The mornings bring anticipation of a new day and new beginnings and the celebration of His world waking around me. This is a time to stop and collect your racing thoughts of what needs to be done this day... a

Laurie "Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.: Philippians 4:9 Wednesday, but I am not clear on where all the time went on Monday and Tuesday as we had Tink here. I did get 10350 steps on my new meter! FOR TUESDAY, not for both days. Below is a slide show of the two days... we took Lauren on a LONG walk yesterday. That is why I had over 10,000 steps. Finding peace when there is a tiny one in the house is challenging. She is not quite into a schedule of eating and sleeping but she is only 7 weeks old now.

JOY JOY JOY JOY Do you know anyone that does not want joy in their lives? Unless it is Christmas or you read the Oprah magazine there is not much use of the word JOY in our language from day to day. Why does it seem there is not enough joy in our lives? The third candle we light today is the Joy Candle. We add this to Hope and Peace.

I was visiting with a collector in California yesterday and this one subject kept coming up. We all have mulled over the thoughts that we have to Let Go and Let God; we have accepted the fact if we makes plans, God is probably greatly amused; and we know we are to seek knowledge to provide wisdom to make decisions.
