REMEMBRANCE

When I am gone

Please remember me

 As a heartfelt laugh,

 As a tenderness.

 Hold fast to the image of me

When my soul was on fire,

The light of love shining

Through my eyes.

Remember me when I was singing

And seemed to know my way.

Remember always

When we were together

And time stood still.

Remember most not what I did,

Or who I was;

Oh please remember me

For what I always desired to be:

A smile on the face of God.

You Want To Find This
The Promise Of Redemption

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

II Corinthians 4

THE DREAMERS

In the dawn of the day of ages,
 In the youth of a wondrous race,
 'Twas the dreamer who saw the marvel,
 'Twas the dreamer who saw God's face.


On the mountains and in the valleys,
By the banks of the crystal stream,
He wandered whose eyes grew heavy
With the grandeur of his dream.

The seer whose grave none knoweth,
The leader who rent the sea,
The lover of men who, smiling,
Walked safe on Galilee --

All dreamed their dreams and whispered
To the weary and worn and sad
Of a vision that passeth knowledge.
They said to the world: "Be glad!

"Be glad for the words we utter,
Be glad for the dreams we dream;
Be glad, for the shadows fleeing
Shall let God's sunlight beam."

But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,
The world with its cares grows old;
The night, with the stars that gem it,
Is passing fair, but cold.

What light in the heavens shining
Shall the eye of the dreamer see?
Was the glory of old a phantom,
The wraith of a mockery?

Oh, man, with your soul that crieth
In gloom for a guiding gleam,
To you are the voices speaking
Of those who dream their dream.

If their vision be false and fleeting,
If its glory delude their sight --
Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten
The long, dark hours of night.

> Edward Sims Van Zile <

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

Next stop, sweet sixteen

DateTuesday, May 23, 2023 at 03:44PM

Allissa's disposable birthday ware had lots of gold for a good reason

I said I wanted to tell you about Allissa's recent birthday party, and although I must do so on the fly, I want to make good on that promise.

(We are gearing up for a rather massive holiday weekend that includes a birthday party, so I am busy making menus and shopping lists and getting the house ready.)

Organization is the key to everything.

In addition, tomorrow afternoon TG and I are traveling upstate to Anderson, South Carolina, to pick up our eleven-year-old grandson Andrew, who is going to spend the latter part of the week with us.

He and his family always join us for Memorial Day, as they go to Pennsylvania every year for the Fourth of July.

Andrew, whose school year has concluded, wants to spend a few days with Papaw, learning to work.

So I have formulated menus for his stay, and menus for pre-Memorial Day because Andrew and Brittany and Ember are arriving on Saturday afternoon, and menus for Memorial Day itself.

We will all be in attendance, plus Henry as he is driving down from Greenville for the day.

Mamaw and the birthday girl, for posterity

As well as other special menus for an upcoming exciting event that you shall hear about in due time.

But our Allissa -- second grandchild, second granddaughter -- celebrated her golden birthday about five weeks ago, on Tax Day.

As in, she turned fifteen on April fifteenth.

Daddy's little dividend.

(Joel turned thirty a mere two weeks after Allissa was born. That was a lot of adulting for him in a short span of time.)

But she has grown into a lovely, smart, talented young lady, and we are so grateful for her.

And we love her so much.

As is our custom, we met at the Cracker Barrel in Fort Mill, South Carolina, right on the North Carolina border.

The Carowinds exit.

She carefully blew out her golden candles

It seems that our beloved Essie does not work on Friday nights anymore, and we always ask for her and miss her, but all of the servers there are great.

Everyone arrived on time, good and hungry, and commenced to chatting and catching up which has a tendency to become loud, but the server managed to get all of our orders above the din.

From din to dinner ... the food came and we ate lustily, still talking, though I hope not with our mouths full.

As per usual, the men and boys sat on one end of the long table while the women and girls hung out at the other end.

