My dear child

I see your perfect little lips

Your tiny fingers

And ten tiny toes

I'm amazed everytime I think of you

I see your tiny nails and sweet little nose

I wonder who you'd be

Who would you look like

Would you look like me?

Maybe you'd have your daddy's smarts

Or my creative side

I want so much to know you, love

My soul, it weeps inside

Everytime I think of you

I think of all we'll miss

And I long to hold you one more time

To give you one last kiss.

Worrying

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" Matt. 6:25 - 26 (ESV)  When we consider our lives, do we truly understand that all things are in God's Hands? So often we struggle with situations or difficulties and try to fix them. Sometimes there are actions we can take, but then we worry about whether it was the right action or choice. We need to lay it all before Him in prayer and then trust that He is in control of all things! Seek God's help, and then trust that He will lead you on the right path.  We also need to remember to leave it with Him. There have been times in my life where I've prayed about things and I say I'm leaving ...

Church Family

Day 20 - "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity" Psalm 133:1 I am so thankful for my family in Christ. How blessed we are to be able to go to church today! To be able to worship in freedom, to openly share our faith and praise God. This past year there have been times when the love of our church family has truly shone brightly. I am so thankful for the love and care God has shown through his people. This past year we have had countless meals made for us, people have helped clean our house, and we've received numerous cards. Our communion of saints has cared for us, loved us and supported us through all the trials and hardships this past year has seen. I am so thankful that God has given us our church family. It is truly a blessing and an amazing thing to see everyone working together to support each other. With love, #thenormelhouse because things in life are never really normal

Puppies, babies and more late night ruminations

Puppies grow so fast - It's amazing how quickly they grow. There is something so therapeutic about snuggling a puppy... I love crawling in the pen and taking all of them in my lap. They'll suck on your chin, your nose, your fingers, any warm skin lol! They're hungry little monsters and I can't imagine what their momma must feel! They tug and pull and shove their paws at her, making greedy sucking noises lol Its 8 weeks of cuteness and amazement Yup. I'm repeating myself. But really, who can blame me? I received my Square in the mail today and spent the evening entering products, codes and prices. I'm kind of excited to try it out at my vendor show this weekend. Fingers crossed I have some success in growing my business! I still haven't really come up with a cool name, but part of me wonders if I should just leave it under the NorMel House "umbrella". Not that the Nor ever calls us that, but the Mel is sticking with it. Between puppies, croc...
