Spring Cleaning

Early Spring cleaning has come upon our home. I'm driving everyone nuts with cleaning and sorting and organizing. After all, can't have our soldier home for leave and have the house be dirty...NO WAY!!! Changing curtains, washing windows...all the dirt he's had to deal with for the past year...he won't find any here when he visits. He wants no parties or recognition for the things he's sacrificed...just wants to spend time with family. FINE BY ME!!!
Everyone can't wait to see him...he's the hero of our family, that's for sure! I just wonder how I'll muster up the strength to say goodbye again...knowing he's going back to the war. God will get us all through it until this war is over and brings all of our troops home.
My friends and family are probably...no, I know they're tired of hearing me go on and on about Joe and all he's been up to. I haven't forgotten about anyone...it's just that my priorities are elsewhere right now. Sorry...but when your kid is thrown into a world full of haters and sacrifices his life for others, you'd think of nothing else as well.
I pray everyday that his mind is still in tact. He's always been a good boy with a huge heart and I hope all is well for him.
Can't leave without saying how proud I am of my daughter...she made the dean's list again. Way to go Samantha!! We love you too. Yes, I know I have other children. Hopefully soon, the old "Me" will return. Lets just all keep praying right now for our military men and women.
Keep your bible close and read scripture everyday.
“And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” -Isaiah 30:21
