ONE MONTH TO LIVE

DAY 8
Today we had a picnic at the local lake with some friends. We invited anyone and everyone that wanted to come. There were about 12 all together that chose to spend a few hours enjoying the outdoors. With hotdogs, and puppy dogs, and playing some fetch and then playing some catch, it was definitely a beautiful day!

Koey and I sat down together while we were waiting for the charcoal to get there and we worked a song out together. It was a blessing to have here singing next to me and see her excitement about song writing and learning to play the song on the guitar and share it with everyone.

Azlen got stung by a bee, as is bound to happen to someone when the outdoors is so fresh. And though that was definitely not the highlight of the afternoon, it did give me the chance to really be her mom and comfort my baby girl which I definitely cherish.

I completely enjoyed watching Titus follow Coby (a 6 year old Sheltie) around. It was great training for Titus since Coby is a very obedient dog that does not need a leash to stay close even if a stray dog comes for a sudden visit. Titus, who is about five times smaller than Coby acted like a shadow to Coby and wanted to do EVERYTHING that Coby did. It was precious!

After a few hours everyone kind of dwindled off and Cody and the kids and I were left to take in the rest of the gorgeousness. Cody quickly fell asleep in the car and the kids headed to the playground while I camped out in the middle of the field and listened for the song that God wanted to give to His people. (I'll be working on getting it recorded to share with more folks.)

It was a great day! Exactly the kind I'd wish for if I only had One Month to Live.
