A NEW VENTURE

When my Mom's come together, we all find a common bond, as we gather together. We have noticed that more people tend to dwell on how the Mother is handling it and how "she" is taking everything .As Mothers, we are always concerned with how our husband's and family members are coping in this horrible storm. The husbands are our nights in shining armor, that have fixed everything and been able to solve every problem for us, and yet this was one problem, that they weren't able to fix, so it was imperative to all of us to help them, in their journey through this time, to find the healing that we have.
This is one of the reasons, we decided to try and come together as a family unit and spend time together doing what we do on our beach weekends, in the hopes that it will help in the healing process as a family unit too.
We have watched Dennis Swannberg, and Ken Davis DVD's, that have helped us laugh, and in the process, heal!
We found a wonderful DVD called "Stone Soup", that describes the grieving process, perfectly!
We spend time walking on the beach, and sharing our thoughts; personal stories with one another, and watching the sunset!.
We discovered that you don't need a beach or a sunset to heal, or even a DVD, but that this helped us get started!
We learned that by opening up to each other and making ourselves available and vulnerable, God would use us, and He did!
We wanted to honor our children without airing dirty laundry, and we wanted to glorify God in the process, so we established a set of rules based on Christian principles and common sense.
We allow the Holy Spirit to lead us, and when do, we can't go wrong!
When you open the door to come into the beach house, you enter as a stranger, but by the time you cross the room, you are family, and that's the way we would like this new venture to be too, with God's help!
A family in need of healing and being put back together again, by the Grace of God!
