My Faith is the soul of my Life. I’m so thankful that that my amazing parents gave me my Foundation of my Faith. My mama read to my twin brother, Zane and I a Bible story every night. She taught my Bible class,every Children’s Bible song with hand motions, and hymns. My Daddy taught me to pray and to trust in the Lord.
My parents lived out what they believed and showed Grace and Joy to everyone. You could see Jesus’ light in them by their compassion, kindness, generosity, and listening hearts.

I’m so thankful God has given me Precious Memories to write about my parents.

My sweet Mama passed away in 2014 from ovarian cancer and my daddy in 2015 of a broken heart. I miss them daily. These stories I write will be for my three kids one day. My hope is to keep their memory alive and to carry on traditions that they started.

What a beautiful legacy they left and I’m a thankful daughter.

I’m thankful my parents gave me the example of Gathering Around The Table.

Growing up my precious Mama had supper on the kitchen table everyday at 5:00 p.m. requested by my hardworking Daddy. He was a welder at US Steel and he was hungry when he got home. Our supper was not a one dish and a salad. It usually was a casserole or some type of meat along with many fresh vegetables from my Daddy’s bountiful garden, crispy cornbread, and some left over dessert from Sunday lunch after church.

My daddy was a sergeant in the Army and he did not like clutter. Anytime growing up and we were going to have company over to eat he would say “ Doris clear off these Doodads”.

I too love Doodads like my mama did and decorating. Doodads make a house a home.
