Dear Susan, Jordan and Family
Love the Christmas pictures! Jordan is as handsome as ever! and your grandchildren are beautiful. I understand about this picture being no easy task as Scotty's this year took quite the effort. He was cracking up for a full 1/2 before seeing Santa and for the rest of the day afterwards....but would not crack a smile with Santa..I think Santa was getting a little bored as you can see in the picture. lol You know you mentioned the picture of Laura's boys which is beautiful but in Scotty's santa picture do you know all the clothes he is wearing are their hand me downs! how funny is that!
Well have a great Christmas Susan and Jordan... we are blessed that we have you in our lives.
Hugs and Much Love

We huddle by the fire on this bitter cold night,
Enjoying hot cocoa by the warm fire light.
While the smells of a feast fill this rickety old shack,
Icy winds whistle as they dance through the cracks.
Surrounded with blankets, sweet carols we sing,
Happily awaiting what this Christmas will bring.
You won't find any presents 'neath our skimpy tree.
Ornaments are hand-made and so is our wreath.
Under limp mistletoe, mom gives dad a kiss,
Atmosphere of joy and love
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Everyone here at our house is thinking of you.
Remember Christ loves you, no matter your worth.
Revel in the illuminating joy of His birth.
Your love is the only gift He'll ever ask.
Celebrate His life and in His light you'll bask.
Holiday giving and the spread of good cheer,
Really is something we could keep up all year.
Imagine a world where it was Christmas each day,
Sounds hard to do, but it could be that way.
This is our Christmas wish for all of you tonight--
May His warmth surround you like a blanket of light.
All your wishes be granted with His blessings of love,
Sent special delivery from the Angels above.

Dear Susan,
Merry Christmas to a very special friend and her beautiful family. I know your holidays will be busy, but also filled with so much love. I just don't know how you do it all Susan. God made you very special and he shared you with us!
I'm back from a wonderful vacation on the high seas, and trying to get in to the holiday spirit now. Like you wrote, Christmas is hard for those of us missing our child. I know that Timmy will be celebrating the most wonderful Christmas of all in Heaven.
Thank you for always remembering me and checking in on Caringbridge. Know that time may go by that you don't hear from me, but you and Jordan are never forgotten.
Merry Christmas Amato Family,
With Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Happy Hectic Holiday Season to all the Amato's: I have a funny feeling that Jordan isn't the only member of the family busy with the holidays - he just may be on the other side of the consumer spirit though. I am sure his friendly smile and helpful ways are appreciated by all his loyal Wal-Mart Shoppers. I do hope that during his breaks he has compiled a little hint list for under the tree:)
Susan, I forgot to ask you - are Neil and I the only ones that thought you looked so very much (of course you are younger, prettier and sweeter) like the Las Vegas judge on the O.J trial? I saw it immediately, Neil thought she looked "familiar" and when I mentioned you - it clicked!
Enjoy all the perks of a big, loving, happy holiday and our love and BESTEST wishes for All the Amato's for a Healthy - Hurricane FREE 2009! XX00-Love, randy & the "boys"

It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.
Instead of waiting until next year to be reminded,
Let's make every day one of thanksgiving;
After all, each day is a unique gift.
So, give a hug for no reason;
Say I love you, just because;
Share a smile with a stranger;
Take the time to count your blessings;
Don't take anything or anyone for granted;
And end each day with no regrets.
Thank you, my friends and family,
For sharing, caring, laughing and crying with me.
I'm truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life
And I am thankful you have allowed me
To be a part of yours.
May you and yours have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving.

I can't believe Jordan got to mingle with all those NASCAR drivers! I am thrilled that you got to spend time with the people you treasure. I know this must lift your spirits, and give you strength physically and spiritually.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Really just wanted you to know that I am thinking about both of you, hoping that your trip to St. Jude is sprinkled with lots of fun and that the "medical stuff" is just an inconvenience to socializing:). Jordan might have to exercise a little patience with Mom this trip as her Grammy Brag Book has grown and Cole is making his St. Jude debut via photo ops I am sure. XXOO

Typing up a sermon for my husband and he included this passage. What comfort these words give! Instead of worrying I'll be praying!!!!!!!!!!
1 Peter 2:22-24 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Hi Jordan,
I loved being at your birthday party and being a part of your happy group. You are a very important person to Jim and I (Hannah and Mekell too) and we just love being able to honor you on your special day. You are a sweetheart and I'll be praying for you next week when you head back up to Memphis.
love you

Hi - It's Wednesday and I am right on time - "worry" is all in place - although let's just call it more of a habit and a ritual than a true concern. I am counting on your trip being your normal "social" event with your calendar filled with catching up with friends/favorite St. Jude staff, wardrobe changes, and just squeezing in the medical aspect of the get away/bonding!
Belated Happy Birthday Jordan too - sure looks like you were truly the man of the hour. Mom has to give us advance notice - I vaguely remember the October part from last year & it being Zach and Brent's b'day too - but I am NOT the number cruncher in my house - so next year - guess an October b'day shout out is in order. The birthday hat was very flattering and added to the tone of the celebration....and just how many candles did you have to huff and puff to blow out this year? Shhh - here is a secret - the more candles - the bigger the cake!
Well, you both are busy so, All Good Wishes for your CHECK-IN (versus check-up) at St. Jude and share a thumbs up status report ASAP:) XXOO
P.S. for Susan - You couldn't possibly ever hurt my feelings, I am way tougher than that and you know the "old" expression - "don't give it if you can't take it" story....but - I am sometimes glad we dont' live closer as I never have good hair days and all that eating while celebrating - seems fattening especially -- since you are always prepared with your trusty camera capturing everything (like those extra pounds from the camera) - now that could be an issue:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday....
Bad news...I'm not going to be able to stop by and sign in as often as I have. My husband has requested that I spend less time on the computer. I've been sending out an email daily with selected Scripture passages. If you'd like me to add you to the list just let me know at prayingprayerbear@gmail.com. If you ever want off the list, just let me know. This doesn't mean I'll pray any less. Will always be praying!
Psalms 18:1-3a I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised...

Hey Jordan..
WOW! It's been forever since I've stopped by. Had a huge, huge computer crash and lost everything, then got a notice from Prayer Bears that tomorrow is your birthday, and was happy that I had your link again. But the link didn't work, so then I got to thinking....(sometimes a dangerous thing) and scrolled back through Rodney's guestbook for an old link of yours and YAY!!! I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner. It also helped me to find Danny and Kris's link again too. So I'm on my way over there, after I leave here!
I will do some serious catch up reading over the weekend. In the mean time, have a wonderful birthday!

Hi Susan - was just hoping that you were finally back from what appears to be "Grammy Maternity Leave"....I also think Jordan and you were due for a road trip soon - need some specific time to "worry" and time to "celebrate" directives. And, while I am being so bossy - might as well ask where are the new pictures? I find if VERY hard to believe that Baby Boy Cole is getting that stereo type "sloppy seconds" attitude or worse yet "lost in the crowd". Only teasing & thinking about all of you. And one other pushy comment from me tonight - Jordan's fashion reputation preceeds him, however, he ALWAYS seems to WEAR the best smiles when he is with either his nieces or his nephew. I really don't think it is my imagination - I think "family" is Jordan's secret fashion accessory:)- XXOO

We were talking about hurricane names today, and how some get "retired", like Katrina. Genna says (from the back seat of the car), "You know what is So Amazing About Katrina? That Jordan's House Survived! And his brother, he saves people, (deep sigh) that is a Very Important Job"...she kind of gushed the whole thing, out of nowhere, and it was funny to me that out of the blue you are what she thinks of when remembering that storm...
Which in turn brought me here tonight to say Hello! and congrats on the new little guy!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But he's just a little guy. Barely weighs as much as my smallest! Tell Kristin congratulations for me! She's such an amazing person. The Lord really blessed your family with her!
I use this passage quite often because of it's profound impact. Some of the first words of Scripture ever written assure us of our bodily resurrection in Christ.
Am here praying right now.
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