I always choose a chair smack in the middle so that I can get a little bit of everyone.

Allissa's birthday balloons bobbed overhead.

I had gone to Dollar Tree where the festive mylar helium-filled balloons are a dollar and twenty-five cents, hoping to get a few stars in pink and/or gold.

Then my plan was to go to Publix and get one special birthday balloon to go with those, because their occasion-centric balloons are so pretty and, though a tad more expensive, more special.

The desserts Allissa chose for her party were luscious

But there were no pink or gold stars at DT so I just got three matching Happy Birthday-themed ones which happened to be pink and gold.

They were really pretty and I was glad it worked out that way.

Baby Rhett was seated in a high chair to my right and his dad's left. Chad and I both kept him fed and he played and made a stab at coloring on the provided sheet.

Allissa was on my left and we had a nice time chatting throughout the meal.

Then it was time for dessert and naturally Stephanie had it all covered, but then here came the server bearing a birthday-girl piece of that chocolate sheet cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream beside it.

I could smell the cake but I was not offered a bite and that's a good thing because I had no business eating that.

For her birthday dessert Allissa had chosen a cheesecake assortment and some small petit-four type cakes.

She blew out her candles and we all made our selections.

Who doesn't love a new bottle of their favorite perfume?

Stephanie got busy serving dessert plates and passing them up and down the table.

Then Allissa opened her gifts. She had requested another bottle (we gave her one a few years ago) of Philosophy Amazing Grace.

This time I got her Eau de Parfum (rather than Eau de Toilette) and I could tell that she liked having a "big girl" version of her favorite fragrance.

She received several more beautiful gifts and seemed very pleased with everything.

Our Allissa is growing up. Next birthday will be Sweet Sixteen and I imagine we will go all-out for that.

But first, the remainder of the spring birthdays -- Erica's is on May 30th -- and then on to the summer ones.

Dagny will turn nine on the fourteenth of June. Chad celebrates a birthday on the twenty-sixth of June. Rhett will turn two on the twenty-third of July.

I can almost hear the splashing in the pool and smell the hamburgers on the grill and see the rafts of presents and bobbing balloons.

Allissa's pink-and-gold balloons floated above the party

At the end of August, we will welcome a new baby boy: Brittany and Andrew's first son. Ember's little brother. 

And at the beginning of October, we will greet another new baby boy: Erica and Chad's second son. Rhett's little brother.

Yes! It's a boy. Cherica just found out last Friday. TG and I have four grandsons and four granddaughters.

Four of each. Girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, boy, boy. Boy oh boy!

Not for nothing but four is my favorite number.

And that is all for now.

Except to say, what are your Memorial Day plans? I want to read all about it.

Happy Tuesday

Those gold candles are pretty cool! Allissa is so beautiful! She looks like she might be shy? The photo of you two together is wonderful! I really like Philosophy, and used to buy their liquid bath soap/shampoo once in a while. I like your earrings!

May 23, 2023 | Unregistered CommenterGinny Hartzler

@Ginny ... Hi my friend! I would not call Allissa shy per se but she is demure, and quiet! But she has a great sense of humor and lots of poise for one so young. Philosophy makes a nice product and certainly puts a great deal of thought into it. I'm glad you like my big earrings, haha! xoxo

May 23, 2023 | Registered CommenterJennifer

Wow - Allysa is really looking grown up, and beautiful! That's a sweet photo of the 2 of you.
I have Philosphy Amazing Grace perfume too and like it. It's such a nice scent, not over powering.
You do have a busy week ahead. It's going to be so nice to have Andrew on his own. That time with just one is special, and I know TG is going to enjoy working with him.
Somehow, Memorial Day has gotten away from me. I just realized last night that it was coming up. So I need to talk to my girls to see if they have any plans. We are seeing all of them Saturday night when we are all going out to celebrate Bon's retirement.
Have a great time with Andrew, and then with the rest of the family!

