Who Am I?

These are just a few pics of myself ....never been photogenic like my sister but that's life!
I'm just searching for answers and not sure where to look! I'm a wife a mother,Grandmother and about to be a Great Grandmother!! All that's great but it doesn't tell me who I really am! I want to know more about me and what makes me tic!! I'm basically a simple person...I don't want much when it comes to material things but I do want something more than what I have...just not sure exactly what that is :( I'm not saying I'm unhappy but I think I'm missing something deep down in my soul! I really don't want to get heavy when it comes to my thoughts so I'll try to keep it light!
I have had a great life,I married young and still with the same man.I have four children and nine grandchildren.I've tried to live my life in the best way possible but know I've made mistakes along the way. I was always a stay at home mom and very thankful to be able to do so! I think I'm struggling more now than I was then....maybe because I felt like I had a purpose then! Now when most of my friends are coming to retirement age they're collecting on their retirement and I feel lost where they feel free!
My hope by writing on my Blog is to really find my purpose and to find that peace I'm searching for! I will be sharing my thoughts, hopes and dreams on my Blog in hopes that I will find what's next after fifty something!
Thank you for taking the time to read and hope that what I have to say might also benefit someone else besides myself!

Feeding The Homeless....

Serving the homeless means more to me than I would have ever thought! As I looked into the eyes of these people yesterday I saw the hurt ,pain and the suffering they have but also saw the gratitude they have for those that care. The people are all ethnicity and ages. I'm sure each one has a story to tell on how and why there in the predicament their in.Whatever the reason I'm sure it's not where they want to be!
There no possible way to serve these people without having donations! It's as important as the ones that give of their time preparing and serving! We served approximately 150 people breakfast yesterday morning.The menu varies while each group that prepare and serve choose what to prepare! Our group served pancakes,bacon,oatmeal fruit and granola toppings,fresh oranges and grapefruit slices,coffee and orange juice! I was amazed at that there were no left overs but also there was just enough to serve all the people!
I want to finish with a scripture that I hope touches your heart as it does mine...

Matthew 25:34-40English Standard Version (ESV)

34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.’

New Year...New Me!

Here I am with three of my grands! I have eight grandchildren and one on the way! Today is my oldest Grandchild's eighteenth birthday which reminds me ......I'm getting older also :) But that fine with me because as time goes on I only get better...like a fine glass of wine! I learned that age doesn't have to scare us ...it's all in how you look at it! I have gotten my butt back into church and have grown in my Faith...never really understood why I left!! Also have given my spare time to volunteer at a Homeless shelter every first weekend of every other month ! I find that pleasing to my soul to volunteer for the homeless! I hope my new business as a (Mary Kay consultant) to grow! I started off selling the products to introduce good make up and cleansers to my granddaughters while also caring for my own complexion! My Aunt sold Mary Kay back in the 70's and 80's...she could be a poster model for Mary Kay ! My youngest daughter said to me after telling her I was selling Mary Kay...Mom that's old school products... my response,that in itself  should tell you, there's some reason why that is... Gotta be good :) If anyone in my area would like to have a party or even a facial ,I would be so excited to introduce them to this fine line of cleanser and ,make-up and many more products! My next new me is shooting also for loosing weight :( since Thyroid disease I've packed on the pounds! Now taking back control of my life!! My final new me will get back into Blogging.It's therapy for me to write :) Tired at the moment so keeping it short!    Yesterday is gone with all its problems. Tomorrow is not here yet; don't worry or even give thought to the problems that it might bring. Let today reign. Take control of today and make it yours without thought of the yesterdays or tomorrows to come, because today is a new day for you to SHINE