HUGE - SINCERE - EXCITED - CONGRATULATIONS/MAZEL TOV - WELCOME....All the Amato's look wonderful in BLUE. Apparently Jordan had lots of practice snugglng his nieces, because he looks like a natural with his new nephew. Since you are always so patient with my comments, let me just add that Kristin looks more like she spent a day at the spa than giving birth - I do hope she feels as well and as happy as she looks, Susan you are the youngest, prettiest grandmother AND you have great techy skills to get your show and tell up and running so quickly, King Cole better get psyched for football season as I do believe that his sisters might have a tug of war or a tackle time or two over the "prize" and Rick and Jason - you both glow PROUD! And obviously Cole is wise beyond his days as he timed his arrival when he gets all the attention and not some stupid force of weather:0)...XXOO to all.....Randy and the "boys"

Hi all...Do you realize that in my small pin head sized mind Louisana = Amato's (only - apologies in advance to your friends and neighbors)? Everytime the news people mention LA, I worry about you guys - like you are the entire state or something??? Anyway, the next BIG news we are all expecting is the welcome and anticipated arrival of "King" Cole! He better be a tough little cookie with all the ladies that will be wanting some snuggling time - and I also assume he will inherit his Uncle Jordan's flare for fashion. Thinking of all of you and hoping that the rennovations are taking a back seat to all the good things coming your way! You focus on Priorities and Perspective -I will stick to my talent and continue to worry:)... XXOO

Oh my goodness! We have been so busy up here cleaning up after our evacuees left, that I had not had time to check my computer. I am praising God for all the Amato family's safety during the hurricane.
I have been earnestly praying since I heard on Weather Channel about Ike, that it will not come near Baton Rouge! To be exact, I have been praying for wind gusts no more than 20 mi hour at max! I always like to be specific in prayers when I see an exact need.
Susan, what stage of repair are you guys at right now? I can imagine that getting a repair crew to your house is almost impossible since so many home got such bad dammage in Baton Rouge. Our friend, Heather Bridges Bush, who grew up here in Bastrop, and who is now a professional photographer in BR, sent us a slide show of houses in my James and Stephanie's old neighborhood. It was unbelievable. In about 12 pics I counted over 25 huge trees down, many on houses or autos.
I still have not heard much on TV about the devastation in Baton Rouge! Shame on the media.
Love you guys. Praying daily for you all.

Hi - me again. Do you think I give the word "nudge" new meaning? Trust me - my family does:)...But, I was glad I checked back as Kristin's verbal was enhanced by a Susan visual. What a team you two make!
The obvious comment is how grateful we all are that everyone is safe and just inconvenienced in the big picture. Leave it to you Susan to state all the positive spins instead of complaining. I know that it is important to be prepared, but honestly the weather updates so far in advance are so unnerving - and hard to know when and what to ignor/minimize or in my case OVER react to.
It truly was amazing how you met just the right neighbors at just the right time - like really how helpful would an accountant like Neil be when the roof is falling in? Obviously, I am babbling out of delight that you are back in communicado - I know you have some pampering to do for Kristin and get all your "blue" for Cole organized - not to mention catch up granddaughter snuggling. Somehow a few extra days without your Princess' must have been just as much torture as electricity depreviation!
Still counting on Cole for cooperating and waiting for daddy for that "boy bonding" up to the very first minute opportunity.
As always, love and good thoughts that you fast forward into happy Amato hectic. XXOO

Dear Amato's - Kristin you are wonderful - not only did you update us - with a PROGRESS report - but you managed to slip in new baby boy's name. I don't think I ever heard before that baby boy Amato was to be named Cole. I almost said, what a pretty name - but caught myself - and instead just say ahhhh - can't wait for Cole to arrive healthy, happy, have daddy local and Amato headquarters (not to mention the loving grandparents) back in comfort and in basic "luxury" which are things that are taken for granted until....mother nature gets in the way! Cole needs to make his entrance in style - after all he is going to be busy giving his sisters turns as the new favorite novelty to practice sharing over:)
Also had a thought - hope Jordan didn't suffer any wardrobe mal-functions due to storm issues - mom and dad have their hands full without electricity - wouldn't want wardrobe replacement issues to be on Susan's "to do" priority list with/for Jordan too:) Seriously, I know Jordan loves being with you - but I hope all the turmoil wasn't too upsetting for him. The girls are a great distraction for Jordan being away from home so long, and I am just betting in Jason's absence Jordan is an amazing help to his very pregnant sister-in-law.
Thinking good thoughts and hoping for ASAP repairs and a quick return to hectic but happy "normal". XXOO

Hi - well sure was glad to get an update on the Amato's. I had hoped that your "inconveniences" were even less than Kristin had reported based on the information we received via our news reports. Well, glad Rick was able to be with you, glad that Jordan is able to be with Kristin and the girls, hoping that your power comes back soon & that the wait for gas wasn't as long as predicted, glad the baby has decided to wait a bit longer and arrive under more relaxed terms, ummmm how about ETC... that things start turning around and are back to "normal hectic", climate controlled soon.

Hope you're having a good Labor Day weekend!
It's Sunday and once again we read an amazing passage at church. Going to share the first few verses because they really hit home. Praying right now!
Psalms 86:1-7 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Dear Susan and rest of the Amato family. We are certainly agreeing with you in prayer for safety during this storm.
Of course God has already taught me some things using this hurricane. Susan, as you know, our James and Stephanie were living in BR during 2005, so they rode out both storms.
After James finished grad school at LSU, they moved to
Saint Louis MO. I have been having a private pity party ever since. It is a nine hour drive from Bastrop to St. Louis. Well, the last time we drove it, I asked God to show me one thing good about this move they have made.
I got my answer a few days ago. No hurricanes!
Back to serious business, we are praying for all of your family's physical safety, your property, your utilities, and for calmness for all, specially the little ones.
Really praying hard for you all. Love in the name above all names, Jesus.

Hello, Susan & Jordan!
It's been a LONG time since I've signed in here.. (SO SORRY) =-)
Jordan, I'm SO BLESSED to hear that your trip went well and am so PROUD of YOU for going off by yourself and staying gone so long! I know your Mom missed you, but WOW, that's such a NEAT trip!
Susan, I hope to join you again (regularly) updating our caringbridge site and my blog. Things have slowed down a lot since school started and the garden has slowed down. (YIPPEE!) Don't get me wrong, the fresh veggies were a blessing, but when it came time to "put them up," well, it became a HUGE CHORE!
Okay, keep us updated on the grands and the new arrival that we're all waiting anxiously for?
I'll talk with you soon..
LOVE & MISS YOU ALL!

Psalms 121:1-8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Thanks for the update! Great pics! Glad things are going so well there!
No matter what life brings, no matter how dark it gets, we always have hope in the Lord! Praying!
Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Hi - What a great update - any time you report in that Jordan is doing and feeling well is BIG cause for smiley face inserts. WONDERFUL - TERRIFIC NEWS!!!
It would be interesting to see just how much Jordan packed - wardrobe wise - for his trip as he just loves sporting his NUMEROUS fashion finds. We do wish him a safe and wonderful trip to Arizona.
Jarred will be going to Italy on the 14th with his colleges basketball team - he is stressing a bit on what to pack himself - not as much as Jordan regarding the fasion statement as it is easy to just wear "team" stuff - but trying to squeeze too much stuff into too little a bag and too little time to do all that he hopes to do!
Glad you and Rick were able to celebrate your milestone anniversary. It is nice that you were able to get in some private relaxed time before the hussle of school starts for your "baby" as well as all the other family/friend whirlwind of activities that keep you incredibly busy - always. Guess with Jordan away you will get just a quick glimpse of empty nesting - or not if you are entertaining (or being entertained) by your Princess'. In any case, nice to have heard from you.......XXOO-Love, me

Hymns have been going through my head all day for some reason. This one is long so I'm only doing the first half but oh it's special. Continuing to pray so very hard!
1. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!
2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou, who changest not, abide with me!
3. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
4. Come not in terror, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Dear Susan and Jordan. Tears came to my eyes when I read about Jordan's sweet note. It made me soooo homesick for my sons (one in Jackson MS, the younger in St. Louis MO)!!
Jordan's heart is so precious and loving. I am so happy you caught the medical problem and he got his meds adjusted.
I am sorry that I have not entered in this guestbook lately, but Jordan is in my thoughts and prayers every day!
We are in the beginning of a much overdue remodel of our house! I am still packing away most of all the "stuff" that we have in the living area of the house. Paper plates are every day now! Soon I will not be able to use the kitchen (OH how sad!! Ha ha). We have no idea how long this will take, but I am sure it will be a couple of months till we are able to unpack.
Wishing I had our James and Stephanie still in Baton Rouge so I could come down to see them and have a lunch date with Susan and Jordan at Chilis!!! Jordan you are a super guy!
Love you.

