The blessings of my life
My children, grandchildren, & hubby
And the Gospel of Jesus Christ
"Please help me Lord - I'm muddling through
I need guidance & light from above
Please bless my family, neighbors, and friends
Help me feel and reflect thy love"
At least a little scripture reading each day
I've been doing this for years
I'm amazed at the difference it makes for me
I feel the spirit and often shed tears
If hubby is home I climb back in bed
"Do you want to go with me for my walk?"
Sometimes he will go... but mostly
He just wants to "cuddle" and talk
When he's working he's up at 4:30 am
Working long days and far from home
I miss him and he misses me
But we're used to this 'being alone'
I miss him and he misses me
But we're used to this 'being alone'
If hubby is gone, which he quite often is
I'm up at the break of dawn
I wish I could sleep in but I'm just like my Dad
So I put my walking shoes on
Well, sometimes I don't - I just step out in my robe
I sit on my front porch and breathe
I love the fresh air, it's a great start to the day
Deep breathing is important to me
And so A Day in The Life begins
Good intentions - but I confess
There's always a list - but when hubby is home
We play it by ear and ignore the mess
There's the family, yard, bills, and all that
The same stuff I guess everyone's got
But we're not really strict and when hubby is home
We go to Costco and dine out a lot.
Because my Mr. is a popular guy
Everyone wants to spend time with him
He's got fix it jobs for family and friends
Such a good guy, he spreads himself pretty thin
There's always some business and work on the side
But he somehow finds time to fish
Or hunt (in season of course), or camp in the hills
A professional sportsman would be his 1st wish
Oh, he likes me too - I know this for sure
We hang out, laugh, and have lots of fun
I tell him, "If I could choose again....
For me, he would still be The One"
Sometimes we have fights - well disagreements I'd say
But we mostly communicate well
We pray together alot and have common goals
That's how we made it through those years from hell
I think we appreciate what we have now
Mr. IDM's a strong and wonderful guy
We're surely not perfect, but I think we're great
We love our interesting life
As I already said - we like to dine out
But when we cook together it's fun
I do the veggies and fruits and healthy stuff
He does the meat and gravy for one
He's not into "clean eating", he thinks I am wierd
But someday he'll see the light
And give up his Coke, Mt. Dew, & treats
Then he won't suffer from heartburn at night
So here's a little bit of truth, I hope he'll forgive me
For telling on him just a bit
My side of the garage is organized and in totes
But if I clean up his side he'll throw a fit
Some days when he's away I get a whole lot done
It's my time and I usually work
But sometimes I really don't do much at all
Except prayer, scriptures, dishes, and facebook
My day often consists of running here and there
It seems I'm often just putting out fires
But I'm glad to take time to shop a little at Kohl's
Gotta use that Kohl's cash before it expires
I do some yoga, sometimes swim at the pool
I have big plans to get into this blog
I have projects piled up and I'm writing a book
But mostly I'm stuck in a fog
I read stuff online - mostly health and self help
I read blogs that I truly adore
It's seems I'm quite busy - I volunteer each week
and I plan to volunteer alot more
We have one still at home, and some married kids too
We have grandchildren that are such a joy
We had only granddaughters until last year
We were finally blessed with a boy
We get together for shows, for dinners, and such
Vacations, camping, boating and family fun
But mostly everyone is doing their thing
Work, school, and church keeps us all on the run
We are all faced with trials, we are probably like most
we think we have more than our fair share
We have been through alot, but we're surviving it all
2014 was difficult year
We are grateful to God for the tender mercies we've seen
Without prayer it would have been grim
We believe in the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ
We have truly been blessed by Him
Each Day In The Life of Mr. IDM and his wife
God is called upon through humble prayer
We testify that He is real
So grateful that He's always there
