Wisdom From Grandma~5

"If you try and fail at least you learn -- but you can't learn if you don't try."

Lily and Grandma circa 2010

I have been a horrible blogger lately. I just haven't been feeling it, and that's okay. I do this for me, and my family. To have memories of the girls and what we do daily or weekly. I have been seriously slacking at picture taking too. If it hasn't been taken with my phone it hasn't been taken. I don't know what it is, maybe the weather? I am over snow and cold weather. Hopefully I can get it together soon!

"When I think of all the things that would have never been-- if you had never been--I celebrate the day you were born."

Wisdom From Grandma~2

"Hope is not pretending that troubles don't exist. It is the trust that they will not last forever, that hurts will be healed and difficulties overcome. It is faith that a source of strength and renewal lies within to lead us through the dark to the sunshine."

Wisdom From Grandma

My sister happened on a notebook at my Grandma's house a couple months ago with handwritten notes, quotes, verses and clippings. Things that she loved and felt important enough to keep and refer back too. I am going to start posting some here as a pick me up for myself and maybe others. 

"Lord, give me the wisdom to be thankful for the small things; home, family, a warm fire, a loaf of bread, a cup of coffee, and friends."
