Day #19 of Thankfulness

19 Nov

Reaching to the archives this morning. When the grief was fresh and the season of gratitude upon us. When cancer reared it's ugly head. We stood on the only rock that matters. Strength and hope graced our every move. Such a firm foundation. Deep gratitude this morning for eyes to see how we were carried. May your day be rich and full today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHEN THE WIND BLOWS AND THE HOUSE SHAKES. . .

It’s Today! Day #18 of Thankfulness

18 Nov

Today's the day! (Clarissa and I on our way home for Thanksgiving 2015) The college girl comes home. I can't wait. We've been cleaning and vacuuming. She has really bad allergies and the farm boy's dog is a little much for her. Combined with the fact that cleaning is not my favorite task; the house makes her a mess! So, my farmer got us a new HEPA vacuum. The farm girls LOVE using it. Win, win for everyone! I've been baking and planning. I want everything to be perfect for her arrival home. I want to take care of her and drink copious amounts of coffee around that farmhouse ... View Post

Have You Been Recording Your Gratitude? Day #17 of Thankfulness

17 Nov

We've had a lot go wrong lately. It makes one weary and a little on edge. Waiting, so to speak for the next ax to fall. So when the good comes, sometimes it's hard to enjoy. Really. It can be work. Teaching yourself how to accept good. I know there are good things all around. We just need to look. Train ourselves to see the good. Each day reaching for gratitude. Ann Voskamp began this journey of Gratitude. Before I knew the intense grief of the loss of my mom, son, cancer, 2 dear friends and now my dad. I delved into this practice. Ann Voskamp challenged me to the core. “I want ... View Post

Did You Have the Best Day Ever? Day #16 of Thankfulness

16 Nov

It makes a difference. Choosing to have the best day ever. Things weren't perfect. But I worked to make them better. I prayed. I kept my mind focused on things eternal. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. A deep sense of peace filled my being. Because God honors our desire. He longs to walk the journey with us. The sun shone gloriously. On a mid November morning I hung laundry to dry (not freeze dry). Guests in the Guest House sent a message that they would like to make us dinner. Late in the afternoon the ... View Post

The Best Day Ever Day #15 of Thankfulness

15 Nov

What if we woke and said,"This is going to be the best day ever!" What if we chose to not let one thing ruffle us today? How would our day be if we gave and gave throughout the day? If we looked beyond our own needs. How would the day look, if we looked to the interest of others before ourselves? Every decision was made to benefit another. The best day ever. It's the best day not because it all went well. It's not the best day because we were successful and received much. It was the best day because we stepped aside and let God do His work. Everything may have gone wrong. But it ... View Post

My Eyes Flutter Open To Moon Light Day #14 of Thankfulness

14 Nov

I  open my eyes. The moon light illuminates all in my room. I lay there for a moment. I breathe deep the start of a new day. Even after three years it is still so hard. It is still my first thought when my eyes flutter open. It is still a weight I carry every day. As I lay there, I gaze at that moon. It is truly beautiful. So large. Bright. Soothing. The message at church spoke of light. Light; illuminating the darkness. Jesus was that light. He came. Humble. Strong. Preaching a message of hope. I grab my coffee and turn on the fire. There is a bit of a chill in the ... View Post
