Give a little bit of love

I am writing this post today with a heavy heart. It is times like this that we stop and realize that sometimes things don't always turn out like we plan them. However, we still feel blessed by the love God has for us.

 I would like to share a story about a couple who I have the privilege of knowing. I have known Brittni for 22 years. Her mom, Tracey and I are very close. She was there for me when my son had cancer and she held me up when the doctor's had me in a little room and gave me news that no mother wants to hear. She took care of my little girl as if she were her own, so my husband and I could be by my son's bedside and never leave. Our son went home to be with the Lord. But Tracey has and is still there for me and helps to keep my son's memory alive.

 Now, it is time for me, in some small way, to be there for her daughter. Brittni was told that her precious baby Ezekiel Anthony has anencephaly, which means he will only grace our lives for a very short time. Both her and her husband have chose to carry their sweet baby to term. He is a blessing from God and has already touched many hearts. They both have a love for Jesus that is unwavering which shows through their love, courage and strength.

 Steven and Brittni want so badly to have something that will always remind them of their baby boy. They are now raising funds for a memorial bench in honor of their sweet Ezekiel Anthony. I am asking if you could please help them raise some of the funds to make their wish come true.

 Ezekiel may go from his mommy's womb to the arms of Jesus, or he may stay for a short time. Only our Heavenly Father knows.

 Could you please take a minute click here for all the information and a story from Zeke's mommy and daddy, and if you can find it in your heart. Please give a little love.

Thank you, God bless you, Cathy

Some thoughts

Happy new year. I hope everyone had a great Holiday. we did. I really wanted to get some pictures up on this pathetic blog of our Christmas but I am not sure that is where I want to go with this yet. I am not sure if I want a public blog and actually do something with it, or, a private one where I can add as many pictures as I want. I have been going back and forth with this in my head. I love my house and I would really like to jump on the bandwagon and link up to some parties, but I feel as though I am just putting to much of myself out there.

So, my New Yer resolution, ( I don't really make them,) is to make a decision this month as to weather I am going to take the plunge and actually start this blog. I want to share my home which has been a labor of love. Most of all I want to share my babies. My daughter and I have talked about it. I may even think about her and I doing this whole blog thing together.

So, I hope I can make my mind up and either hop on the blog train or not.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We are freezing here in California. We had snow yesterday and today we did not get out of the 30's. Tonight we are in the teens. Makes me feel like I am back east again. This whole weather thing has been so crazy.
