Tribute to my Mom


This is my tribute to my Mommy for Mother's Day.
My Mom is an amazing person.
She is the poet in our family. She has written many beautiful poems. This poem is my first, although I wanted to write it special for my Mom. She means the world to me. I wanted to share a poem about my feelings of a very special person in my life, and my Mom's life. It's a poem about our Savior and King.
This is my way of sharing my feelings of Mom.

MY PEACE

"My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you",
These words in my heart, I hear loud and true, But do I do what I should do?
Many times I get caught in this dark and dreary place,
In my mind His promise, did I erase?
Why didn't I notice His outstreched hand?
His footsteps beside mine in the sand?
Do I have to see Him to believe He is there?
For my sins He did ransome, all things He did bear,
For you and I His blood He did shed,
Though my love for Him is still left unsaid,
Lord please forgive me, because I did not notice thee,
Now my eyes are open, and finally my Savior I do see,
Thy light shines all around me, I feel thy love and grace,
My Lord help me to live that I may feel thy sweet embrace.
I'll wait patiently until the day of Thy return,
Lord help me be like thee, a place with thee I might earn,
My Lord and King, upon thy throne it is thee I will adore,
My Family may I treasure with thee, Lord forever more.

Mom;
I love love you more than words can express. Thank you for all you sacrifice and have sacrificed for me. Thank you for showing me how to love, how to live. I love you endlessly.
Eternally Yours;
Annette

Dad Sommer's 80th Birthday


Today marks the 80th Birthday of Dad Sommer. Yesterday the kids all got together in Idaho to have a wonderful Birthday celebration lunch together with Dad, complete with the ever-fitting brick mason's cake.
Jack mentioned he felt all the kids and their Dad became closer than ever. Tender sentiments were expressed by each child to their Dad. Jack mentioned when Dad spoke of his feelings for the kids they were all touched and felt closer as a family.

We are so very thankful for his example, love and devotion. He is a wonderful father and we couldn't feel more blessed. Thank you Dad for all you do for us. We love You endlessly.
