Hello To all my wonderful friends,

Thank you so much for the prayers concerning my back.

I do feel a little better but still need your prayers.

I really don't want to have to have the back surgery but am willing to go through what ever my Lord has planned for my life.

Mother's Day was a wonderful day to be in the House Of The Lord. He was so sweet and real yesterday.

Kristi has been taking my little 5 year old's until I can start making it back up-stairs to teach them again. I really hope it will be this coming Sunday but will not push it.

Thank you Kristi for being such a wonderful, faithfull daughter to the Lord and also to your mother.

Church last night was precious.

Please pray for a family in our church that we love dearly. They are having a very ruff time right now and need your prayers.

I went to bed praying and have only slept for about 2 hours and have been praying off and on ever since. God knows all about it and if you will just pray he will know who you are talking about.

Larry got me a new camer for Mother's day and also the most beautiful flowers for my front porch and for my yard.

He had our son John come over with the tiller and they tilled around our flag pole and Hannah and Larry with Harrison's help planted all the flowers and they are doing great!!!!

As soon as I learn how to down load my pictures from my camer I will send them to all of you.

Our bank has merged with a bank out of Ohio called, 5/3. FIFTH THIRD.

I am very excited about this. It seems that it is going to be good for the employees and also for our customers. The take over will be June 6. Pray that God will give the knowledge to learn about their new products and also the new computer. It is very different than what we are using now and I will need prayers in theis area. I know that my God will help me.

My Secret Pal got me for Mothers Day a pair of PJ's, a deep orange shirt, 2 pair of wonderful socks that are so soft and just feel wonderful on your feet, a basket of spa things for my hands from bath and body works and a bag of chocolate candy from Hershey's called Bliss. It is their newest candy that they are making now. I enjoyed about 5 pieces and then put them away before I would eat them all. Ha ha

Thank you my secret pal if you read this. It was a wonderful surprise.

My daughter Kristi and her family got me some undies and a very very nice bathrobe. I wore it Saturday night and it really in nice.

My son John got me a sun bonnett and also a bag that I can carry with me. It will really be nice to have if I get to go to the beach sometime this Summer.

Well this is all I am going to do for now.

Keep us in your prayers and I love all of you.

By the way, it was a blessing to have the Peeler family with us Sunday night.

They are a real blessing to me. They live somewhere in Spartanburg and I miss them very much. Sisters you are a blessing and I love you bunches.

Lisa and Wade, you have been a blessing to me since day one and I know that you guys love the Lord. I pray that you will continue to serve the One that has given us such a wondrful life.
