Sorry I have been a little distant this year . I have had a lot of different emotions to deal with this past year. I am so glad I have a sweet and devoted husband that has not left my side through this year. First my Mom past away a terrible death she suffered. I was with her by my self when she took her last breathe. Then my son was sentenced to a federal prison for 2 years. It broke mine and my husbands heart. He was always such a wonderful son and still is in our hearts. He was president of his 4-H club for 5 years. Don't know how he got off track. Then my youngest son and his fiancee had a baby. My first grand daughter. They bought a place and moved out which is a happy event for them. But it seemed like all the people I loved so much in my life vanished all at once. Of course the new baby brought us joy and a blessing. I am hoping for a happier year. I know God has many plans for me his coming year. And he will never give me more than I can handle. It is time for me to renew my membership which I plan on doing tomorrow. Glad I am feeling better emotionally. Going to take one of the empty rooms and turn it into a craft/sewing room and move forward. Being able to jump off and on here in the last year and keeping up some with all my farming girls was a big help. Thank You, MaryJane's Farm....

Dorinda,
I am so sorry to hear that you have been having such a difficult time...I too was with my mom and dad when they went on to be with the Lord...it is such a sad feeling in one way...but knowing they were not alone gave me a lot of comfort...hopefully in time you can find comfort in that too...so sorry about your son...the day and time we live in tends to have a way of leading even the best children astray...prayerfully this time will somehow lead him to God...and in the midst of the rain...the baby is the sunshine...how precious to have a sweet baby in your life...
Please know that in time things will get better...you just have to keep trusting God no matter the situation...we are here for you...if you need any of us all you have to do is just let us know...
Hugs!
Judy

Oh my. So many things to deal with in such a short time frame. Bless you for you faith and understanding. I am sure that everyone around you, including your children, see your sweetness and faith and know that there is something different about you. That speaks more volumes than any words. Having had a child go astray for a time, myself, I can tell you that with prayer and patience, because we "raise them up in the way that they should go" very often they come back much stronger and more faithful. We can certainly pray for you and your family!!

Dorinda so sorry for the loss of your mother. Hopefully your son will come out wiser and stronger once his time is served. I will pray for you and your family. I hope the grandchild will help bring much needed joy back into your life. Hugs to you.

Dorinda...so sorry for your year of heart ache and empty nest. It's so hard and many of us have
been there too. The year I turned 50 was my really difficult year that I would never want to
go through again in a million life times. I have had other difficult years besides that but
that was the roughest. But when I think about what we each have gone through it makes me realize
that we are never alone...others have felt our pain too...and The God of The Valley is also
The God of The Mountain Top! And when LIFE IS TOUGH...He is Faithful!!
I pray a better year for you dear Farmsister. 
Blessings and Hugs,
Peggy

Dorinda, Wow, you have had quite a year. I know how much you miss your mother every day and I can't imagine the heartache you and your husband have with your son. So happy to hear that you also have some joy to balance your life. That granddaughter will be plenty important to you!
Best wishes for a better year ahead. So glad to know I will see more posts from you in the future.
