The Painting: Well I started it six years ago... found it in the closet and decided perhaps I need to finsih it!  Stay tuned over the next few days for work on it. Today was busy with dress fittings for the upcoming wedding and birthday shopping for Tink. Stacey and I had a wonderful day....so I did not paint today.

The Thought:  This painting is a  long work in progress... as is life.  Just when you think you are getting the hang of things, life changes.  Never better, never worse but ALWAYS different.  Sometimes I shake my head and can imagine God chuckling as He made the plans for my life before I was even breathing here on earth. I think we all remain in suspense in our own lives never knowing what the day will bring.

My friend, stay open to change. Think of yourself on a raft floating down the river...there are rapids and smooth areas...relax and allow yourself to float through breathlessly with out a snag or a hiccup...it is only when you fight the river that you lose.  You lose power, strength and even your life. Stop trying to control the flow of the river. God is on that raft with you and He will guide you through the rapids and the rocks along the way.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”- Ephesians 4:2

The Thought:  Our youngest daughter is still very ill.   I am pumping her full of fruit and juices, mucinex and tylenol etc but it is not a positive thing right now. Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
