The kids met Val and me at Lanny's in Sanford for breakfast today. We had fun chatting and laughing and eating good food. Only Chris, Mallory, and Brad were missing from the company. It was such a delight to my heart to have my loved ones around the table together. I gave them my "In case we don't make it back..." blessing and instructions about provisions, will, etc., reminding them that the most important thing of all is Jesus Christ. Then we all joined hands, as is our tradition, and prayed, thanking our Heavenly Father for our family and praying the blood of Jesus and warrior angels to protect each one. Of course I cried as I hugged my precious children (boyfriend and fiancee are my kids too). We just never know when a conversation or hug will be our last on earth. Mallory, Brad, and Chris, consider yourselves hugged and cried over! Now Julia and Jacob are going with us to Detroit to drop us off at the Hampton Inn by the airport . Val and I are looking forward to 2 nights there to rest and relax while we wait for news on the storm in the east. Vacation has started!