Happy Birthday to Allissa!! Growing up beautiful...looks like Mamaw!
Lots of birthdays! How fun for you all!
No Way Dagny will be NINE??? Oh Jenny...time is really flying...I still remember your announcement of her impending birth! Reality check here...lol
The perfume sounds wonderful...I'll be checking it out at our Drug Emporium. If you chose it for her, I know it is wonderful.
Have a sweet week, little love!
hugs

Happy birthday to Allissa, she's beautiful like her grandmother.
Congrats to Chad and Erica-Brittany and Andrew on their sons. Little boys are amazing.

May 24, 2023 | Unregistered CommenterJane

@Mari ... uh, yeah ... when Andrew called this past Saturday to tell me they'd be coming on the Saturday before Memorial Day, I thought, oh that's two or three weeks from now ... yes! I really thought that! And it was the next day before I realized that is THIS Saturday! I went for a teensy tizzy and then calmed down because I am organized and this will be such fun! The pirate's social calendar sure is full this late spring of 2023, haaahaa! Since it's easy to throw burgers and dogs on the grill and whip up a few easy sides, I'm sure y'all will have a relaxing and family-filled Memorial Day. It's all good! xoxo

@Donna ... YES NINE. I have to figure out how to get my head around that. She is so TALL and becoming a young lady right before our eyes. I love nine-year-old girls ... I used to teach that age in Sunday school and I love how they are still little girls but also older girls at the same time. Such a wonderful age. Do you know, I actually have no idea what Philosophy Amazing Grace smells like, haaha! The bottles are always wrapped up when I give them, and I've never smelled it on Allissa that I know of. But I'm sure if SHE likes it, it's a good one. I love giving fragrance if I know it will be worn and enjoyed. I would be nothing without my perfumes, haaha! Happy Memorial Day xoxo

@Jane ... Yes she is a lovely girl and YES boys are fantastic! I'm looking forward to two new little grandsons. What a blessing. I hope you are well! I wish I could see your blog! I'll try again. Happy Memorial Day! xoxo

May 24, 2023 | Registered CommenterJennifer

Happy Birthday!! What a nice celebration she had. As always you were spot on with the decorations. I love Philosophy Amazing Grace. It's such a light and clean perfume. Congratulations on having two new grandsons soon. How exciting. Your family is really growing. Enjoy your holiday weekend my friend.

May 24, 2023 | Unregistered CommenterLori

@Lori ... We sure enjoyed being together and celebrating our Allissa. I am going to have to make a point to smell that fragrance because everyone except me seems to know what it smells like, hahaha! I sat right beside her last night in church and did not smell it! Yes we are full of excitement over the two new baby boys. What a blessing. Have a happy Memorial Day! xoxo

May 25, 2023 | Registered CommenterJennifer

Looks like a nice party for a sweet girl! Shes beautiful! I love that you have four of each grandchild! We have two barbeques to attend this weekend so it will keep us busy! Enjoy yours my friend!

May 26, 2023 | Unregistered CommenterJeanette

@Jeanette ... she is a doll! Quite a girl. Enjoy your family and especially those two little grandsons at the barbecues! Happy Memorial Day! xoxo

May 26, 2023 | Registered CommenterJennifer

Happy Memorial Day! We are currently in between vacations. Congrats on your upcoming grandkids. We also have one coming in September. That will give us 1 grandson and 3 granddaughters. We are lopsided but hoping for one more grandson eventually to even things out a bit.

We took my mom to the national cemetery today to see my dad’s grave and my in-laws’ graves. It was nice to see all the flags. The Boy Scouts put an individual flag at each tombstone. It’s amazing to see!

May 27, 2023 | Unregistered CommenterBijoux

@Bijoux ... Congratulations on that new little one! How exciting! What an honor to visit a national cemetery to pay respects to your loved ones. That is amazing. How grateful we all are for their service and their patriotism and their sacrifice! xoxo
