I Believe......

I believe...

...That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in awhile
and you must forgive them for that.

...that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

...that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.  It may be the last time you see them.

...that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.  Same goes for true love.

...that you can keep going long after you think you cant.

...that either you control your attitude or it controls you

...that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

...that sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesnt give me the right to be cruel.

...that it isnt always enough to be forgiven by others.  Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

...that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesnt stop for your grief.

...that our background & circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

...that you shouldnt be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

...that two people can look at the exact same thing & see something totally different.

...that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who dont even know you.

...that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being

...that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon

...the happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything - they just make the most of everything they have.
 
 
Some food for thought on this wonderful Monday!  Hope this finds everyone doing well!
 
Love,

The Boys got BAPTIZED!

A very special day this month occurred a few weeks ago!  The boys got BAPTIZED at St. Patrick Church in Franklin.  It was a very special day for us!  I am so tired tonight and am not going to post the details, but I wanted to let you all in on the photos of the day!  Enjoy the video!  A friend I went to high school with came and took pictures for me and she did a GREAT job!  Thanks Olivia!

 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:19, 20
