Just now as the night is beginning to settle on the fading day light I looked up and saw the moon partly lit up so bright white . Almost like a night light to lift part of the darkness away from the comming night time hours. I know sunday night it is going to be cold and my pain will flare up and the moon reminds me that even in those times there is a light to brighten my dark . It may be hidden behind clouds but it is there .
DM God always reminds us if we pay attention and are looking

I heard a little noise coming from the next room over... I know no one uses that room so I went to see what was up...

My two oldest nieces were in there trying on their prom dresses so that grandma (my mom) could pin them up so she could make them fit just right.

What a beautiful sight!!! I can still remember seeing these two for the first time.

What a beautiful reminder to cherish little ones and little moments for they grow up so fast....

God I love those girls!!!

It is Sunday morning, and I am once again finishing up preparations for a lesson in my church. God is clearing the fog and giving me insights into life so that I may be a better person. Here is one of the thoughts that I'm using on some scriptures related to contention. In this political day and age, with General Petraeus visiting congress, I wish some of our leaders would be as Abraham Lincoln:

The old story, presumably authentic, is told that during the Civil War when the fortunes of the Union armies, under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant, were going badly, some concerned ministers called on President Abraham Lincoln at the White House and forcefully urged the dismissal of Grant. To these men Lincoln is alleged to have said: 'Gentlemen, General Grant has under his command all that we hold dear in this nation. Instead of criticism, you too should get down on your knees and pray God that He would see this nation through to victory'.

The sun is bright, the sky is blue and it's supposed to be in the low 70's today. I love it. I took my poochies out this morning and literally yelled up to the sky, Thank you Father for this beautiful, new Spring day.

Thank goodness I live out of town.

My perennials are poking through the ground, so the harsh Winter didn't stop them. God was showing me HE is still working hard to renew the land. It's just wonderful. I love SPRING.

I saw God in a tear that rolled down my friends face and I saw God even more when my friend smiled .The smile was brighter then the sun itself and warmmed the whole room. together those two things reminded me of God ,and how crying can be like rain feeding thirsty new spring flowers.

out in the windy chill I watched a cardinal hopping in my back yard peecking around by the bushy hedge . the hedge a wall from the wind it found a snack and then flew off. It was a color dance of feathers as it flew . A free sight for me from you know who on days like today when I cant go outside. . and if not just for me well lets pretend it was .

God's work has been evident to me today. A brother to one of my church friends was recently diagnosed with cancer cells in his bloodstream. I'm not that sure, but guess it's different than leukemia. He was told that he would need chemo, possibly as many as 4 rounds, and most likely a bone marrow transplant. After completing his first round of chemo, they did repeat bloodwork. Doctors were in total shock as there was zero signs of any cancer cells!!!!! Art asked the dr, "so this miracle means I can go back to work and I'm done?" LOL Drs still want to do weekly bloodwork and another scan, but we've indeed seen the power of prayer!!!!

I went to the doctor today... no biggie there... I left and decided to take the long way around to get back to the house.

I rounded the corner passing the place where a friends office is located. Might I add that this was quite a while after she normally leaves for the day. I saw her putting things in her vehicle.... I decided to buzz through the parking lot and just say hi...

I don't know if this makes sense...but I beleve God put her there at that time today...for a reason.

So this is my I saw GOD today... if not him... his actions. I think I needed to see my friend today.

I did my first relay for life last night. I almost didnt want to go because I am having a bit of sad time but I went and had the most funnest time I have had all dang year. I didnt see Gods work but I felt like God was right there with his arm around me leading me around. I ran into a doctor who worked on me after my accident. we have not seen eachother since I had my steel plates put in over 9 years ago and he took stand for me in court. We had such a good long chat. And the relay was sooo beautiful with all the candles lit along the walk lap area. Not one person there was a stranger they were all so friendly and like around 3 when most were chilling napping under the near full moon I got out my pen and wrote a poem. No I didnt see God but I surely felt him and still do... feel so uplifted Thanks big guy up there.

Hi everyone~ I didn't "see" God today, but I am so happy. A friend announced in church today that according to the almanac, today is HAPPY DAY. We have been on pins and needles worrying about whether our Pastor would be appointed to another church.

We are a small church and can't afford "seasoned" Pastors too long. So, he announced today that he is 99% sure that he will not be leaving for at least another year. The reason I am so relieved is~ He is one of the most compassionate Ministers and as a person, so caring. He was with us all through my Mother's illness and passing, besides being very ill at the time himself. He has been there for me and my family. He presided over my DD's wedding and is just an amazing spiritual man.

I just wonder if God knew our little congregation needed him a while longer.

For whatever reason, I am soooo thankful.
