remember the sabbath...

and keep it holy...

we are given all that we need from the Father...

sometimes we just need to know that...

trust that...

believe that...

don't listen to fear and the thoughts we have about that...

its not the truth...

its not God's truth...

be blessed...

 

fibro friday...

Encourage each other...

 

cheer each other on...

keep each other safe...

it costs nothing to be kind...

I love this...

 

isn't this the most beautiful thought???

be blessed...

good morning...

hello!

we got a man down here...

dh was good until noon yesterday...

then the sore throat happened...

and a low fever...

body aches...

he went to bed at 9pm last night...

slept 10 hours...

is a bit better today...

tis the season...

have good days...

be blessed...

 

hope your day is good...

we have a lovely, sunny day...

my guy is out working on the walnut problem...

so he can mulch leaves and pick them up later...

he loves being outside and puttering around the yard...

it's something he has acquired...

it was always me outside...

in the dirt, in the weeds...

making things pretty...

he has learned to find his peace out there...

it took a long time to teach him...

LOL

but he got it...

he doesn't have all the science to it...

but he tries...

and it keeps him busy and active...

even if his joints get sore now and then...

hope your day is full of sunshine and peace...

be well, be blessed...

 

confess...

 

what you say will come about...

complain, your world will crash...

rejoice in what God does for you everyday and reap the rewards of being grateful...

speak against the one is trying to steal your soul...

do not let him win...

be blessed...

hope your fall is going well...

 

November is coming on fast!

be well, be blessed!

sorry I am late today...

 

thought I did this earlier...

oh well...

hope your days were grand and full of joy...

be blessed!

give God what bothers you...

 

morning!

 

be blessed!

it's a learning process...

 

this life isn't easy...

trying to do the right thing...

but no matter how many times you fail...

just keep trying...

be blessed...

happy sabbath...

hope your week went well...

be blessed!

 

fibro friday...

 

especially on bad days...

He understands broken thoughts...

 a loss for words...

He knows...

just pray...

good morning...

 

have good days...

hello...

 

hope your day has been good...

mine started with a 911 call...

emts here just in case...

my dexcom g7 had a hissy fit...

told me I was low...

very low...

right before it went off the deep end...

malfunction...

the company is sending me a new one to replace tit...

was up most of the night watching it...

be blessed...

you are already blessed with what you need...

 

be happy where you are...

with what you have...

you don't need "what someone else has"...

there is purpose...

there is meaning behind God's love...

it's always the enemy telling you that your blessings are not enough...

embrace God's blessings!

always have a heart of gratitude...

there are those who wish for what you have...

be well, be blessed!

I am blessed...

 

we got rain!

its been months!

fall temps...

puddles...

the whole 9 yards!

thank you, Lord!

be blessed!

He picked you...

 

He knew you before you were born...

and He picked you to do something amazing...

find it, live it...

you did not happen by accident...

He has a plan for you...

embrace it...

accept it...

know that He knows you and loves you...

be well, be blessed...

fibro friday...

 

the only way to get through the days that are not perfect...

it with God...

and the only way to get through good days...

is with God...

let Him take this on...

any chronic disease...

any heartache...

any burden...

any kind of struggle at all...

is no match for Him...

be well, be blessed...

have good days...

 

be blessed!

enjoying your fall?

isn't October going fast?

still have way too much green around here...

not quite fall looking...

most of the farmers in our area finished taking in the crops yesterday...

field work is going on...

no rain delays...

no rush to beat the storms...

they just took it nice and easy...

I think we will decorate inside this weekend for fall...

and we keep it up until Thanksgiving is over...

be blessed...

 

morning...

 

isn't that the truth?

doing rescue for years, there have been many fur babies through here...

and we have kept our share of them...

they make life better...

have good days...

be blessed...

happy Monday...

 

we don't have a lot of fall going on here just yet...

drought conditions and warmer weather than normal...

just isn't turning the leaves, but they are falling slowly...

and all brown...

no fall colors...

puttering around in the house...

cleaning, organizing...

purging old things that have been replaced...

be well, be blessed...

I hope your day is special...

 

it's a wonderfully sunny day in the mid 70's...

perfect weather for me...

getting some things done this morning and about to do lunch and a nap...

have good days...

be blessed!

happy sabbath...

 

fall is a wonderful time...

a time to catch your breath...

between summer and winter...

and its always a good time to be thankful for all that God has given you...

be well, be blessed...

fibro fridays...

the only way I can manage the fibro and arthritis is with God's grace...

He sees me through the hardest of days...

the longest nights...

and gives me strength to endure it all...

and He blesses me with good days...

peace in the storms...

and joy in my heart...

I cannot make it any other way...

hold onto your faith...

hold onto His hand...

let Him guide you when you cannot see the path...

and let others know how good it is to follow Him...

be blessed...

 

nail a board over it...

 

I used to talk about doors all the time...

praising Him in the hallway until another one opens...

of letting go of the doorknob of the door God just closed...

