I remember waiting at the hospital for their delivery. Ashley came first. They were so tiny. Mason was the biggest at 5 pounds, Aussie the smallest at 3 pounds and Ashley 4 pounds eight ounces. Now they are ten years old. How can that be? The time has gone so quickly.
And this brings on my rant for the day...families now move to where they can find work, or for any number of other reasons and the extended family doesn't get to see them much. It makes it very hard to keep the close bonds that grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins should have. I miss seeing them. But I'm thankful for Face time and Skype. I'm thankful that even though we can't travel as much as we would like, at least we get together once in a while. Even though we couldn't be there with them for their birthday this year, we did see them the month before.
It has been about 20 days since their birthday. I'm finally getting the layout posted.
Well, what do you think? Our president just pulled the executive order trick again after Congress refused to sign his Dream Act. His order gave some 1.7 million additional illegal immigrants the chance to live and work openly in the US. Immigration officials will begin accepting applications to defer deportations.
Each illegal will also be given the right to a driver's license and Social Security. Looks like if a president doesn't have the numbers he needs to get reelected, he can just wave a magic wand and bring in more. Our nation may as well sing it's farewell song, unless God is willing to step up to our defense.
I pray that God will find us deserving of another chance to show Him our allegiance.
In the Psalms 29:11 we are told, "The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace." We need to show him that we are really his people.
