Thank you my friend for the loads of stones that you, and Susan, has and continue to provide. Now you're on your own, without Susan, but never alone. May this new twist in your road hold lots of blessings for you.

Life experiences are great teachers and we ...Sonja,<br />Life experiences are great teachers and we use these often, especially when the road of our life becomes tougher. With MSA it become our DR3703. When adversity enters and we are no longer given a choice on it's direction we fill in the big potholes with prayer,faith,strength, courage and we inch on! Our attitude becomes, "When the going get's tough the tough get going!" It's a attitude! It's our choice to make about how we address new adversity. You wrote about the important role that each team member has as pot hole are filled and movement forward is slow moving inch by inch. There is no turning back you just move forward. Those big holes in the road are filled with faith, prayer, hope, trust, courage and strength. It's God who is our pilot, even in the darkest of times. This life adventure story you have shared, Susan and I could have been characters in it! So many lessons are taught in your adventure! It brings tears to my eyes, I can relate oh so well! Thanks for sharing and it reminds me that I'm still on the road myself only in a differnt role. And I'm still filling the potholes as my life moves forward. God Bless you and your husband as you keep filling both the big and small holes. Know you and your family are always being lifed in prayer. The same is true for Emilene, Eddie, Susan (love that name)Gerda and Ester! "Happy Trails to all!"

In 2002 we still used a film camera, so the photos of us were scanned and not good quality. I 'borrowed' that first photo from the internet because it shows so clearly how bad that 'road' was.MSA with Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681493500292056373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699391806070605117.post-62885031583120926902012-05-24T13:12:25.747-07:002012-05-24T13:12:25.747-07:00Ek dink nie eens woorde of prentjie kan regtig oor...Ek dink nie eens woorde of prentjie kan regtig oorvertel wat julle beleef het nie!
