I haven't posted lately because I'm on vacation!  Having a great time with my family.  This is a real treat to me, since I'm a widow and have no blood relatives within a 400 mile radius. So I don't get to see relatives unless I visit them or they me, which is about a twice a year thing.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself, because to be quite honest, God has given me the grace to actually like my peaceful and tranquil home. Of course I get  lonely at times, but trust that God knows all about it and will tip me off when He wants me to move closer to family. So until then I enjoy my time when I am with my family and treasure every moment.

Everyday has been busy, shopping, eating, at the pool, eating, sight seeing, eating, museum, eating, visiting historical houses, and of course eating!  LOL!  We aren't pigging out, but it has been nice to let the restaurants do the cooking.

I will be posting pictures when I get back. Thanking the Lord for the privilege to enjoy some time of rest and refreshing.

I'm so glad you're getting to visit your dear family, Veronica! Thank you also for welcoming our new Bathroom Diva! If you get a chance and could talk some of your relatives in to it - you all could snap for me. Doesn't have to be the bathroom just a mirror. I'm mentioning this just in case you want to be daring on your vacation. See you when you get back.

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seekin...

Sunflowers...

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It's what the sunflowers do.” -Helen Keller While riding around in my neighborhood I noticed that many yards and gardens were adorn with beautiful sunflowers. They stood tall and cheery above all the other plants and flowers with their bright yellow "faces" seemingly bathing in the summer sun...they make me smile.  So even though I did not plant any sunflowers in my yard or garden I did do a bit of decorating with some faux. (will attach pics at the end of this post.  But for now here are some facts about this cheery fun flower ...   •The stem of a sunflower can grow up to 10 ft tall and the flower head can be 11.8 in wide. •Sunflowers are very fast growing plants, in the right conditions they can grow 8-12 feet tall in six months. •As of 2012, the Guinness World Record for the tallest sunflower is 27 ft for a sunflower grown in Germany. •Famous Dutch painter Vi...

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more co...
