....Happy Easter everyone.
As a kid, I knew what
Easter was about. My parents made sure to let us know the true meaning
behind Holidays like this and at the same time made it possible for us
to enjoy the fun things about being a kid ...the Easter Bunny, Santa
Claus and so on. We knew. And it made it that much better. Though I
admit going to church on Easter Sunday was the last thing I wanted to do
back then. I wanted my Easter egg hunt and candy - though I did love
getting to wear a really pretty dress.
But these days,
this Holiday is so much more. Means so much more. I am truly amazed by
the sacrifice that was made on a hill for me, for me and everyone ever
on Earth since, before and after. It amazes me to think that maybe
while it was being made, Jesus thought of me. He knew how much I would
sin in my life and how much I would be unable to master it on my own.
And he loved me enough to die for me. Just like he did for all of you.
How Amazing is that. How loving is that? That kind of love is just.... wow.
I want to love like that too.
Happy Easter Everyone.
Love,
Debrah.

January 5
So.. a new year.
I've been trying to write this blog for ..five days. But couldn't really think of anything New Years to say. So, maybe I'd try uplifting?
Already, I know that the beginning of 2013 is going to be difficult. But I am determined to have a good year this year. I am determined to remember the good times during the upcoming trials.
And honestly, right now, a positive entry is difficult to write.
I don't really do resolutions, as in setting a big one each year. It's just not my thing really. I just try and make it a good year. I do have hopes for 2013.. but those are for another post. I do have several coming. Just not sure where to start. So, I thought wishing you all a happy 2013 and actuallly writing my first post of the year was a good place for it.
Best wishes for a good year to all of you,
Debrah.

One More Time in 2012
2012.
What a year.
Honestly, not the best year. So many changes. Many loved ones lost. But honestly? A blessed year. We received a precious baby girl in our family this year. We learned alot about love. No, really, we learned alot about love. I learned that ...as a body fails, spirit and strength grows ever stronger. And not just for the survivors, for the person passing to another life as well. I always thought I respected my elders. I always did, but this past year, I really learned what the tone of that truly meant. It doesn't mean yes ma'am or sir. It doesn't mean that at all. It means, to me, that even if someone is old or disabled or young or whatever -- they are feeling. They are caring, deeply, beyond words. They are loving and hurting and worth every second you can give. They are worth that phone call. They are worth that drive across town.
I also learned alot about myself this year. I want to say I struggled to change things about myself. That was my goal. Not a resolution, but a goal that carries until it is complete even if it is past the end of the year. But I know, looking back at the last eight months (it wasn't set last New Year) that there are times that I could have and need to put more into obtaining that goal.
In all honesty, this has been up there on the list of 'worst years of my life' but it was also a very teaching and heartfelt year. And that, my friends, is what I plan to take away from it, carry with me, and live and grow on.
Happiest of New Years to you and your families and friends,
From Me, and Mine,
Debrah.

Unique Date Today
Check out the date: 12.12.12.
This is a date that is unique for a couple reasons. The triple twelves in a row, and also that it is the last time a tripled date such as 02.02.02 or 09.09.09 or 12.12.12 will happen until the start of the next century - 01.01.2101.
Pretty cool huh? Unique date. Thought I'd mark it here.
Have a good night everyone!

Thankful..
Thankful today, for my family, for my friends near and far. Thankful that there is food in the refrigerator. Thankful that my doors have locks. Thankful for safety, security and love. Thankful that knowing no matter how much I mess up, God loves me still, my family loves me still, my friends love me still.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone.
