Family

I have accepted a position with ResCare, 

a home health agency that provides care 

for the homebound client.

I will be a direct care provider. 

It's taken me a few weeks to accept the position  

after training, orientation, and

considering other jobs in retail.

.

Basically, I will be a companion.

I will do light housekeeping, transport 

the client to appointments,

assist with shopping needs, etc.

My first client is a sweet little lady

who lives alone in a very nice house

and needs very little care. 

I just know that I love people.

I love to serve people.

Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's not.

But, I can't let fear of what might be 

keep me from using the gift that God has given me. 

Okay, let's see if those photos will load.

This is my silly, 13 year old niece.

Yes, a typical 13 year old.

This is her crazy mom, my sister. 

It looks like they are having a serious moment. 

Nope!  Sarah turned away from the camera.

No more pictures!

She will always have my heart, my little girl.

She was more than upset when we moved. 

She's asked me more times that I can't count, 

"Aunt Bonnie, do you love me now as much as you did."

Getting in the paddle boats was a trip!

She was screaming and I was laughing.

The guys were fishing and I waved across the lake.

She's like, 

"Aunt Bonnie, you are embarresing me.

You are just like my mom!"

They stopped fishing before we stopped paddling. 

We had a blast!

Look who's hiding. 

She's a straight mess, but a pure delight and joy!

Well, that is when she's not being moody.

She had me all to herself this weekend so she was happy.

I miss my brother and his family.

It's been too long and I pray daily for reconciliation.

I'm realizing my part in the distance. 

I am asking God to give me an opportunity to make things right.

Although, there were words harshly spoiken on both sides, 

I feel that it is I who needs to extend the olive branch.

Hope you enjoyed my trip as much as we did.

Bonnie:)
