One week down 51 more to go!

What a week! I knew it was going to be tough, but not this tough. A few things that set me off this week:
1) The Build a Bears that Richard gave thei kids have been going off non stop, I have heard his voice around the clock, now I love that they love the animals and all, but their push buttons only have 1000 pushed and I am sure they will need to be replaced soon! Great how will I do that?

2) There is a song on the radio that Heather keeps telling me about, I finally saw the video and wondered why she cried and thought of us... until I saw it on Friday... Trace Atkins, All I Ask for Anymore... I cried an ocean that day!

3) The shooting in Texas. So my heart has been a little comforted by the fact that Richard is still in the U.S. until that happened. Now all worried are set in. I am exercising great faith that he is okay.

4) Our family prayers have been centered around the soldiers safety! When we pray anytime the kids very first request to their Heavenly Father is that the soldiers are safe! I never thought that such a request would be in my childrens prayers!

So I am now prepared for the weeks to come.
51 and counting!
I love you Sgt.!

It's amazing how little things can seem so insignificant until your hubby leaves. Through faith, service, prayer and good works, our soldiers will be blessed and come home safely.