He did it for a reason...

to save you...

to give you more...

you just don't always know why until you open the other door...

but there is a rule of not having two doors open at one time...

just nail a board over it so you can move on to what God has waiting for you!

be blessed...

the best thing you can do...

 

is to teach your children how to pray...

so they always have a friend with them...

no matter what is thrown their way...

took yesterday off...

working on some things here...

and I just needed a break...

be blessed...

enjoy today for what it is...

 

and make it better than you found it...

be blessed...

waiting on fall...

it hasn't shown up yet here...

and we missed some rain...

we are in a severe drought...

with a burn ban...

it's going to be one of those dull falls for us...

not much color when the rains don't come...

hope you have good days...

be blessed...

 

Morning!

 

I love this song...

it was one of the first ones that I remember as a kid...

I hope your days are going well...

and that you are blessed in all that you do...

fall is a wonderful time of the year...

have a fun time today...

hugs...

fibro friday...

 

and now I add...

will my wheelchair fit?

is it accessable?

are the bathrooms close?

can I take a shower, get dressed and go somewhere?

without my energy being gone before they load me in the van?

many times when you do see us out...

that is the only thing we are able to do in a day...

the rest of the time...

we are in bed...

on the couch...

just sitting...

because we used it all up...

and then someone says, well you look ok to me...

if you were that sick, you wouldn't be out running around...

you don't see the down days...

the hours of physical therapy we do...

the pain...

be kind to those who struggle...

we are people, too...

be blessed...

happy fall days...

we are still warm here...

got a few more days of hot before we get a little cooler...

nights here are cool...

almost no humidity...

going from 90 to into the 50s at night...

so we are running the ac during the day...

and have the furnace on at night...

I hope you find your joy in today...

ya know, you see what you look for...

be well, be blessed...

 

happy October...

 

September went by fast...

praying for rain and a slower pace here...

thankful for all we have...

God is so good...

hope you have a peaceful day...

be blessed...

every single day...

 

hope you have a good day...

hello there!

we have another week of hotter weather...

(not fall)

and we are so dry here...

in the drought zone...

there is a burn ban...

but the farmers are in the fields...

you can see the dust clouds for miles...

there have been a few field fires...

nothing close to us...

going to decorate this weekend for fall...

not doing much, but just a bit...

are you doing fall yet?

have good days...

be blessed...

 

are you broken...

He has a fix for that...

His light can heal all wounds...

His love can mend all hurts...

be blessed...

 

I am!

 

fibro friday...

 

you are still here!

 

love this...

keep going...

the rough spots don't last forever...

be blessed...

choose kindness...

 

good morning...

 

did you watch?

 

did you watch the Charlie Kirk Memorial?

I watched most of it...

what a spiritual event...

a holy event...

a sampling of all kinds of people who influence our lives...

a coming together of races, ages...

united...

singing gospel songs...

praising God together...

and those on the stage, talked about needing Jesus in your life...

God, Family, Country...

in that order makes your lives better, the country better, the world better...

opening talking about Jesus dying on the cross and that he rose again in 3 days...

unashamed...

the country watched...

the world watched...

God watched...

keep praying...

pray hard...

things are changing...

I saw all the faces as they showed the crowd...

all generations standing together...

all ages...

there is hope in that...

keep throwing love out there...

hold onto God with both hands...

be blessed...

I changed a thing yesterday...

comments are open to anyone...

remember to be nice...

be blessed... 

to those who never left my side...

 

I have had many friends through the years...

and most of them have come and gone...

only the very best have never left...

and it is a very small number...

I am so grateful for those who stayed...

today is our 42nd anniversary...

married to one of those who stayed...

;)

be well, be blessed and have a great day...

take care of each other...

 

how do you stop the darkness in the world?

in the hearts of those who cannot see beyond it?

you spread the light...

you share kindness with others...

you cover the void with love...

be blessed...

planting...

 

why do you plant seeds in the spring?

for flowers in summer?

why do you do that?

whatever made you think that those tiny little specks of seeds could ever be anything but little specks in the ground?

but you put them in the soil and keep them watered...

day after day...

week after week...

how do you know you will get flowers in the end?

isn't it an act of faith when you till the soil, pull the weeds and put the seeds in the ground?

that the cells in that seed have the knowledge to become a flower?

that will reproduce seeds for the next summer, too?

that you can do the same thing in God's garden...

that you can plant seeds of life, hope, love and redemption in a human?

that it takes steps to complete the process...

that we need to prepare our hearts for God's seeds...

we need to clear the weeds and plant seeds of His word in our hearts...

and in others, because there are many flowers in God's garden...

we need to feed the seeds, water the seeds...

make sure they are planted in the light...

so when harvest comes...

the blooms are there...

and they are making seeds to plant in others...

to share the light with the world...

humans need tending to...

especially in the world today...

we shall reap what we sow...

be blessed...

think about this...

 

just the thought that God values us...

that He loves us...

that He gave his son for us...

it's amazing...

be blessed...

thieves don't break into empty houses...

 

stay close to God...

a father protects his children...

be well, be safe, be blessed...