Well yes you got thrown a curve, but what a blessing that you noticed the water consumption right away and got him to the dr so it could be dealt with! Thank you, Lord!
Know that I'm here praying!
Psalms 34:17-19 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Hi Jordan - Your words of wisdom were SURE to make mom feel better. How very right you are - your mom is so special. The FACT that you recognize that and appreciate mom so much makes you a VERY lucky son and an amazing one too. Apparently cyber shopping makes you wise AND so warm and loving too - LOL!
Sorry you are having trouble with your medicine juggling - but leave it to your clever mom to notice and immediately work on the "fix". Guess mom knows that everyone needs you at your best for all of your Uncle duties. Sending a big feel better to all of you in LA

Thank you dear Susan for the wonderful words of comfort and encouragement in Lisa's GB. It is just what I needed this evening after the VERY long day I had.
Praying for all of your needs, especially precious Jordan! I am so happy you thought to have him checked and the medications have been adjusted. It just goes to show we trust God so completely for the healing, that we are often surprised when something crops up!
I LOVE the computer story, Jordan is priceless! It is CLEAR where he gets his generous heart and wonderful ways, he has had incredible role model!
Thank you for being such a great source of comfort!

Dear sweet Jordan and Susan,
I keep coming by to leave a message and always seem to run out of time! I LOVED the July fourth celebration pictures, what a BEAUTIFUL family you have! The pictures are always so wonderful and happy. I long for a close family like that, for people who WANT to be in our lives. Your children are so BLESSED to have such strong Heads of their extended family. Those grandbabies are incredibly fortunate to have a grandmama who wants to be such an active part of their lives. I am so happy God has smiled on you all in such a special way!
Susan, I know you are busy; but, I appreciate all of the prayers and cheer you give to us so freely! Thank you for being such a source of support these past years!

Hi - I just KNEW you would keep your promise and update with pictures as soon as you had a nano second. How often do you hear that Kristin looks more like your daughter - than a daughter-in-law? Obviously from the pictures, complete with a Jordan smile, 4th of July was yet another successful, happy, fun filled family holiday for the Amato's. Do hope Jordan is feeling better....he is long overdue for a "vacation" from ANY medical issues:)!

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
3. His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

Hello Jordan and Susan. Sorry I have been so negligent about signing in. Harold gave me the okay, so I have begun a renovation at our home (twenty years old this year) which was certainly needing it. Right now the walls in half the rooms are down to dry wall and needing floating out and sanding. Painting and flooring to come soon, I hope. Okay, excuses over.
Looks like from the posts that everyone is doing very well. Jordan, your look so handsome in your pictures, as do all the brothers and those precious, beautiful little girls, WOW! What a good looking family.
Jordan, I pray for you every day, young man, so you can count on Mrs. Fay. Next time I come to Baton Rouge, we must go out to Chilis again; okay?
Hope your Independence Day is fun, fun ,fun!!!

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

God, open my eyes so I may see
And feel Your presence close to me ...
Give me strength for my stumbling feet
As I battle the crowd on life's busy street,
And widen the vision of my unseeing eyes
So in passing faces I'll recognize
Not just a stranger, unloved and unknown,
But a friend with a heart that is much like my own ...
Give me perception to make me aware
That scattered profusely on life's thoroughfare
Are the best gifts of God that we daily pass by
As we look at the world with an unseeing eye.

Praying you have a BEAUTIFUL Father's Day full of Love and Family and I feel CERTAIN that is just the way the day will be spent! I can picture all of the wonderful photos you will share with us all!
Susan, I was SO HAPPY to read that your TMJ is better, that is such wonderful news! Now if Jordan's hands would improve maybe life could be pain and discomfort free for awhile!
We have seen the Movie "Something the Lord made". I cry every time I watch it! These two men pioneered what ultimately would be the beginnings of modern medicine that would save Lisa's life! The language is a bit dicey in places (we actually gave our parents this movie for Christmas this past year and I put a little note inside apologizing for the language :o)

Im glad the creams are helping Jordan's hands a little! I wish it were completely healed! That sounds so painful! Hoping and praying that his hands are doing much better very very soon!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

We read this in church this morning. The whole chapter is so special. Praying right now.
Psalms 130:1-8 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Praying that the next time you update Susan that you tell us that Jordan's hands are completely healed and that you are TMJ pain free! I am so encouraged to read that Nick is improving and it was the BEST news to know Logan is home and feeling so much better as well!
I am so happy Jordan is doing so well at his job, I remember when he started. They are so fortunate to have him!
Oh how I wish I could get You Tube to play on my computer, I would LOVE to see the video!
Stopping in to say I hope your weekend is special and not too hot (They expect 100 degree weather here tomorrow, yikes!)
Always praying for you dear friends, even when I don't stop to say hello!

Hi Jordan and Susan
Thank you so much for the update! Glad to hear everything
is going so well. Sorry to hear about Miss Robin..i'll
keep her in my prayers. I absolutely loved your wedding
Anniversary video! You looked so beautiful! Thank you
so much for sharing it. You are becoming quite computer
savvy. I couldn't even figure out how to leave a comment
on your blog! I think I have to sign up to do that????
I will have to look again at that in the morning
when my mind is nice and fresh.
OMG AND A NEW BABY BOY GRANDSON IS ON THE WAY! How
exciting for all of you. I can't wait.

Oh wise and knowing Susan - you "busted" me. LOL As soon as I got your personal email claiming you "needed a laugh" I quick jumped to Jordan's site - hoping that all is well. This time YOU made me chuckle! Falls under the label - "gottcha" for sure:)
So happy that Jordan is doing so well, with the exception of (in the big picture) some "issues". But I do especially appreciate how difficult (in a mom's heart level anyway) how it must hurt and concern Jordan when his friends are deep in the fight. So much to absorb!! So sorry yet another personal friend and co/worker no less is further having to battle.
It is GREAT how well Jordan does at work - it is always important to be surrounded by friends, feel the personal satisfaction of accomplishing your task, make some extra $$'s for his fancy/schmancy wardrobe (although not sure he works THAT many hours for THAT much $$), and especially in Jordan's case to feel the personal pride, responsibility and independence - all the while sharing his sweetness.
It does require repeating, You are a beautiful bride and Rick a most handsome and deserving spouse. Through your eyes of love, it is easy to "see" that you have brought so much happiness to each other and everyone whose lives you continue to touch. Your sparkling eyes can obviously see right through me and sidetracked a "worry". As always, Susan, thanks for sharing XXOO

Dear Susan,
Hello my wonderful friend! I have not dropped off the face of the earth...just been so very busy, and a bit overwhelmed.
Oh your Mother's Day looked so special. Your girls love you...you can see their love shine brightly in their eyes.
I loved your devotional about "Ripples". It is so true that we all have an effect on each others lives...in different ways...and sometimes we are not even aware of it. I needed to be reminded of that. I loved seeing the name Timothy at the bottom of the verse!
So sorry about Jordan's horrible eczema. I am sure he must be miserable. I hope that he gets some relief soon.
Please know that I think of you and Jordan every day. Thank you for staying in touch on Timmy's website.
I miss you!
With Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Hymn to a Good Wife
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
~Proverbs 31:10-31 (NIV)

Dear Susan,
I am sitting here in a hotel room in Conneticut thinking about you. I am thinking about all the special mom's that I have come to know through Caringbridge. Soon it will be Mother's Day. I have learned so much about being a mom these last few years. I have have gained strength, faith and wonderful friendships from many, but especially from you. You have changed my life in so many good ways. I want to wish you the most blessed Mother's Day with all the men in your life. I know they will cherish you tomorrow.
My Andrew gets his Master's Degree tomorrow. I am so proud. These are the times that it is wonderful to be a mom. This special day helps take my mind off what is missing in my life...but forever in my heart.
Thank you for continuing to be there for me.

