This is the Day!

-
Glorious Monday Everyone! What a way to start the day with your home alarm system going off! Well it was my fault actually...forgot to turn it off BEFORE I let the dogs out to do their business...that'll do it for sure...wake you up real fast 😁 ! However since I don't move quite as fast as I once did , I apparently didn't get to it quick enough to stop the process of setting things in motion. PLUS my landline phone was down (thanks a lot Comcast) so when the alarm company called to verify, the call went straight to voice mail. I can't make this stuff up.

 Needless to say it was an embarrassing time of standing out on the front porch in all my morning regalia (rollers in hair, mix matched pajamas and robe, bare feet) with my royal court of 2 Chihuahuas barking and snarling in the window)while I explained to the very nice police officers about how I didn't get to the alarm in time to shut it off. I apologized that I hope I did not spoil their day...I hope they knew I meant by making them come to a false alarm and not by having to gaze at my rather disheveled and scary appearance LOL! 🤡 So that is what started my day...but after that "event" I noticed the beautiful cloudless blue sky and thought "What a lovely day." The beauty in the day has nothing to do with me, but all in the fact that God made it and has allowed me to have a part in it! So lesson learned: Remember to turn the alarm off BEFORE you put the dogs out, even if they are dancing for release...

 Too bad it wasn't this easy to bounce back a couple of weeks ago when my Carbon Monoxide alarm went off (and continued after replacing batteries) and AFTER the arrival of 2 firetrucks, an ambulance, a police car and about 10 workers showed up...all because I needed to replace my old Carbon monoxide alarms...talk about embarrassing...it took me a couple of days to work through that...BUT that's another story for another time! Have a wonderful day y'all!

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 “seeking” for God’s will in his life

 " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;    and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4: 6-7 "BAM" is what I loudly heard as my car jolted forward! Sitting at the light waiting on it to turn to green, it was the last thing I expected to happen, never saw it coming. Yet it did...and loudly! The first thing I did was look in my rear view mirror and sure enough, it was not a dream, there was a car right on the back of me. I had about 60 seconds to get myself together, put the car in park, and though my heart was beating about 1,000 beats a minute...I said to myself "ok". To be honest with you, I didn't think to pray a long prayer, because in times like these, you really only have the time and ability to say one word "Jesus"...and for me it was enough.  A calmness came ove

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 compassion, instead o
