The last few weeks have been busy. I have done a lot of the usual…
I’ve spent a lot of time with the people I love.
I have been to two funerals and the visitation of a dear young man who died too young from cancer. It makes you realize to use the time you’ve been given wisely. Love those you love while you can and make sure they know it.
I have traveled…
I went to Savannah and then to the Master’s. I walked alot. I ate alot. I enjoyed time with my husband and our friends. Did I say I ate alot…
Today was Easter and I really loved the day of worship. then family…
I have three beautiful kids –if I do say so myself. Sometimes I go on and on about the grandkids and leave out my precious three gifts from God who gave me those GRANDchildren.
One thing I have not done is focus on my goal for losing weight. I did lose 11 pounds from Jan to March for the Scale Back Alabama promotion but I have not remained focused.
Today’s motivational tip is…
Knowledge is power, but without action it’s useless. Renew your mind daily through the truth of the Word, then use that wisdom to guide your body and soul.
I love my Daddy’s hands- they are older now and have age spots,( they are still beautiful to me) but in my life they have fixed things, loved us and have never hurt us. Here Abby is holding on to Poppy’s finger. Sometimes that is how I feel about me and God- I am hanging on to His finger. I always need Him, but I am not taking advantage of the big strong hand that wants to hold me, and help me.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life- I serve a Risen Savior. I am a daughter of the King. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I have been given so much more than I deserve.
My cup runneth over!
I will keep on keeping on and I will win the race.
Be blessed!

Hi Lorie,
What a beautiful family you are!! I love, love, love your haircut! I didn't know you got it cut, you look adorable. What a beautiful post today. You know when you just know that if you lived close to someone, you'd be really great friends, well I think we would be!!
He is Risen, we had an amazing service yesterday, I want to keep it close, I don't want to get too busy and forget to tell HIM how much I love him daily. I too am blessed.
Have a wonderful Monday.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Hello Lorie...
I've missed you...and I love your haircut! I'm happy that you were able to be away with John...Savannah !!! never been there but if it's anything like Charleston I know I would love it.
Easter Sunday was great and we had a Friday night that was was so special...focusing more on His death than the resurrection. We observed the Lords Supper in a defferent way for us...We went to the front by rows and recieved ehe sacrements one by one...the way the Catholic Church observes...a first for me in that manner and it seemed more meaningful.
HE IS RISEN!
You have gotten your hair cut too!
Love all of the photos of your beautiful family. The picture of the baby holding hands with your Dad... priceless.
Be blessed Lorie!
A precious family you have for sure! I love hearing about folks, such as yourself, who have their priorites in order and such a love for their family. I could just almost see it bubbling over in you!
I guess we passed shoulders at the Masters and didn't even know!

I'm working on loosing those last 10-15 pounds...I started walking a course with hills...seems to be working!