My dearest Susan, I almost spelled your name with an M at the end again! The m and n are worn off of my keyboard and I admit I am a hunt and peck kind of girl! That is why I became a nurse and didn't work in an office :o)...Not really, but it sounds good...
I really DO relate to the TMJ. I have been relieved of most of the pain these past few years, but there was a horrible time when it plagued me for years and I can remember the agony and not being able to open my mouth, because my jaw was frozen up. I am SO happy you didn't require a root canal!! I will say my ENDO is incredible and when I had my root canal, it was simply amazing how pain free it was. I also relate to opening my mouth though...the dentists and hygienists always comment on how small my mouth is, which makes everyone who knows me laugh, because I love to talk!
I LOVED the devotional, I had seen that before, but it has been awhile. It is so powerful to show how strong a Mother's love is!! I also loved the photos of Jordan holding the Relay for Life luminaries!
I pray that you have a beautiful weekend, full of many expression of love and NO PAIN. With such a wonderful family, I know that will NOT be a problem!!!
I Thank God for bringing such a woman of Faith in to my life!

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...

Dearest Susan,
I do hope your TMJ disappears forever!!! I used to suffer from it...it was so embarrassing, I couldn't eat pizza because I "clicked" when I chewed and it was wild. I could tell you some stories,,,even kissing could knock me out of alignment! Once for a week I could hardly open my mouth...made it tough to talk and I do love to talk! I was finally cured with God's help and a custom made brace I wore each night...it was the answer to prayer for me. It is very painful, I know and causes lots of trouble! I hope soon you will tell us it is much better!!!
CONGRATULATIONS on the news that you are going to have your first GRANDSON!! How exciting. I can see those little granddaughters being mother hens to him!!!
Praying for you always my dear friend!!

Yikes Susan - you are forcing me to "try" to multi-task. I am so used to just checking on Jordon that it takes me a few quiet days to remember to jump to your blog for some Amato info. WOW - what a day to jump. Congratulations on your newest baby news - how are the girls taking the BIG - EXCITING - WONDERFUL ANNOUNCEMENT?
So glad Joseph is doing well with his adventure - that is very brave of both of you. Yes I know you can't really hold them back, but I am sure you encouraged him to pursue his dreams (and after all you get credit for not latching on to his leg kicking and screaming and refusing to let go).
Do hope you are feeling better ASAP - dentist appointments WITH a headache going in just is above and beyond...
So glad you and Jordan were able to make your trip to St. Jude MORE of a social event:) than having to focus totally on the medical reasons. Guess you were a bit too busy to squeeze in golf on this trip as Rick is managing (have fun and enjoy) BUT - you had Jordan and that beats any golf day I've ever had (my big golf days consist of working fund raising golf events though so I guess that really doesn't cout LOL - I'm more like Jordan and like the fishing and boats better - believe it or not!
Please feel better soon - you don't have room on your busy calendar for feeling punky!

I am a little late in responding, but going with the Good Things Come To Those Who Wait theory (patience NOT usually my virtue) - I am so happy that all those tests just confirm medically what Jordan's smile indicates. This was just an excuse for all Jordan's fans to enjoy him - get a hug or two - and for mom to spread her love, warmth, strength and courage. Jordan is the poster boy/man that Danny Thomas dreamed of...helping other families to BELIEVE!!! And while I do enjoy teasing, it is with much love that I share your worry, I mean JOY, at Jordan's good news and so genuinely delighted to be a fan/friend in the loop. Of course, I appreciate the visuals and can't quite decide which was brighter - Jordan's smile, in each and every picture, the smiles of all his little buddies or Jordan's fashionably bright/colorful shirts??? Jordan is just an absolute sweetie! Save travels home - happy and tired seems in order:) - XXOO

Sending loving and good scan wishes to the dynamic duo - Mom & Jordan. After some possible medicine tweaks (if even necessary) - hope that your time in the St. Jude area is filled with good friends, socializing and sharing all your positive vibes.
As for Joseph - wow - Taiwan - and no warning to us like Joseph is thinking about going clear across the world for A YEAR - just - done deal. Some of us older folks need some easing into a major life decision announcement. All teasing aside, I am sure that it will be a wonderful experience and that Joseph will be missed as much as he is loved. Any chance Mom might just need a "kid fix" and visit?
Hoping, too, all is going according to plan for all the Amato's - including the newest little Amato work in progress via Kristin & Jason:)......

My faithful friend, you always sign in our website to say hello to us, even when I have been slack on doing the same...please forgive me! I have to confess, I come by your bog regularly to get my lift of Holy Spirit filled words and then go on my way, happier...but neglect to tell you how much your words and wisdom mean to me!!! My only excuse is I just can't seem to keep up on days the children have school. I do know you realize that and yet, I want you to have a message from me much more often than I have been able to lately!
Please know you are being lifted up for only GOOD reports on Jordan's scans and for traveling mercies as you make the long journey. I hope you have a wonderful time reconnecting in person with close friends and joy-lifters who have been by your side during some of this journey! What a wonderful devotional to remind us all of God's faithfulness!
How excited I am to hear of the new endocrinologist and i pray the changes and tweaks to medication will be pleasing to Jordan's body!!!
Oh how my Mom hearts aches for you that Joseph will be so far from home!!! I am going to have trouble letting Christian venture to college 90 minutes away! I just don't want to imagine him gone, but I know God will bring many joys to Joseph in his journey and will protect him!
Praying for you dear friend and I will be eager to read the good news!!!

Dear Susan and Jordan, Sorry it has been so long since I have left a message. I continually to check in on precious Jordan and pray for him. My son was deployed again 2 weeks ago so please keep him lifted up to our Father with me. Surprise..Surprise (as Gomer Pyle would say) he married just 5 days before his deployment. Talk about a surprise phone call. I met his lovely new bride when she came to visit at Christmas..I just didn't think things would move so quickly. They are having a formal wedding in October but as love birds sometimes do, they wanted to elope. The only difference is that I got to be there..yes, all the way to Washington state. I flew up there and back in 3 days. At least I was there to witness his real wedding vows. So, as you can see, I've been very busy...BUT never too busy to intercede for Jordan. I'm still standing with you on God's Word for his total healing. Until then, love, Piper

Dear Susan,
What a great devotional and update!
I am glad Jordan is doing better....but oh how we mom's dislike those steroids. Please tell Jordan that I love his picture with that big pot of crawfish. I have never had any before...but they look very tempting!
Good luck Kristin and Jordan in the Relay for Life. What a great thing to do in honor of Jordan, and all the other children who battle on. Of course we remember our angels too :-)
Thanks for stopping by Timmy's site Susan. I love getting my Susan fix....
Lots of Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Love to hear all your great news! The new photos are
great... Jordan is as handsome as ever (and Joseph too)
and the girls are just beautiful. Can't wait to see your
photos from the relay.
Hugs and Much Love,

Just a quick break from helping Neil - he is really in number crunch time crisis - but decided to check on you. What a great surprise - update and new pictures. And, an even bigger surprise was the first one of Jordan - smiling as always - but touching a "fish"....thought he wouldn't want a fishy smell on any of his wardrobe accessories:) Who knew???? Guess the taste supercedes the smell! Couldn't push send without commenting how precious the girls are and the bonus shot was the first one I ever think I saw up close and personal of Joseph! Those crawfish brought out all the troops:) XXOO

We had so much fun with Jordan. I only wished we could have stayed longer at the Relay. After a couple of hours, the girls were ready to break out of that stroller and run in 2 different directions. =)
We had so much fun yesterday at the party...and your beef stew was to die for!
Have a great day!

