Autumn Of My Life
SUMMER disappeared.
Disappointed that SPRING didn't stay long either and now SUMMER has vanished.
AUTUMN is demanding some attention.
AUTUMN falls across the landscape with a space heater at my feet.
AM STILL COLD. Weather is suppose to warm up this week before dipping again. Looking forward to this.
We went to a country wiener roast Sunday night. I cannot remember the last time we did this. Too long ago. Came home satisfied smelling like a campfire. As we drove Main Street, I could visualize Christmas lights on the downtown lamp poles. Right now as cold weather creeps in, all looks so bland. One of the nice things about Christmas decorations is the festive beauty.
It doesn't seem possible that a year has passed since orange Harvest/Halloween lights showed up. Will be shopping for a turkey and ham to store in the freezer until needed in November and December. Cannot believe how quickly this year has flown.
Warmer weather encourages opening the windows to listen to the birds as leaves twirl downward toward the ground. Taking a leisurely walk around the block. A casual drive with the windows down. Sweeping the front porch off and putting pumpkins out to celebrate AUTUMN.
Sigh.
Okay, I have to fold some laundry, move cook books out of here, make up the bed with clean sheets and rest. This past week-end took it out of me. I look forward to the week ahead and getting out of the house for the day. No doctor's appointments this week.
Praise the LORD.
I'm not going to do things the same way I did as a young woman. I can't and the desire to do so is slipping away from my old body.
AUTUMN.
This is the Autumn of my life,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
