Where your TREASURE is so also your HEART will be...










Where ever we find our treasure we place our hearts. When our hearts are left to find joy in the finite things of this world we are left empty and wanting more.

Yet when we seek our treasure in doing the will of God He rewards us with an ever expanding love that covers all failures and deficits. I have found great treasure in the children God has given me. There too is my heart. But my heart did not think it could love this much or this many...God asked for my leap of faith and He has rewarded me with a heart that has grown larger and more willing to risk it all for love.


My children are my treasure. There also is my heart. In these days of uncertainty and financial anxieties I take great comfort in knowing that my treasure is secure. My fortune is my family and no market crash can ever devalue or discredit that. I was reminded of this while praying the rosary with Tim the other night. First of all listening to tim pray is one of my all time favorite things! There is nothing better or more attractive than a man who is humble enough to PRAY!!! The Blessed Mother has been so good to us and I was reminded as we sat in our family rm how blessed we really are. I have a beautiful family and that is something I need to cherish more. I often give it a lot of lip service but I need to really LIVE IT from the heart.

LEFTOVERS


Talking talking talking coffee coffee coffee...I love these people!!! How I miss Kelly and Martin and the kids!!!

What a gift my family is to me!
I am RICH beyond compare!! The Lord has blessed me with People! And as we say often in this household - "People are more important than things!"















These pics are "leftovers" from Kelly and Martin's stay here with us this summer. There was a mix up and somehow pics got deleted...MArtin sent a back up cd and I was finally able to go through ALL the pics...whew!








Life has been fast and furious lately. Not at all how I prefer it. I like things slow and easy going. I am beco



ming more and more convicted every day that life needs to become less complicated in order for it to become more rich!







My kiddos have enough challenges to meet and me to prepare them for just by growing and learning and being part of a family. That in and of itself keeps me busy. I must try to focus on what matters and "keep it simple stupid"!
