The Little Things Matter

By Jay Abington •

About 3 weeks ago I went into a wells Fargo bank to deposit a couple hundred dollars in my daughters account. Jamie sent me a text with her account number on it a few weeks prior so i get out my phone and realize i don't have my glasses so I asked the young lady helping me if she wouldn't mind scrolling back through her text till she found it. She said sure I can have a look. So she is going through them and i am looking at her waiting.

I see her face change and I know why but before I could say a word she holds the phone to her chest and says 'OH MY GOD you must be the most loved dad ever that is simply precious I think I am going to cry as a drop rolls down her cheek.' Another girl comes over to see what is going on and she says 'do you mind?' I said of course not so she shows them to a couple of the other girls. You see guys every single day my Jamie sends me these text messages telling me how much she loves me and all sorts of darling things. One of the girls asks me how old she is and I tell her 21 and a daddy's girl all the way. the original girl says when I get done helping you I am going to text my dad right away. the other two girls are already doing so. Couple weeks go by and I go into the bank and the same girl is working. Well it is my turn and i walk up with a smile thinking she probably wont remember. She says 'hi jay how is the worlds most loved dad doing today.' Get this she tells me that the 4 of them call or text their dads every single day now.

Thanks for your time my friends hope it was worth it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Heartwarming Wedding Registry

When they decided to get married they register for the most selfless thing of all, their 4 children's future education. When Wanda and Charles fell in love in 2008, marriage and family both seemed like distant dreams. They lived in their home state of Florida, and  first came love and then the baby carriage, then more carriages. She became pregnant so quickly, and was not wanting to be pregnant at their wedding. So they welcomed their son Larry in November of 2011. In March of 2013, their brood doubled in size when triplets (natural triplets, without any help to have multiples) Willow, William and Wilson were born, . Since then, there hasn't

been a dull moment for the two , who document their adventures on their Facebook page, who doesn't these days? But, all the pictures they took will fill several albums. So finally, the two of them set their wedding day, a bit backwards with them having their kids first, but they still wanted to be married, even more so these days. When for their wedding, they added special touches to their day with handmade floral arrangements, having their children as the wedding party, and had all the food catered throughout the night, many friends, and lots of family shared their joy with them and the children, Larry now 19 months old and the triplets being just 3 months old. Much like with their wedding, Wanda and Charles had unique ideas about their wedding registry. They were lucky enough to already own a fully-furnished home, so they chose to focus on the most important thing to them - their children's education. "After five years, four kids, and one dog, we felt so blessed already. The two main things they wanted were to provide for our children's future education, and to donate to the non-profit hospital for children, St Judes, a very well

known place for helping children, and so many children they truly did and do help." The couple registered online so that they could create a custom fund where guests could feel comfortable enough to just contribute cash of any amount towards their children's education, or for the children's hospital, which ever they chose. Wanda explained: "We wanted our registry to feel very personal and doing it online where we could fully explain, allowed us to do this, and it also looked great. Being a designer, that was important for me." Married on June 1, 2013, the couple were really getting started on this grand adventure together. "Being married gives us peace of mind and a feeling of security for us as well as the children, that we didn't have before. We know for our children it is important that we are legally married and recognized as a legal family."

Boy did my "path" change for today (Tuesday).. because,
well folks, my computer has fell  'brain dead' yesterday which was Tuesday, and we will have to bury it this time.. it's been a good ole pal... but OH HOW I HATE BREAKING IN ANOTHER ONE! AND GRIEVE NOT ONLY THE COMPUTER, BUT ALL THE THINGS, PICTURES, STORIES, AND SUCH I HAD SAVED ON IT! Lord help me please, I will surely need it as I learn the good and bad points of yet another computer. Yes, thankfully my husband went out and bought me a new computer. And I am sure

eventually we will become friends (I hope and pray).. but like all changes... ugggg! The older I get, the more I learn that I dislike changes, usually!  It's a nice computer, and I appreciate him getting it for me, don't get me wrong, its just change and the loss of so many pictures and information that I hate loosing! So, bare with me please, and say a prayer that I don't pull all my hair out.. Thanks Honey! I do appreciate it! and look forward to "loving it", which I am sure I eventually will...

Praying for you and yours that God will wrap His loving arms around you and bless you spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, and with His unconditional and perfect love, grace, forgiveness, guidance, mercies, and the answer to a special "unspoken prayer" of each of you, which only He can fully know about and have the ability to make it come to pass. Praying for all of those that are sick, hurting, lonely, abused (of any type), the jobless, the homeless, and all those that are grieving, that He will wrap His arms around each of them and grant them the feel of His presence and love, and the blessings that He knows they mostly need. Special prayers for all the children with so many terrible and painful, many fatal diseases, that he will bless them, grant them mercy please Lord, and help them and their parents in ways only You can do. We thank You Lord in advance, and know that You too especially love children. Praying too for our soldiers, and that You will keep them safe from all harm, both on our soil and overseas, and bring those 'over there' home safely and quickly to loving families, due respect for their service, and an abundance of jobs. Praying too for our country, that You will lead all the people to You as well as the leaders, and help them to do for our country and people what Your will would have them do. AND AS ALWAYS, GIVING YOU OUR LOVE, THANKS, HONOR, PRAISE AND GLORY IN JESUS HOLY NAME, AMEN.
