Grandpa's Lake

Lately I found an song, "Sing Together" by Train a song that reminds me of my Grandpa. The song has a upbeat tempo that talks about meeting people through out their life and letting them know how felt about them. Most likely, Grandpa would probably not have liked the song. But, I know he wouldn't want us to worry about anything and be grateful for the time we had together. Also, it reminds me at a young age to live every day as it counts. Being a person that God wants me to be. Kind, caring, loving, funny, artistic  smart and etc. Showing people the I love them and that God loves them as well. Also, the people in my life would know that I deeply care for them and they are one in a million in my eyes. 

Here are more pictures I took this last Labor weekend at My Grandpa's Lake.

I hope you enjoy. 

"Sing Together" ~ Train

If I go before I say to everyone in my ballet

Let me take this chance to thank you for the dance

If I run out of songs to sing to take your mind off everything

Just smile, sit a while with the

Sun on your face and remember the place we met

Take a breath and soon I bet you'll see

Without you I would never be me

You are the leaves of my family tree

Sing together

If you knew me from the very start,

Or we met last week at the grocery mart

Just sing together

It's the least that I can do

My final gift to you

Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo

When I'm past the pearly gate, I will find some real estate

Where we can settle down and watch the world go round

We'll send down all the love we got and let them know we got a spot

For them to be and it's all free,

The sun on your face and remember the place we met

Take a breath and soon I bet you'll see

Without you I would never be me

You are the leaves of my family tree

Sing together

If you knew me from the very start,

Or not at all you're still a part, just

Sing together

It's the least that I can do

My final gift to you

Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo

Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo

The Beauty of Bovey

We should feel blessed that we get another year to start fresh. To make new decisions and path for ourselves in the right direction. I feel blessed that I have a Saviour who died for me. Family and friends who will always love me dearly. Also, I have much that I don't need. We should cherish the things we have and the people placed in our lives. 

I am thankful for many things. 

One thing that I cherish is that these pictures are the last and only of my grandpa's garden in Bovey. I will always remembers the fun times we spent as a family. My grandpa died suddenly this last December. I am thankful that he loved me and my family in everything he did. I am thankful that the Lord brought my family together to grieve and friends who pray for healing. One thing he didn't like, funny enough, was receiving hugs. For some reason, he never liked them. I have learned that a hug of kindness will go a long way.

I hope these beautiful pictures help you and teach you to be truly grateful for new year and the life the Lord has given you. You are special and have a wonderful purpose in your life.

Make each day count.

I hope you enjoy my grandpa's garden.

love always, Vanessa