I am so sorry that Jordan will need to have another steroid shot! I do hope that it will help to get Jordan's excema under control and that it does not do anything in regards to his osteoporosis!
I will be thinking of you guys as you head to St. Jude's for scans! I can imagine how hard it must be to wait for the results.....I hope and pray with all my heart that the results of the scans will be GREAT! :)

Dear Susan,
Hello my friend...you are never far from my thoughts and heart. Thank you for remembering our angel children on Easter. You have no idea how much it means to us angel mom's :-)))
The Easter pictures are wonderful. I hope someday to be able to have a family that is so close and shares so much love. I hope to update soon on Caringbridge, but I want you to know that on Easter day I went flying (for the first time)with my Jason in Florida! It was amazing. I am so proud of him.
Thinking of you and Jordan so much as scan day approaches. Hoping Jordan gets relief soon from all those annoying problems.
You cook spaghetti and your own sauce? Wow, this Italian girl is very interested in your recipe?
With Lots of Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Hey Susan & Jordan,
Just wanted to stop by to check in and see how everyone is doing. I love the new Easter pics, such a beautiful family:) We will be praying as always for a good scan on April the 21st. Carly's will be soon after that. Carly's story is going to be featured in the national weekly magazine for the Assemblies of God in the May 18th edition. It is her testimony of God's faithfullness and goodness when life changed overnight with the dx of a brain tumor. We pray it will be a blessing and hope to many.
Blessings, Val

Oh MY! Randy is a HOOT!! Is she not?? LOL!
Susan, I LOVE your family pics. Your handsome sons, your beautiful daughter-in-love Kristin (as you call her), and those GORGEOUS grandbabes. I know I've told you before, but I'm just SO BLESSED by the genuine LOVE that you and Kristin have for each other. I'm praying for a relationship like that with the girls that my boys will one day marry. I know that the love you have for Kristin carries over and makes those girls EXTRA SPECIAL to you. (It's not hard to see it.. you talk about them ALL THE TIME) ;-) What a BLESSING to have such a large, CLOSE family!
Now, I'll be praying about those tests. I just can't wait until the day comes that my heart allows me to journey back to Memphis and meet with you during these testing periods. I KNOW that day will come.
Okay.. I didn't mean to write a book. PLEASE tell my buddy Jordan that I said hello, and I love and miss him? (The boys do too) Tell him to keep texting me... I LOVE to hear from him. ;-)

Now I can't wait for you and Jordan to come in April. I am so excited to be able to spend the day with you two. I really can't wait.

Wow - I feel like you gave me "power" - I bark out a polite order/request - and you comply. Thanks Susan:) - wish my guys were so cooperative!!! Loved the new pictures (the girls continue to get more precious & the boys more handsome with each photo shoot) and all of your holiday weather cooperating activities sounded perfect for the memory bank. Sorry that Jordan is still having so many issues with his skin, ugg - he needs and deserves a huge break. Even though scan time back at St. Jude is filled with anticipation and just the appropriate amount of worry - I am so glad for you that it is also packed filled with special friends and warm/loving reunions to enjoy and distract. Since you have allowed me to feel so empowered - I am going to "order" safe travels, good scan results, lots of quality down time and happy dancer results. Hey - I sure am bossy....but sincere. XXOO

Great pics, too. I love how you did the borders and writing...too cute.

This hymn has always been very special to me. Always makes me cry, too.
Praying right now!
"I Know that My Redeemer Lives"
by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799
1. I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head.
2. He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.
3. He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
4. He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
5. He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.
6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
7. He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He Iives to bring me safely there.
8. He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Hymn #200 from
Text: Job 19:25-27

Easter Joy
Jesus came to earth,
To show us how to live,
How to put others first,
How to love and how to give.
Then He set about His work,
That God sent Him to do;
He took our punishment on Himself;
He made us clean and new.
He could have saved Himself,
Calling angels from above,
But He chose to pay our price for sin;
He paid it out of love.
Our Lord died on Good Friday,
But the cross did not destroy
His resurrection on Easter morn
That fills our hearts with joy.
Now we know our earthly death,
Like His, is just a rest.
We'll be forever with Him
In heaven, where life is best.
So we live our lives for Jesus,
Think of Him in all we do.
Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
Help us love like you!
By Joanna Fuchs
Dear Susan and Jordan,

Praying that Jordan continues to do well and that the dry hands are a thing of the past. Christian has the opposite problem, his hands stay moist (actually wet)!

Easter Reflections
by : Helen Steiner Rice,
With OUR EYES we see
the beauty of Easter
as the earch awakens once more...
With OUR EARS we hear
the birds sing sweetly
to tell us Spring again is here...
With OUR HANDS we pick
the golden daffodils
and the fragrant hyacinths...
But only with OUR HEARTS
can we feel the MIRACLE of GOD'S LOVE
which redeems all men...
And only with OUR SOUL
can we make our 'pilgrimage to God'
and inherit His Easter Gift of ETERNAL LIFE.
I pray for a blessed Easter for your family

Hello Susan and Jordan. Long time no sign in. Sorry. I HAVE been praying for Jordan, and am so happy to hear that his mama-doc thinks things look good!
I loved the new devotion. We so much get caught up in the delights of this earth, that we fail to think on the wonderful glimpse that the WORD gives us, as to Heaven and living with Jesus, face to face! Pure love and joy. WOW.
Now if that can't lift my spirit, nothing can! Thanks, Susan.

Dear Susan,
Thinking of you, Jordan and your family tonight and catching up with your "Forever His Blog". I got goosebumps reading the story about Catherine Lawes'...what an amazing woman.
I know this week is blood tests for Jordan. You both have been running around so much lately...you need a vacation. Look forward to hearing that everything is just fine.
As always Susan, thank you for checking in on me especially on Timmy's birthday. The tapestry poem is beautiful. I re-read it so many times and it is so powerful and true. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Were you serious about those Coach bag raffle tickets?
Sending you lots of love tonight.

Dear Susan, I just finished reading your blog and I still cannot figure how to post a note! I am so behind in computer knowledge. I was so blessed reading about God's incomparable love for us all. What a wonderful thing to think on while falling asleep. I'm still praying and standing with you on Jordan's complete and total healing. Is he still enjoying his job at Wal-mart? I know you must of had a wonderful birthday especially with Tonya's visit. She is an incredible testimony to the grace of God through an enormous trial. I wish you both could come to Atlanta this spring for Beth Moore"s Deeper Still conference. It would be great to finally meet you both! Through your writings you are ministering to a vast amount of God's children. May you have a blessed Sabbath. In Christ, Piper

You never seem to skip a beat......you are always checking in on your cb friend and supporting so many of us! You are just amazing! I am so glad that you guys are feeling better and so glad Jordan and Rick were able to avoid getting sick! :) :)
I feel so bad for Jordan and all that he goes through! He is such a sweet young man and I wish him the very very best always! I hope that his doctor was able to prescribe something to help with his excema! I know you have mentioned his excema before! Ouch! It seems like it must be so painful! :( I hope that he gets some relief soon!
I am sorry to hear about his severe nosebleeds! I hope that he doesnt have anymore!

Wow - Just when I think YOU can't possibly be any busier - you are. I bet you are current on every magazine in every doctor's office you visit! Glad you and your crew are feeling better - it has been a rough winter for many families and it appears that once the bug bites - there is very little chance of dodging those powerful germs. Sure hope Jordan's test results come back promising. I know he tries not to let things get him down - but it must be difficult to wear that huge grin when he often feels kinda crummy.
So, new grandbaby - boy or girl - will it be named in the "K" tradition? Obviously you used up most of the "good" boy "J" names LOL. A new baby is always very exciting and although I was teasing Jason about wanting a boy (probably for the toys because he is a wonderful dad to his girls) and curious about the "girls" preference - what I really want to know is if your wonderful daughter-in-law has several sisters - can she be cloned or is she really - truly one of a kind? Your relationship with Kristen is so special and your mutual love and respect for each other totally unique and frankly enviable. Your sharing your wonderful family sets the bar pretty high for those of us still waiting for our sons to bring home a "Kristen" **if possible (not in a rush - just like to be prepared mind you). It is such a treat to check on Jordan to find lots of family sharing, photos, bonding and memories in the making. Thinking about you and really looking forward to good news from all Jordan's tests.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Happy Valentine's Day my friend. I hope all your boys were good to you.
Thank you for the wonderful birthday pictures. I am so glad that you got to share your birthday with your dear friend Tonya. I know that must have been your best birthday gift. Someday you will have to email me and let me know what birthday this was. I think we are definitely close to the same age. I have a big one coming up in May. I am sure you know what that is...
I hope all is well with Jordan. No news is good news.
Oh, another grand baby. I so want this one to be a boy! Congratulations to everyone.
Thanks for always checking in on me. Your caring means more to me then I could ever say.

Psalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Okay...now I want to answer Randy (her guestbook entry below...)
Hey Randy...after 2 girls...we are all kind of voting for a boy, except for Kayla. Kayla says she wants another sister named Karli. I told her she already has a sister named Karli, and she says she wants another one. I guess that is a good thing. Oh, and if it is a boy, her name vote is Daddy. =) Whatever God chooses to bless us with (boy or girl) will be perfect, though.

That's such great/wonderful news....I must say everyone wore their happiest smiles in honor of your special day. I was so happy that I finally saw Jordan in the pictures (smile attached) as I assume that it must have been as difficult for him without Brent as it was for Tonya to have been with Jordan. There is a special forever bond - love - between all of you and Brent will always be included if only in your hearts and minds. Have the "girls" put in their preference yet as to a new little brother or sister? Jason has to remember he is only one vote LOL...Anyway, thanks for the update and glad everyone is feeling much improved:) XXOO

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Dear Susan and Jordan, I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written...but DO NOT ever think you have been forgotten..it's just the opposite. I check almost daily but with 7 grandbabies (I KNOW you understand)I don't always get the luxury of sitting at the computer by myself. My old computer died so my husband bought another one...it is just a "little" over my head. I'm trying to learn all the new things it can do. This "blob" thing is new to me and I'm not sure how to get on yours. Sometimes I wish I could just call and tell you everything...I type so slow. Anyway I said all that to say this.....it is a privilege to continue to lift Jordan and your sweet family to our Lord Who is definitely "completing that good work He began in you". Well, you won't believe this...my daughter has just called and needs me for back-up to go grocery shopping. See????? I do love it, though! Please know how very much you are loved and prayed for every single day! I"ll try later to find your blog. In Christ, Piper

Just me, along with Tonya too, (and the "boys" extending Happy Birthday wishes Susan. I am hoping that you have a wonderful, fun (which for you means friends and famiy) weekend of celebrating special YOU! As an age appropriate "peer" I think now is the time to remember corny but meaningful little blurbs like with age comes wisdom, or older AND wiser or YOUNG AND HEART! In any and all cases, thinking of you and wishing you the best on your b'day today & always. XXOO
P.S. Nice to know, Tonya, you are well - was worried about the Nason's because of the tornado...so finding you on Jordan's site on Susan's b'day was a double blessing:)

Sorry I've been away from the computer for a few days. Still been praying but wanted to share such special verses that remind us all that much more importantly the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for each of us perfectly according to His Will.
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hi Jordan & Susan
I am so sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well...you wrote your journal entry on Monday so hopefully you are feeling better now that it is already Friday.
Jordan looks so handsome on his front page picture! That picture must of been taken in Disney World some where because it looks very familiar. I am going to read your Valentine Story on your blog....I'm glad you are enjoying blogging...you are such a great writer... and of course a wonderful wondeful friend. Tell Jordan we said Hi and give him hugs for us.

Hello, sweeet Susan. Yes, Jordan and his mom have many folks who check up and okay, like me do not sign the guestbook very regularly! I confess, I am a lurker many times, BUT I do pray for precious Jordan every day. He is my pal and such a great guy! How is he doing now? Is he still working at Wmart? Maybe soon Harold and I will be coming down to BR. Until then, the Lord God bless all the Amato family and Jordan particularly.

When you can, please just let me know that you are safe and maybe at most inconvenienced. The pictures on the news are scarey and now seem even more personal with friends in target areas. Hoping that everyone is safe, sound, dry and feeling better too. XXOO

So glad things are going well, that you and Jordan are bouncing back (takes a tough germ to get a mom down -- especially YOU). Once again you and Jordan are the dymanic duo fighting whatever comes your way - together!!! Sorry to cut this short - but there was a tease of sorts to remind me to drift from Jordan updates to yours....hmmm - that is multi-tasking for me - but I'm holding you to your promise for a good Valentine Story - so ....XXOO

Susan-I looked at your blog-how great is that!!! I loved the Valentine's Day story!! It is reading of stories like this, that make us know we must work on our own relationship's at home(sometimes they seem like they are slipping away).

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Congratulations on your team winning the national championship!
And here's to a rematch next year in Columbus or Ann Arbor!
I didn't go to Ohio State. I attended Ohio University in Athens. When I was at Fort Riley, Kansas, for ROTC summer camp in 1972, the various instructors would often ask us where we went to school. When I answered, "Ohio University, sir!" they would sometimes ask how the football team was going to do that year. I would have to explain, "No, sir. You're thinking of a different school."
(I went to one Ohio University game while I was there. I don't remember if we won, but the statistical odds are that we didn't.)

Interesting - I think there are almost as many LSU fans in Jordan's guestbook as there are Smiling - Syling Jordan fans! It sure is fun getting caught up in a WINNING team's enthusiasm.
Sorry your new year calendar is starting to fill with doctor appointments - but maybe if you nip all the issues in the bud in the first few months of the New Year - the rest will be smooth sailing....that is my hope anyway:)
Now for the Mardi Gras Ball...that is really front page news - save some space on your Wall of Fame for your debut!

Hey Susan and Jordan. I love all your LSU stuff, Jordan and Susan's shrine (as Staci called it). Wasn't that was a super great game and whole year!
I am praying right now for Jordan to get his miracle. I keep on asking God to do a real big one for Jordan, and get rid of that tumor; but, just like I know Mrs. Susan would say, what ever is HIS will, I trust the Lord with Jordan's best.
Love your blog, Susan. No plans to come your way in the next few days, but some day soon, we will be down to see James and Stephanie; then maybe you could work us into your schedule.
Jordan, I cannot wait for you to be in the St. Jude Ball Court, because I really do want a picture of you in your tux for my frig. I know you will be so handsome because I already saw you in a wedding pic in a tux, and you DID look good, man.

Hi, all--
We've been thinking of you this week...guess why? Hmmm, something to do with a football game? Hooray for your team! Seriously, my Andrew (who was not allowed to stay up for the game) was asking for Jordan, aka "the kid who's family won the tickets last year for the game"...the sport maniac here enjoyed that tale from last year! (and his basketball team is "LSU", so we feel practically related now!)
I hope you had a mighty fest with non-claw-y food (for you at least! : ) ) and family & fun!!!
I hope & pray you all are well,
peace,
Kristin, Genna's mom <thecams@earthlink.net>

Dear Susan,
Sorry I haven't written for a while. I always check in and think about you and Jordan so often.
I think we are all due a very long update and New Year's devotional. I am among many here who look forward to all the love, faith, and hope you share with us. I love the way you translate the scriptures to us, and apply it to our daily lives.
I hope all is well with you my friend, Jordan and your family (especially those precious granddaughters.) The photo collage is beautiful.
Thanks for always checking in on me. Holding on to hope.
I will email you soon.
With Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

And why didn't you come back here and put the score on here? I couldn't watch the whole game and had the hardest time finding out who won! Way to go LSU!
Am sharing two verses today. The second verse is God's own interpretation of the first verse. When dealing with all the "floods" and vehement winds beating upon us, there is only One Sure Foundation. Praying so as you face these "floods."
Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

