Jesus, I heard you had a big house

Jesus, I heard you had a big house,
Where I could have a room of my own.
And Jesus, I heard you had a big yard,
Big enough to let a kid roam.

I heard you had clothes in your closet,
Just the right size that I wear,
And Jesus, I heard if I give you my heart,
Then You would let me go there.

Jesus, I heard about meal time,
When all your children come to eat,
I heard you had a great big table
Where every kid can have his own seat.

Jesus, they said there will be plenty,
Of good things in heaven to share,
And Jesus, I'd just like to tell you
I sure would love to go there.

Jesus, I heard in your big house
there's plenty of love to go around.
I heard there's always singing and laughter
To fill the place with happy sounds.

And I've been thinking that a friend
Who would give me all that he's got
Before I even have met Him
Well, He sure must love me a lot.

And Jesus, I'd just like to tell you,
I sure do love you a lot.

We requested that this song by Leanne Womack for her children be played for Michelle.

I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger,
May you never take a single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hop one more opens,
Promise me, that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance . I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains
in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Living might mean taking chances
But they are worth taking,
Loving might be a mistake
But it's worth making,
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider,
Give the heavens above more
Than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance . I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance . I hope you dance

A lot been going on since I last wrote, Don & my youngest son Kenneth 10 moved to Newfoundland to be with the girl & Austin. Kenneth wanted to move with his dad so he could be close to his sisters and his nephew Austin who is now 7 month old. This will be his very first Christmas. Kenneth has been bugging to be with Austin since he was here for a visit in the summer. I didn't have the heart to say no, but am very broken hearted that he didn't want to be with me. We talk every night on the phone or off and on my MSN messenger. The reason I didn't go is because Michael 22 & Patrick 16 are having a hard time right now. Michael is drinking, and is having a hard time with missing his sister Michelle at Christmas time. I felt that I could visit Kenneth in the New Year, but now I'm not sure cause dad has tooken a turn for the worst. Dad was rushed to the hospital on November 28. He had a blockage in his kidney, which he had surgery to fix on November 30. He had been bedridden most of November & it took a turn for the worst the day he was rushed to the hospital. When we went to visit that night after surgery, the nurse informed us dad cancer had spread (dad has prostrate cancer), that they weren't able to totally fix his kidney, and that he would also need kidney dialysis done the next day at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener. The nurse said, this would be ongoing for the rest of dad life. Dad had kidney diaylsis done on the Friday for 2 hrs, and on Saturday for 3 hrs. He was in the hospital til December 14, when they send him home. My Aunt Jean & Uncle Frank brought him home. I am praying he will make it thru Christmas, with out need to go to hospital again. Dad looks much better, but has lost alot of weight, I think dad said he lost over 20 lbs. Dad probably put it back on fast, because since he been out of the hospital mom say you can't seem to fill him, and before you couldn't get him to eat anything. I think this is a good sign. We will be celebrating Christmas at my youngest brother Scott's and his wife to be Mandy house. Mom thought it would be better if one of us kids had the Christmas Dinner this year, with all the problems dad been have. This will be Scott 2nd Christmas at his new house. He just bought it before Christmas last year. We did Secret Santa, and I got Scott. Scott is hard to buy for so I got him a gift card. Patrick got Mandy, and Michael got my sister Kathryn. I end up buying gift cards for them as well cause I couldn't find anything that I want to buy. I always find it hard buying for the family, because they can be so picky at times. The only ones I really like buying for are Mom & Mark. Mom loves horses & Mark loves wolves. So sorry for rambling on, and I want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas or Holiday, and a Very Happy New Year. Will be praying for all your love ones. Thank you to everyone that leave there wonderful messages in Michelle's guestbook, they make me feel so good to know that you all care so much. Hugs & love from Kimberley & family.
