Today is a great day
Today is the day I gave birth to my youngest daughter - happy birthday Amie who is now 23.
I was tagged
1. I was born in Beirut, Lebanon when it was called the Paris of the middle east.
2. My first 20 years of life were spent in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia where I had an idyllic life in a small town like in the movie "Now and Then".
3. When I was 19, my aunt pulled me aside to tell me I was of Jewish descent. That was a no no because my dad worked in an Arab country that does not recognize Israel.
4. When I was 18, I swam in a marathon for 13 straight hours, my legs were like spaghetti and my hair which was to my waist was green and one big knot.
5. My calling early in life was raising a family. I believe because of this we have two beautiful daughters inside and out who also picked amazing husbands and consequently we have an awesome granddaughter and I know more to come from our youngest daughter.
6. The truth of our faith came late in our lives which causes us to want this truth to be foremost in our children's lives and their children. Yahweh is One - the Scriptures and the Ruach Ha Kodesh is our only source through which we look for our knowledge.
7. Late in life we discovered the sea- the life and beauty underneath is spectacular.
8. Good and bad I am extremely organized and could easily be a ceo of a large company.
9. I love to knit - socks, wool covers for my grandbabies cloth diapers.
10. I am a grandmother and look forward to more babies.

We have a personal legend
Many of us struggle with sharing what we know as the truth. We are taught that we are to evangelize, our existence depends on showing the truth to others? Here are some thoughts from the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coehlo.
"When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others others of them, seldom are you believed." " When we know the treasure, we don't need to show it to anyone."
"Anyone who interferes with the personal legend of another, they will never discover their own."
"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better. When we love everything around us it loves."
"No matter what I do on earth I will play a central role in the history of the world and not know it."
The word that comes to mind is humbleness. Yahshua told us to be as children. Those of us just in the beginning of having children - good advice. Keep your children humble and awed by His light. Keep your children free in thought as you can within Yahweh's boundries.
