I close my eyes and feel the leaves as they fall from the trees brushing my face and hands.  Even as these leaves die and fall from the tree they remind me of the rich living bounty of God.  Some might wish it was money falling from the trees, but not me. These leaves symbolize all God gives us daily with this bounty open to us to have at any time. He continues to bless us with shared smiles, conversations, hugs, winks and many treasured moments.

So today is my birthday. I cannot figure out why they seem to come around faster and faster each year. It is quite the change from life living at the lake to where we are living now.  Now is above and then is below.  Terry is still busy bringing in more flowers, trees and plants. I do not think we will eve

This  painting  of Wolves traversing the snow in Canada reminds me of our own journey. There is a  hunger  that drives us. It used to be hunger to find something to eat, but now the hunger is power, toys, possessions, homes, cars.  What is your reality? What drives you each day? Is it the search for  happiness  and contentment? Is  happiness  conditional?  Can you be satisfied and find  happin

I guess it would depend on the length of 'the  future '.  I was teaching Lady L (My granddaughter) about the word 'future'.  It was hard to grasp as we talked about what we would be doing in ten minutes was 'the future'.  The final outcome was that only  God  knows the  future . He has a plan in mind for each of us. We can make our lists of goals and dream of what wonderful things we want in life, but in truth we have ev

No.. not really. This  pumpkin   painting  started in shades of black and white...and slowly color was added to the  painting .   No situation in life is simple as black and white.  We are fast to judge and look at others in judgement when we do not know the entire story or the entire person.  How can you ever really know?  Slowly as you get to know a person, the "colors" or experiences begin to stand out and become real.  People are not who you see on the outside, but rather the lifetime of

Seems like you have spent every spark of energy at work, shuffling kids, cooking, doing PTA or anything but spending time on God or on yourself?  The demands of every day life keep us running beyond the day and well into the night.  Joy  is found in experiencing the moment. Begin sharing it with God and then finding God and joy in your everyday activities. An uplifting sense will begin to emerge as you do and every day your life will seem lighter and brighter.  NO mor
