Blessed by SAINTS!!!

This is a picture of my lovely Grandmother!!

O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,

fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,

and win, with them the victor's crown of gold.

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Hello friends!! This verse is from a hymn that we sing on All Saints Day in our church to remember and celebrate the lives of those who have gone before us. For today...I think SAINTS is the theme! The New Orleans Saints have a big game tonight (as much as I love the Titans, I did grow up watching the Saints!), but I am especically celebrating my Grandmother, Carrie Block, who would have turned 84 today!!! There are not enough words to describe this woman, but if I had to pick one, it would be STRONG! She was a tiny woman, but boy she was tough as nails! She absolutely loved Chris too. I will never forget when I started dating Chris, she would call me and before asking how I was doing, she wanted to know all about Chris!! I knew she approved of him...she didn't have to tell me she did! Anyway, the reason I chose this verse to share is because my Grandmother was a fighter until the very end of her life on this earth. As I think about Chris this week, I think about how exciting, yet tiring this week is going to be. Pray that Chris will put up a good fight and stay STRONG through the 108 holes he plays! (YES, he will be playing 108 holes!! WHEW!!) Pray that he will remain calm throughout all of this and that he will continue to glorify God by using all of his talent to the best of his ability. This is it! He has worked so hard this year and we remain blessed with what God has given us. No matter the outcome of this week, God is good and we give all the praise to Him! He has provided richly in all aspects of our lives and we just look forward to what He has in store for us! Thanks for all of your continued support! We continue to be FAITHFUL in His will for our lives!! I think that is it for now, but keep checking back! It is going to be a great week!!!! Much love from Nashville!!!!