A friend sent me this passage today and I thought it was especially good. There's nothing more comforting in life than knowing the source of our salvation. Know that I'm still praying!
Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Hi there - just wanted to check on you and Jordan as I know that Brent's angel-versary comes with much mixed emotions. In addition to the deep unwavering faith that both the Nason & Amato family share - I hope all of you are comforting in the FACT that Brent KNEW he was so very loved by all of you. I also think that since both Jordan and Brent have brothers of their own - their friendship was extra special & a unique relationship. They held a place in each others heart that will always be cherished....just look at those smiling faces & shoulder to shoulder bonding....XXOO-Love, randy

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Susan,
THANK YOU SO MUCH for remembering Brent and asking prayer for us. He loved You & Jordan as if you were family. He was always SO EXCITED when we knew we'd get to meet up and spend time with you. (I still smile as I remember the both of our little men sitting up in Brent's hospital bed watching tv while Brent got a transfusion. They were so cute!) I can't tell you how much your family has meant to us. We're SO THANKFUL to have met you!!!
Yes, tomorrow is a date that I've had "mixed emotions" over. Part of me has dreaded the thought of reliving his passing, while another part of me wants to celebrate the LIFE he now lives! It's been hard feeling pulled in both directions... but KNOWING that we'll see him again brings such comfort. We're just SO BLESSED to KNOW JESUS... AMEN??
I'm really looking forward to coming down to see you. I can't wait till we FINALLY make some plans. Maybe AFTER we get the little guys' doctor appointment behind us and all tests are CLEAR we can start planning something.
Okay.. I'll let you go for now... THANKS AGAIN for your beautiful tribute to Brent! We LOVE YOU SO MUCH...
Tonya
PS.. Please give my buddy Jordan a big hug and tell him hello? =-) Same goes for everyone else in your beautiful family.

As the new year begins everyone's thinking about time and counting it down. So I wanted to share THE section of Scripture dealing with time. Praying as one year ends and a new one begins. Whatever this new year holds, the Lord WILL be with you!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

A New Year’s Prayer
May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
Numbers 6:24-26
24 "The LORD bless you
and keep you;
25 the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
26 the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace."

I love that pic of Brent and Jordan. How's Jordon done with this? So often we forget about the friends who've suffered a deep loss, too. As I go through all the pages I'm reminded of all the children who will be do profoundly effected when sweet Maddie goes Home. She has so many friends who love her so deeply...but they're in the Lord's Hands as well. He will comfort them along with her family.......
Continuing to pray!

Dear Susan and Jordan, As usual, your encouraging words are like drops of rain to a parched, thirsty soul. I have had Tonya and family on my heart all Christmas season long....this continues to amaze me seeing that I have never met her or you, for that matter. You evidently are a priceless friend to the Nasons and I'm sure they sense your prayers. I continue to intercede for Jordan for complete and total healing. I hope to one day meet you and Jordan. I've SO enjoyed reading the anointed messages and now to see thejm through your blog...the Savior's touch is on each and every word you type...just continue to give Him all the praise and watch how he will use you to be a blessing to others. My son, Ben, was able to be here for Christmas (the first time in 3 years)and it's bittersweet because I know he is getting ready to be deployed again. I continually have to keep my eyes fixed on my Lord and His precious Word and refuse to sin by worrying (I haven't actually successfully pulled this off but I am a "work in progress". May you all have a blessed new year..looking forward to all the great things God has in store for you. In Christ, piper

Dear Susan,
I just can't wait to hear about your Christmas with your family. I hope you have lots of pictures to share.
I got the most amazing Christmas gift from a friend. The King James Version (Old Testament) of the Bible on 36 cassette tapes. It is narrated by a Shakespearean actor named Alexander Scourby. When I opened this gift, I wondered to myself...does Susan have this too? The only tape recorder I have in the house is one from when Timmy was a little boy. It still works. I have listened to the tapes just before bedtime. They are so powerful.
Well Susan, after reading through your guestbook entries all I can say is: you are so loved, and such a gift to so many of us.
With Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

To My Ever Dear CB Family-
I just wanted to drop you a note and wish you a BLESSED Holiday Season. I visit your site religiously but often find I do not have enough time to leave you a message of how I truly feel. I pray for your little one, your family, your extended family, your entire support system and even those strangers who pass by with a smile while you may be out throughout your day. I have learned more about LIVING through each one of you and your remarkable children than I could ever have dreamed I would. You all have the key to true happiness, Love, Hope, Compassion, Appreciation, and trust. I realize these “words” fall into different context for each of you but the common thread is that your children have you, as their parents, for a very special reason. God knew what he was doing when he Blessed you with these sweet, pure, tenderhearted angels on earth. I am blessed with three children of my own and they, as well as myself, are forever grateful for your DAILY inspirations.
We have ridden this rollercoaster ride along with you. Our sweet Meghan Norris, has had quite a long, hard year. We are so thankful that God has heard our prayers and that Meghan is now CANCER FREE. We are FOREVER bound to our Loving Father God for his Graciousness. We pray that each and every one of you feels his presence, his Love and his Grace this Holiday Season…
God Bless You and your families,
The Dorman Family
(Proud aunt, uncle and cousins to Meghan Norris)

THE CANDY CANE
Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
This cane of red and white
Proclaims the sweet love story
Born on Christmas night.
This cane, you see, when turned around
Begins your name of Love
And now becomes a symbol
Of peace proclaimed above.
The lively peppermint flavor
Is the regal gift of spice.
The white is your purity
And the red your sacrifice.
And so this cane reminds us
Of just how much you care
And like your Christmas Gift
To us it's meant for all to share.
Merry Christmas

Hello Susan and Jordan. Hope Jordan is feeling better by now. We have been beyond busy up here in north LA.
I know you are doing just what I did this afternoon, checked my list twice!! Ha ha. I did and found an empty spot! Thank goodness I saw it!
Please tell Jordan that I said a special Christmas howdy to him. I just LOVE that young man.
We are asking our Lord to bless the Amato household with a beautiful Christmas full of precious times of memory making!
Always thanking God for HIS perfect gift to us:
John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
How beautiful is that! Love ya loads. Fay

Dear Susan,
Thank you my friend for checking in on me and giving a boost of faith, hope and love when I need it most. You are so good to me.
I am sure Christmas preparations are in full swing at the Amato house. All the delicious cooking, beautiful decorations, and maybe last minute shopping for your grand daughters. They must be so much fun to shop for after many years of Christmas shopping for all your boys.
Yes...it is icy, rainy and so cold here in New Jersey. No snow yet!
Thank you again for thinking of us angel moms during this time of the year. It means so much!
Lots of Love Always,
Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Hey Jordan!
I hope those headaches go away soon.
Tell your mom thanks for signing Mamie's guestbook and for encouraging me on the Singing Christmas Tree program. We did two performances today and have two to go. I guess the audiences liked it, but I don't see how they could have got as much out of it as we did. The director reminded us before dress rehearsal yesterday and again before this afternoon's matinee that we are worshiping more than performing.
Merry Christmas! As we sang tonight, "this is the season, He is the reason."

Thanks for signing Shae's guestbook this morning. Sorry that I don't sign more often. I often wonder why not many sign Shae's and I am just as guilty!!! Anyway, thanks for being such a special friend to me.

A small poem to let you know that I'm thinking about you today! Keep hanging tough my special friends.
A Prayer For You
I said a prayer for you today
And I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although he spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth of fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

So glad the cortisol is giving Jordan that extra boost of energy he needs. Wal-Mart will be completely insane for the next couple of weeks...he will need it!
Thank you for thinking of me this Thanksgiving Susan. I needed it. You truly are a treasured friend, and you make such a difference in the lives of so many.

