Re: Just a note to help END 2007 & give light to 2008

[Guest guest]

,

I doubt you even remember me as I have been pretty absent on the list - we used

to e-mail occasionally long ago when was first diagnosed.

Thank you for the lovely sentiments with which to begin the New Year...your

words are especially encouraging to me at this time. I pray for a blessed New

Year for you and Blake.

Hi to EVERYONE!!!

Today is the LAST day of 2007!!

Tomorrow brings us a renewed hope......for the days ahead. A new

peace....to enjoy the days ahead. A new love for others we have not

met and a renewed love for all those we have had as " forever

Friends " . It also brings us a new beginning......the resolutions we

may or may not keep(I try not making them because of the fear of not

keeping them).

In the world of Blake, it brings about new chances. He has a new

chance to miff the medical world, A new chance to find more woods &

spaces to explore. A new chance to maybe " out grow " some of the

immune issues as well as the Autism. A new chace to grow older(jan 31

is his BIG b-day......16)and be the wiser of the group!! New books

to read, new lessons to learn, new Lessons to teach!!!

In just 24 hrs. we all have the chance to be somebody we wanted to

be. Some will become first time parents, some will be come

grandparents either it be the first or even # 11. Some will get a new

improved job, some may retire for a simpler life.

In all of Life's journeys, we have to take the good, the bad & the

ugly.....

Our wish is for everyone to Not have to face the bad & ugly. But if

by chance we do......at least we know who leads us. It IS He who

calls the shots with the outcome of everything!!! We have to put

TURST in Only Him to accomplish anything.

Blake has always had one encouraging sentence he always used/uses. It

enters out prayers on a daily basis. It also just appears when we

are riding down the road in the car, sometimes it shows its sweet,

sweet sound in a " just because moment..... "

" GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.........ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!!! "

Ever since he was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper & when he finally said a

full sentence at age 4 he has used this 2 line encouragement. He

used it on the many trips to the Hospital, many trips to out of town

Dr. appts. Right before going into surgery. during times of testing ,

or PICC line placements that should have only taken 20 mins. but

lasted 3-4 hrs. His Drs. were/are very amazed at his stamina,

reslience, & his genuine Love for God.

My Blake has changed my life in sooooo many ways. Patience was NOT a

virtue for me before he came along. He has put me on soooo many

adventures that really knocked me off my feet. Now I have other's

asking how can you just wait patiently for the answers . I want

answers, I want healing, I want peace of mind in knowing that if I

left this world today, Blake will be taken care of & be able to

survive on his own!!!

As I said in the intro, there are NO pity parties going on in this

home......just some good ole christian fun loving & God fearing folks

taking one day, one hour, one minute & one second at a time &

learning God's ways as we tarry on!!!

Thank You for reading

Have a Very BLESSED & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR........2008

Love to all that read......blessings to all,

& Blakester
