Today Kaylee and I will be taking Grandma Faye back home and stopping to visit Grandma Gloria...
Grandma Gloria is finally moving back into her own room today...after the water main break...

I found this written by Joni Eareckson Tada...beautiful way to look at life while going through difficult times and not knowing what the future may bring...
SHATTERED GLASS
My art studio is a mess of half-chewed pastel pencils, old tubes of paint and piles of illustrations overflowing my file drawers. Recently, while cleaning up, I discovered some broken glass on the counter by the window. I also discovered that when sunlight struck the shattered glass, brilliant, colorful rays scattered everywhere.
Shattered glass is full of a thousand different angles, each one picking up a ray of light and shooting it off in a thousand directions. That does not happen with plain glass, such as a jar. The glass must be broken into many pieces.
What's true of shattered glass is true of a broken life. Shattered dreams. A heart full of fissures. Hopes that are splintered. A life in pieces that appears to be ruined. But given time and prayer, such a person's life can shine more brightly than if the brokenness had never happened. When the light of the Lord Jesus falls upon a shattered life, that believer's hopes can be brightened.
Only our great God can reach down into what otherwise would be brokenness and produce something beautiful. With him, nothing is wasted. Every broken dream and heart that hurts can be redeemed by his loving, warm touch. Your life may be shattered by sorrow, pain or sin, but God has in mind a kaleidoscope through which his light can shine more brilliantly.

I am so thankful for my faith in God and knowing He is carrying us through these difficult times...Amen!
Another great day!
