Julie's First Baby, July 9th, 1986
Welcome Curtis Lawrence!
Julie was told by doctors that
she would probably never be
able to have any childred.
when she learned she was
expecting Curtis Lawrence,
she was one of the happiest,
mothers-to-be, on record.
He decided to arrive while I
was out of town. Needless to
say, when I arrived home a few
days later, I immediately got in
my car and drove to Columbus to
meet my new grandson. 
And Mom said that I was the first one
to get a smile out of him....


                                
 
February 3rd 1988, Welcome Kayleigh Ann
I didn't leave town this time...
was able to be with Curtis
and Julie, when Kayleigh Ann
arrived. 
Julie was So Happy being a Mom.

 "OUR LIVES WERE FOREVER CHANGED, AT THAT MOMENT"
                               
"And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God,  to those who are called according to his purpose"
 
May 1995

I consider that our present sufferings.
are not worth comparing with the glory
that shall be revealed in us
Romans 8:18                                                       

 
May 20, 1995

To everything there is a season
A time for every purpose under heaven
A time to be born and a time to die
A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to dance

He has made everything beautiful in it's time
He has put eternity in our hearts

No one can find out the work that God does
from beginning to end...

1961-1995
            
"I'll lend you for a little time", a child of mine," He said,
"For you to love the while she lives and morn for, when
she's dead.
It may be six or seven years or twenty-two or three,
but will you til I call her back, take care of her for me?"

"She'll bring her charms to gladden you and 
should her stay be brief, 
you'll have her lovely memories, 
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay, 
since all from earth return,
but there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over, 
in My search for teachers true
and from the throng that crowd life's lanes
I have selected you...
Now will you give her all your love,
not think the labor vain,
nor hate me when I come to call and
take her back again?"
I fancied that I heard you say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done, 
for all the joy this child shall bring,
the risk of grief, I'll run.
I will shelter her with tenderness,
I will love her, while I may and 
for the happiness I have known, will forever grateful stay.
But should the angels come for her, much sooner than I'd planned,
I'll brave the bitter grief  that comes and
try to understand."