Welcome home...I knew you would have a wonderful time. The pictures you shared were perfect - it accomplished lots of ohhh & ahhh's, wishing I was with you and that I had a daughter or two for one of those handsome Amato guys! By the way is it my imagination or was Minnie smiling extra wide because Jordan was giving Goofy some fashion tips? Disney may have been crowded (it always is) but at least the weather cooperated and the timing of Jordan's energy was another bonus. So glad he is feeling so well - happy & sweet is a given as we have NEVER seen a Grumpy Jordan photo! And, I didn't see any pictures of Jordan napping the Disney day away like his big brother Jason. Well, now it is time for you to share all your Christmas planning - decorating and Jordan's stories about the oh so hectic Wal-Mart shoppers:) -XXOO randy

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Thanksgiving Day Grace
Our Father, fill our hearts, we pray,
With gratitude Thanksgiving Day;
For food and raiment Thou dost give,
That we in comfort here may live.
With bread of life our spirits feed
And grant to us the grace we need,
Guide Thou our feet lest they should stray
From paths of righteousness away.
True service may we render Thee
In love and deep humility;
Deliver us from every sin,
In His dear name we ask. Amen.

I also cannot wait for the pictures and stories from DisneyWorld. My Beca and Nathan (my oldest daughter's children)came back with stories that seem to grow every time they were told. I've already thanked God for your safe trip, both coming and going. Ben is flying in on Dec. 19 (it's the first Christmas in 3 years that he will be home. He then will be deployed again the next month. God has truly been so good to me....He continually supplies grace and mercy on every hand. Have a great trip and stay wrapped up in His great love!

Hey there Susan! You are just too sweet! You remembered right, tomorrow is my birthday. You were kind to say that I'm "29" - that's actually what I claimed earlier today when someone asked how old I'd be. I've actually been 29 for about 5 years now. That's not counting the time I ACTUALLY WAS 29! HA!!! Yep, I'll be 34 tomorrow. Gosh, I feel so old sometimes and yet I still have the mind of a child. HAHAHAHA!! Anyway, THANKS AGAIN for the birthday wishes! I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!

As for your family trip - How exciting - have a wonderful time - enjoy the vacation from everyones eyes and perfect timing that Jordan is at the top of his energy game with his new meds. I am sure he will be a wonderful help with the Princess' too. Please take lots of pictures to share for those of us who have to enjoy the vacation vicariously. I am especially requesting to see the Jordan styling Mickey's wardrobe:) minus the ears, of course. I just know it will be all that Disney can be for the traveling Amato' ensemble.

Hi - Glad to hear that Jordan has had another change of medication that hopefully will make him feel much better. The "hormone" issues whether it be PMS, Puberty, Menopause or less commonly recognized (as in Jordan's case his brain tumor) causes such havoc. I so hope that this new medicine helps to bring Jordan some internal comfort and feeling of well being. He deserves that and so much more!!

What a super devotional, Susan. I am back home after more than a week of vacation with Mr. Harold. We had fun, but it is also fun getting home and catching up. So glad to hear that Jordan is over the shingles! That concert was super too, huh!
Well, just letting you know that we pray daily for Jordan and his entire family. Count on it, you guys.
Love ya. Fay
PS: Guess who I got to hug while I was in northwest AR? Yep, Mrs. Trish Hampton in person!!! She was on her way to a concert, and we visited for less than an hour, but she is so precious to me. I thank God for that visit.
It is about time for a BR visit to see my kids and lunch with Jordan at Chilis? Maybe soon.

Dear Jordan and Family,
You are such an inspiration to me. Last week I sang "Trust His Heart" in church because of certain circumstances in our lives and to hear you echo those same words in your lives challenges me that "when I don't understand, when I don't see His plan, when I can't trace His hand, TRUST HIS HEART!"
We serve an awesome God who continually reminds me of who He is through precious people like you.
May God bless you as richly as He does me through you!
Love and Prayers,
Joanne ~ Angel_Wings

Thanks for your prayers.....as you know, this journey has it's ups and downs, it's comforting to know that there are people like you who continue to keep Dave in their prayers...Many Blessings to you and your wonderful family.

Read the opening sentence in the devotion and just started laughing. Ah yeah...you could say so! You were putting that devotion on your page just while our family was going through so much..........
Praying!
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hi - What great new smile pictures of Jordan - are there even any other kinds?? I think that Jordan looked right at home with the band - hope he got those drum sticks he wanted - don't think your house is noisy enough Susan with your ever populated home filled with family and friends - and you wouldn't want it any other way.
Looks like Jordan is feeling as good as he looks - YEAH! Glad those shingles didn't get him down for too long - they can be really painful.
Now as for you and your new blog - I got so used to keeping up with you on Jordan's page and I have the ongoing avoidance of multi-tasking meaning in this case - I forgot to wander - that I have to go visit your other site to catch up. Yikes - no wonder my family compares me to the rodent in the maze that keeps spinning and moving in circles and getting no where FAST - they do have basis!
Glad all your "busy" - seems to be with "to do's" that are making YOU happy. Talk to you soon - Love, Randy

Dear Susan and Jordan, I'm so excited about the test results. Susan, I found your new blog and I tried to post a comment but I am unfortunately not very good with computers. Your timely message was so true. It brought conviction to my heart because, like you, I can easily get too involved in "doing" God's work and putting Him on the back burner (so to speak). I look forward to your future notes. You go girl, let the Lord use you to reach out to others! In Christ, Piper

Thanks Susan, for the nice comments about the video. Yes, I did make it. I'm kinda proud of it, it was only the 2nd video I have made. A few months ago Hannah had a really nice man buy her a laptop and it has a movie maker program on it, Windows Movie Maker. Very simple and user friendly. The background music and me talking was done last year at a local radio station to be played off and on during the Children's Miracle Network Radio-a-thon. I'm glad that Jordan is doing good. Praise God. I am anxious about Hannah's Nov. scans and bloodwork. That is such a hard time, I'm sure you know. My stomach won't be settled till I hear the news of NO reaccurance. Nice to chat with you but I better close before I go on and on.

I was happy to see Jordan's scans were good! Praise Jesus! I know it must be hard to not feel anxious when that time comes around but your faith shines through you like sunbeams=)! I have always enjoyed reading your inspirational journal entries. You are amazing!

Heart Prints
Whatever our hands touch...we leave fingerprints on.
On walls, on furniture, on door knobs, dishes and books.
As we touch we leave our identity..
Oh please where ever I go today...help me leave heart prints.
Heart prints of compassion, understanding and love.
Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor...or a runaway daughter...
or an anxious mother...or perhaps a dear friend!
I shall go out today...to leave heart prints...
and if some one should say...
'I felt your touch!' May that one sense be...
your loving touch through me!

Happy Birthday to a very special young man. You continue to make your family and all of us so proud of you.
Susan,
You knew it, and I knew it...Stable is wonderful and so is an MRI without any movement. I love how when you travel to St. Judes, you get to meet so many special families. All the love, hugs and special moments are memories to treasure. I know that you give hope and strength to each family you meet.
Thanks for your entry in Timmy's Caringbridge journal. I am recovering from exhaustion. Unfortunately not on a sunny beach. The chilliness and cold of Fall have hit New Jersey.

Even in the midst of the greatest trials God is still merciful. Know that I'm here praying!
Psalms 118:28-29 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

I am praising God and thanking HIM, who has every thing in HIS control, for giving Jordan this awesome blessing that we have been praying for.
Jordan, I am so sorry that you have the shingles. They are so bothersome. Mr. Harold's mother just recently had them, and I took her to the doctor and helped her out while she was ill. I am praying that your case will be short and over very soon.
Have a super birthday. You are a wonderful guy.
Love from up in north LA.

GREAT NEWS - Sounds like things could not have been better this trip - even the shingles got you some VIP perks. So glad you were able to get the most comprehensive clear scans - another milestone reached. YEAH!!! Loved all the new pictures - Jordan always seems to be having a good time - what a wonderful smiles he wears - along with his fashion styling statements:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all (in our house PARENTS get birthday credit and get to share the importance of the occasion). Bet Grammy's girls are going to want to help Uncle Jordan blow out all those candles - including the extras for continued good health & happiness.
Love,
Randy & "boys"

Hi Mrs. Susan and Jordan. I'm so happy to hear about the good report!! I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading. I know what a trial it has been to even get an MRI done, so to get it done and get such an amazing report.. PRAISE GOD!! My goodness, I can't believe Jordan is 22!! Where has the time gone!? I will be praying that everything stays well and that Jordan gets rid of those shingles soon! Love you!!
