Time Out
Working at the COTTAGE this evening as the birds are chirping so loud it reminds me that NATURE IS ALIVE AND WELL in this little corner of the world. We worked like crazy to clear out our storage unit and relocate boxes into our HOME.SWEET.HOME across the county line.
We didn't have it in us to unload the truck all on the same day so we didn't. The next day all the strength was gone in my hands and my body gave out. The next day my Husband told me to rest, so I slowed my pace way down. As boxes were brought into the screen-in porch, Lil Miss took over and carried boxes into the house. She worked like an adult. I started going through boxes.
All the boxes were in the house when we returned to the COTTAGE to pick up more boxes that were in the house, lawn furniture, and some heavy urns with ferns. A miracle happened. Daughter and her new Husband with a stepson started loading the boxes, etc. onto the moving van. Then unloaded items at the new location. We had our mattress and boxsprings to sleep on at the new bedroom.
I am so very thankful that this took place. We are closer to being moved in. HAVING FAMILY to help was a huge blessing. HUGE BLESSING. God bless them real good.
This morning I went through more boxes. Each box contains surprises as I don't know what's in them. SURPRISE!!!
It's time to rest and regain my strength. I don't know how my Husband does what he does. We're not in a race to see how much we can out-do one another, but he wins hands down. I have to sit and catch my breath so much. My back starts to go out and I HAVE TO REST.
Pacing myself is necessary. Amen.
If I give us an opportunity to be realistic in saying it will take an entire year before we are back to somewhat normal....then I think that it will take a whole year to be somewhat normal. I am certain that we cannot get there any sooner.
A great gift is allowing TIME,

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

TEACH us
to number OUR days,
that we may apply our HEARTS

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
