A new year, all those new days, fresh pages of life, just waiting to be filled. At the beginning of each new year I like to pick a word as a focus to my thought process for the whole year. After much thinking, this year I have chosen the word PEACE as in, "I am at peace with...." There are many words that are worthy of such a place in our minds, Blessing, Love, Joy, Thankfulness, Forgiveness and on I could go. What word would you choose?
I wish you the best year yet...full of love, laughter and joyful
peace.
What a difference a surgery makes! I've been in an incredable amount of life-altering-pain for the majority of this year, limiting me everyday. August 26, I had a total hip replacement and although it was no picnic- I'm on the other side of it and walking without a walker. I'm using a cane only sometimes and that's getting to be less and less. I thank the Lord for seeing me through AGAIN!
By the way -I have a beautiful new granddaughter! She was born July 17 and is just soooo cute! She looks like her mama. After having four little boys I wondered how my dear daughter-in-law would dress her. She has a lovely sense of just the right thing for sweetpea to wear. I hope to share, with pictures, before long.
It is a cool Fall day here in Oklahoma and it's suppose to freeze tonight...that means bringing in some plants and a 9 foot Ficus tree which florishes on the patio all summer. The tree gets trimmed and stays inside for about 5 months until the danger of frost is gone again in the Spring. I love the change of seasons that living in Oklahoma allows me to experience.
The beauty of Fall makes the comforts of home so pleasant. A hot cup of tea, a soft chair, my bible to read and the fireplace
a glow. All so lovely and such simple gifts to be thankful for. I pray you are enjoying the beauty of Autumn wherever you are too.
A new year, a clean slate. I'm always excited to start the daily Bible reading schedule again, checking off the days as I go. January 1st reminds me to once again give thanks to the ONE who has blessed me with life and the gift of time. May I devote all my days to Him. God Bless you all!
On another note: I spent New Years Eve in Branson, Missouri compliments of a local "oldies" radio station. I won tickets to Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theatre with buffet dinner and two nights at Ramada Inn. I invited some girl friends from church and off we went last Sunday afternoon. It was a hoot! Life is good!
Neat! We won tickets to a play once in Seattle. I think the fact that we won the tickets made the experience even more fun. It made it more spontaneous, we never would have planned on going to see that play, but we enjoyed it!
…”Consider the lilies (wildflowers) of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin: and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Matthew 6:28 & 29
I am a wildflower so to speak- one who attempts daily to solely depend upon God. He knows what I need and promises to take care of me. He tells me to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and He will provide for me --and for you. I believe Him and I hope my life thus far is a testimony of such.
I am like many whose lives are in transition and change. I find myself wanting answers to my questions that only God has the wisdom to know. I am comforted when I remember that my God is taking care of things for me in the best way possible.
As I share little bits of myself and my faith on my first Pleo post
I hope to be of encouragement to you. May God Bless you--- all wildflowers.
Just dropped by to say hello again. I wish I could do this kind of thing in person instead! :)
It was wonderful to see you, I already look forward to my next visit to OKC.
