I Am Back!


It has been awhile hasn't it? Life has been rather different lately. The past month or so has been challenging and full of changes. I am thankful that the God I serve has it all under control. I don't know what today might bring but I am confident that since the Lord knows the number of hairs on my head, He will walk through the day with me. I will invite him into my home, I will ask him to set next to me in the car, and if I go out to eat by myself I will invite him to share my table. If he has something to say to me today I don't want to miss it!


And how have you been?

Changes

As I was sitting watching Masterpiece on PBS last night I was also writing in my journal about how when my sister comes home from the hospital this week, life will change, again. I wont have as much freedom as I've had these past several weeks, I will once again be taking care of a loved one. But we are claiming that this is all just temporary, as most of lifes challenges are.

The giveaway will still happen this coming week!

I'm Challenging You To Do Something


It may not be much of a challenge for me, but for some people it is......April is National Card and Letter Writing Month.


According to a survey, who it was done by I have no idea but it sounds about right....most of us get a mood boost when we receive a handwritten note because it shows you're making an effort to reach out.


I'm going to take a couple of weeks to cut back on my personal e-mail, ( heck don't get much of that either, most of it is Forwards of some sort ) and cut back on my FACEBOOK and concentrate a little more on sending some personal notes and/or letters. Even if it is to someone I see all the time I'm still going to take a few minutes and write a few lines of encouragement or just say "hi".


So lets take the challenge......send a note or letter the old fashioned way during the month of April. It doesn't take much more time than it does to send an e-mail. And who cares if your handwriting is terrible? Or if it hurts to hold a pen which I can sort of relate to, print a note off your computer. Find an envelope, address it, put a stamp on it ( use those stamps so the Post Office doesn't go out of business! ) and there ya have it! You are most always on the go, so it shouldn't be to hard to find a mailbox. If not, put it in your house mailbox and your carrier will take it with him/her!


Go on, make someones day.....make them smile when they see something other than a bill in the box!


Don't forget......giveaway coming soon!

Some Thoughts

I've been sitting at the computer a little longer than I should be this morning. I said to the cat awhile ago, "why am I sitting here, I've got things I should be doing." She just looked at me and started to take yet another bath. I'm saddened by the big 'health care' vote, but I'm not giving up hope. However, God isn't going to take it lightly that we are including abortion in 'health care'. May He continue to have mercy on us all. Oh a lighter note, I'm getting a haircut today! I got one not to long ago and I'm just not happy with it, so I thought......I'm entitled to another one!

The clothes are in the dryer, the dishes have been washed, the sun is shining, the cat is sleeping in the sun and God is still on the throne! I'm content.

Question for you

Well we experienced one nice spring day here this week. Back to rain, and cool and gloom, but at least the robins are back! What is your favorite part of Spring?
