Simply Pondering

I have the start of a poem in my mind but I am awaiting the completion of it. I think it may take a little more inspiration or maybe it is just a short poem :) This week I was thinking about the different personalities in life. You probably noticed that in my last blog . We all have different ways of expressing what is in our hearts.

"The artist paints a picture, the composer writes a song Hands of compassion touch with tenderness the ones who are not strong" Cheryl :)

Those are only about 3 things out of hundreds , thousands, maybe millions of types of expression and even though a blind person may not see in the same way as we do by sight there is more than one kind of vision. A lady named Fanny Crosby way back in time the 1800's I think wrote some of the most beautiful hymns. One of them is Blessed Assurance and there is a line with the words in it "Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love." Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his most endearing works after he lost most of his hearing. I find that amazing. The beauty we can't always see with the eyes is felt in the compassion and love of others.

Things have been really busy around here between the kids, grandkids, dogs new puppies and helping friends move. Today I took things slowly and I got a little done I desperately need to in the house but there is more to do. This above is a short blog I posted on Multiply recently. I hadn't been going there but I decided to peek in and it's still less complicated to me than the blogger and googleplus. I enjoy the ease of changing my backgrounds as well. I noticed people on here have different backgrounds that I haven't seen on the pages that I go to over blogger but then I have not had a lot of time lately. Part of me just feels so tired right now. I am not even sure if it's physical or emotional. Every single weekend is so busy anymore that I am praying a quiet one comes up where there is nothing that needs to be done nor grandchildren who need to be watched (PLEASE DON"T GET ME WRONG! I LOVE MY FAMILY!) I am just so tired! I had to clean out the puppy box again today and Nanook just watched without getting too nervous about me holding all her puppies. There is a lot of clean up to do. She has the job of caring for all 8 of them and feeding them but it takes a lot of time since I do have the dogs out in the family room for now. Nanook is always hungry and I can see why ! Tomorrow I want to try and get some more photos. They are growing fast. I can't wait till they open their eyes! If you haven't noticed on my googleplus page I posted an update on my friend Barbie. Bittersweet news is that she is home with Jesus cancer free now, pain is gone. Pray for her husband Mark. Thank you folks! Love and blessings, Cheryl
