Fireworks!!

So,for the 4th,it really kinda wasn't really the same without our grandma.She usually organized getting together for holidays and bdays and stuff,so it felt kinda weird without her.Honestly,we almost didn't do anything to celebrate it.Grandpa went off to Maine,uncle had to work and our Aunt n uncle had their own plans.So,we really didn't have any "Blood relatives"to celebrate it with.So,instead,we spent it with our adoptive grandparents.We always enjoy spending time with them,talking,and making fun memories together as a family.Afterwards,one of our church family members,Eli,had asked us to drive him and his siblings to the fireworks in warroad.so we got to see the show.We met up with some other friends,and watched the display together,and had a wonderful time!It was so amazing watching the fireworks!It was like the we're exploding in the sky!At that moment,it instantly reminded me of Physics.Where you see the color first,then the sound a few seconds after.They did display the fireworks a little longer this year due to compensation of the parade,which was awesome!Rachel,my friend,wondered how fireworks got to be associated with the 4th.That got me thinking,How is celebrating the 4th of July associated with fireworks?So I did a little research.

John Adams had hoped to celebrate it with fireworks.Before the declaration of independence was signed,John Adams envisioned fireworks as a wonderful way to celebrate it.He work to his wife,on July 3rd,1776 in a letter saying he hoped to celebrate the 4th with:"Pomp,parade,with shews,games,sports,guns,bells,bonfires,and illuminations from one end of the continent to this continent to the other from this time forward forever more."

Under the starry sky

 So,I've been a little short on posts lately,so I decided to take up the extra slack by writing a poem.Its called "Under the starry sky": No sun,I am teary Replaced by rain,I am weary The moon comes out to see me It's very dark and dreary A star comes out ever so slightly It's shining very brightly Because of the rain,because of the snow The star shines even more so It has no where else to go So it just shines,and shines,and shines Up in the big blue sky Declaring the work of its maker It hopes to serve its Saviour The silver star is just like me It represents what I hope to be The rain,the snow,and the wind suddenly stops And I can truly see All those stars gazing sweetly down at me All those who believe in Christ,will live eternally All those stars ever so brilliantly Are those in Christianity So shine,shine,shine So Jesus Christ can see!

My Grandma

Yesterday I attended a funeral.Not really sure how to put this,or if it'll come out right.I attended a persons funeral to which I was very close with.My grandmas.It was touching to see how many lives Mary Mathews touched.I look around the auditorium and see people hurting just as much as I am n know I'm not alone. We held an open house afterward and was so thankful for all the people who brought delicious desserts and snacks,so we wouldn't have to wait tables and clean up.Making the day even longer.We all had a good fellowship and spent some time with friends and family.As my grandma would say "LOVE ISNT MEANT TO STAY,LOVE ISNT LOVE UNTIL YOU GIVE IT AWAY" If you have not seen the funeral or couldn't make it here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs474BVBxAA6DOC4sjRFP-A

Dear Readers, Since I found out my grandma has cancer,it's been a tough road for all of us.In some way or another,it left a scar on our hearts.I'm so thankful that God is with us through these tough times.I've come to believe sometimes loving someone comes with a price.When you love someone,it hurts you to see them in pain.That is the price to loving somone,but loving them is worth the risk.I've learned time is precious,everyone has it,but no one can keep it.It's fleeting,one here moment,gone the next.Spending time with your loved ones is important to tying those heart strings.My family has been key to these tough times.Especially my parents.They've protected me,cared for me,gave godly advice,and helped me bear my burdens.God has been with me throughout this trip,and He'll still be with me looooooonnnnnnngggggg after.My church family has supported my grandma and took the time to be there for her.That's something I won't forget easily and will always
