I miss you Daddy and love you with all my heart, always and although it's been a year since you left us in the physical sense you are always with me and the love lives on.
Thank you for being such a hard working dedicated man of God . for loving me and all our family . I have been blessed by the best.
Sometimes I just need to close my eyes maybe not so much in a literal sense but in a way that I am not focusing on those things that bother me. Pet peeves, what a funny name to describe "things" It almost seems to imply that it's something that we take care of, feed, shelter , play with or let play over and over in our minds. Do we? Do I?
That is one reason I love this song. There is a choice to be made. "There is a river whose streams make glad," Psalms 46:4
There is a place of rest, joy and healing but we must make those steps forward focusing on the beauty and the grace of God's love and not dwelling on the negatives. God dwells, lives in a positive place, a place of light.
Job 33:28 ‘He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life shall see the light.’
Psalm 4:6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.
Psalm 18:28 " You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
Psalm 36:9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
Psalm 43:3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
Psalm 89:15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.
"There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
Psalm 97:11 Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
Psalm 104:1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
The holy dwelling places of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns."
Psalm 46:4,5
Isaiah 42:16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
Isaiah 60:19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
My prayer is to walk and to live in this light and to allow the positives of God's living Word to speak life and hope to the places in my emotions and mind that need healing.
The pictures are at at Lincoln Living Farm. My grandchildren were really enjoying the animals. I just love this place and I can't wait to visit it again. I'm ready for a nice get together at Lincoln. Spring and summer time fun and picnics. Yeah!
I meant to post my last blog in this location (sunlit pathway) but it's over in Sunlit Trail with a Dog which I have just recently started writing in so if you have time you can check it out at I'm not sure how it's going to work having the 2 places but it's something I am trying out just because I seem to post so much dog stuff. Have a great week everyone!
I know it makes no sense , the three D's in my title but I am determined I will get passed this, just not determined enough YET to not somewhat enjoy the lazy feeling.
Part of me says , "Get up and get going, just do it," and part of me just doesn't care.
May be part of it all is a lingering cold, bronchitis or I don't know what. I guess I should call the doctor but I keep thinking, a few more days. It will work out in time.
I joked with my husband that maybe I have developed an allergy to people outside of my own little home. Perhaps the Spring pollens are not helping. Southern Indiana is a bad place for allergies! I think I'm over this crazy cough until I get out and start coughing at the most embarrassing times or places. I cancelled out on a couple ladies outings, Bible Study & Prayer Connection. I've tried 2 weeks. I had to get up and take a walk to the water cooler both weeks and have a good cough. I tried to hold it back until my eyes started watering and my face grew red for lack of breathing . I wish for no one else to come down with this thing. I'm still getting outside walking my dog . We've been taking our time this week and not going so far, I often walk to the neighborhood park. She likes it there and we can cross over to the field and I take her leash off her and just let her wander awhile. She has been a good girl. It's OK to cough when no one is around to cough on. I cannot seem to get into housework as much as I need to. I can't get to the gym because I don't want to cough there. Two weeks of this is wearing me out but it is getting better than it was. Would a 5 hour energy drink help? Just kidding really or maybe not!
I'm still missing my Dad a lot. It comes in waves. I think just not feeling good isn't helping but May 16 is when I lost him last year. This is the month.
As of today May the first I am trying something different. I don't know if it makes any difference but since I have 2 blogs here one I never use I decided to dedicate it to stories and pictures about my beloved Nanook or just dog things in general. That doesn't mean I may not post things about here here too because I probably will since she has become part of my family! But here is the address to my dog blog if you care to look.
