GOSH......I remember when I was a kid and heard that the Kansas weather changes faster than you can shake a stick at it. Just wait a minute or so and the weather will change. Freezing one minute...burning up the next. Kind of like menopause. Ha. Some of you know what I am talking about.
LIFE seems a lot like the KANSAS weather. BIG SURPRISES along the way of LIFE. Sometimes these are not so nice to experience and then wham you get hit with something else.
Right this minute I need a HOLIDAY. I know... I know CHRISTMAS is coming, but I mean a holiday where I can get refreshed and refueled. Ready to take the day on. This CHRISTMAS it will a simpler one as I detoured on the decorating, baking, festivities, gift shopping, etc.
MAY YOU ALL HAVE A PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS.I will be thinking about the birth of JESUS and LIFE EVERLASTING. Everlasting.
The mysteries of LIFE still exist. Just keeping it real...I will pray for blessings.
It's SNOWY on this Sunday afternoon and I LIKE IT! I am at HOME and resting. My Holiday will be right here at HOME.
THIS year coming will be occupied with taking inventory of all of our possessions to where I hopefully can say, "Well done." I would like to have a better grasp on what we have. Including the garage.
GOSH....I have hopes of being better organized, sew a little, draw a little and write that book I have notes on waiting for real direction as a matronly woman wanting to see a book in print.
Dear Hubby hung two Kitchen cabinets to the right of the kitchen sink in RETIREMENT COTTAGE. I will now have a place to place drinking glasses and coffee cups. A beautiful black and white framed KITCHEN saying was given to me and Dear Husband hung it with a white shelf we had to the left of the sink. I placed a black and white COW figurine on it along with coffee cups that have Grandchildren images on them.
I unwrapped some SHANNON CRYSTAL that was purchased the other day from a wonderful THRIFT SHOP. I looked on the internet and found these same glasses at Bed, Bath and Beyond. So if I want to add to the set I can check them out. The Dublin pattern seems to be pretty popular. I LIKE IT! and affordable.
We watched a movie on regular television, BIG GAME. It was a thriller. Few curse words, no nudity, but much violence. Then we watched THE CROWN where it shows the KILLER SMOG of December 7, 1952. I had never heard of it. This was also the day my Grandfather died. While my Grandmother lost her Husband and my Dad lost his father....on the other side of the world about 4000 people would die from SMOG. Smoke plus fog = SMOG. I learned about smog and how that word was formed. Truly I did not know where that word came from.
Let's rejoice that we can continue to learn stuff about stuff.
Well...you can teach an old dog a few new tricks and it's not even Halloween.
Dear God, This is a reality about LIFE that we do not know all the mysteries concerning LIFE and what your timing will be. May we lean on you for help, embracing trusting you and know that you turn what wasn't so great a thing that happened to us into good
to those that love you and are called according to your purpose.
As CHRISTMAS approaches...may we call on your name for comfort and good will.
Love you.
In Jesus Name I pray,
amen.
Can I get an AMEN?
d
Romans 8:28King James Version (KJV)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
