"The Bread of Life"

Think about it, "The Bread of Life"!! We eat some source of food every day to give us energy to live within our human bodies. But God gave us the true bread of life....... that which sustains us in our true life, our EVERLASTING life. What a gift!!

Daryn was on my mind this morning as we sang this song. I am so thankful that Daryn chose Jesus for her "bread"!!

"I AM the Bread of Life"

I am the bread of life
He who comes to Me shall not hunger
He who believes in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father draw him

And I will raise him up
And I will raise him up
And I will raise him up on the last day

The bread that I will give
Is My flesh for the life of the world
And he who eats of this bread
He shall live for ever
He shall live for ever

Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His blood
And drink of His blood
You shall not have life within you

I am the resurrection
I am the life
He who believes in Me
Even if he die
He shall live for ever

Just the other day I was picking up a piece of paper from Kaila's bedroom floor. I opened it to read on one side:

"Daryn"
Daryn is my cusin
I Love her

and then I turned it over and it says:

"family, Love, care, and hrt"

Sometimes my daughter helps me understand things in her 7 year old mind that I just don't understand. Hurt (or "hrt") is in the same sentence as family, Love, and care.............. You can't have one without the other. We still think about and talk about Daryn often, and always will. We will never forget her sweet, somewhat timid smile!!

As the Mills/Busman family loses their 11 year old daughter/granddaughter/niece/cousin to bacterial meningitis............. I can't help but feel a very heavy heart for them and their loss. It is so painful. Through this pain and with this pain, it is evident that Faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior gives us Hope. As Daryn loved and knew Jesus, I read in Mackenzie's obituary that she too, gave her profession of Faith just this year.

As Jesus said, My Peace I leave you My Peace I give you, what a blessing to be left with PEACE in our hearts. If you haven't already found it, please find the PEACE in your heart, it is there!! With a closer relationship with God you will find it and it WILL give you REST.

July 4, 2009

July 4 2009, how could it be here and gone already. The last time that Daryn watched the fire works over Bitely lake was July 4, 2007. They were truly spetacular that year. We were all so thrilled with the display. I remember it like it was a second ago. I see her smile. I remember I wanted to make sure we saw them good so we all (Joe and Kim, Daryn, Colin, Jolee, grandpa and me) we climbed on the paddle boat, almost sinking it, and there we watched them ,wow. I so many times think that if I had only known that would be the last time. I think that but I know I could not have known and remained sane. Ironically, last year there were no fireworks at all! I think that the display of 2007 was just for Daryn. God how I miss her. This year Jim, Mindy and Kaila and Caden joined us at the lake. We did have fun and yes there was some fireworks. Bitter sweet always bittersweet. I thank God for Daryn's cousins. They all love her so and will always carry her with them. They are precious, family is precious. And so we all go on. For me, grandma it is all inside but I make myself carry on and I do have joy but my dear God I miss her so and love her so, it never really goes away, it just gets covered up for a time. So I love up and enjoy my family and pray that we will never go through this again. A grandmas heart.

A beautiful day today and I find myself thinking about Daryn, the beautiful blue sky....... Daryn always loved blue! Kaila tells me that her favorite color is blue, because her cousin likes blue. I noticed , going through Kaila's papers she brought home from school this year that she took some time to draw a dragonfly on the back of many of her schoolwork papers (I am sure that Kaila rushed through her school work so she could get to the dragonflies!). When we see dragonflies we always think of Daryn. She is in our hearts always and forever.

The Daryn Renee' Worpel Scholarship was established over the last few months. It was a difficult thing to do. I am comforted knowing that the money raised will be used to help students attend college and that the scholarship will go on and on and on............... After we are all gone, Daryn's scholarship will still benefit local students. So once again thank you all so very much for your donations, it will do good for this community for a very long time!

Addison Road, "Hope Now"

Click here to listen to the song

HOPE NOW/Addison Road

If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours

(PRE-CHORUS)
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
(Repeat 2x)

(CHORUS 2)
You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free

This song is great, listen to it!! Everytime I hear it I think of Daryn, her parents, her siblings, because truly EVERYTHING rides on FAITH and HOPE for them.

HAPPY EASTER!
HE IS RISEN!!

.........because we ALL need some HOPE in this world!!!!!!!!

i hope you dance

The human brain can only hold so many memories. So we pick up little pieces of memories
in certain enviroments. So on Daryn's birthday I got a lot of flash backs with her and me.
But the one that stuck with me the most was when I went over to her house for the night
and she had a book and c.d. that had the lyrics to "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
And while I was over we read and sang that song over and over again and so today I heard that song and it was a gift to me on her birthday. Thank you and Happy Birthday DARYN.

This is the song:
