Nearing the close of Focus on Blessings 2,
it is good to reflect on the reason we ponder
that which has come blessedly into our lives
for a moment
just a flicker
even a blink of an eye
or,
maybe,
just maybe,
far longer....into days, weeks, or more.....
Blessings - the phenomena of feeling in the moment
better for having experienced
fulfilled for having known
joyful just because
perhaps at peace
and
maybe God was behind it all
maybe another whom you know had a part
maybe family created joy, co-workers kudos, a passer-by smiled
then
you knew you had been blessed
I feel it
so very often
and it is infectious
seeming viral in the ability
to grasp ahold of others and take them unawares
into fields of flowers of gratitude fed by gentle raindrops of nurture
and it is impossible to avoid the heartwarming peace which overwhelms
for THIS is blessing.

I feel blessed YOU chose to read this today.
I feel blessed we are allowed to share openly in this place.
I feel blessed care is abundant, whether medical, familial, friend or labor
there is blessing in all of it.

Open your heart and experience the feeling of Blessing.
Come.
Read.
Lurk.
Write.
Share.
Know what blessing is because You walked the earth and related to others.
Cool, isn't it?

Thank you for another day

Dear Father
Blessings are to see
and watch carefully your
Grandchild still be happy
Even though mom struggles
All I can do dear Father is pray
and can see that life isn't fair
However we see the tunnel
The road
The ride
In the moment
When you are filled
With awesome God
Is the Great I Am
Seek and you will find
The Great I Am
In constant work
I
Blessed to have been
appointed the duty of
Motherhood

Blessed to have been a
Influence to the children
I raised from birth
From a woman I do not
understand no more stress
There
My baby having to take charge
and see the bigger pictures
That God has a purpose for
her birth
I am appointed the job
the hardest job in the world
To raise my children
The value of belief
Trust in faith
Trust yourself to be
Honest truthful as it really is
Assess the situation as you ask God
for guidence
For the 10 commandments
is a beginning
If unsure reach up to The Lord
you have carried me so many times
And I know without your guidence
you're prayers the stories the spiritual
experiences when it hit you walked this earth
Died for us
Arose for us
To sit at the right hand
our Father
I believe
Mother Mary
Blessed us with his birth
Amen
Thank you for a place of
allowing us to have blessings
every single day
I must be vigilant in all that is true
Life is not fair
It is the way it is for reasons
Unbeknownst to us
The blessing is in the faith
I have for my Father

How many would feel Blessed to get to throw a baseball around with their spouse? I did today....gotta report though HER arm is far better than mine now. I had no clue what the nerve damage would do to fine motor skills and aim of a ball, let alone strength. Even so, it was fun, and invigorating.

Now That is a BLESSING. Yup,

Mark you rock!!

Another day
another opportunity to BE.
Not so bad in the context
of living through pains we endure, eh?
We may reach out
and touch someone of significance
and say
thank you for Being

Sweet,

sweet it is
thank you for
being
me

Unfolds the Blessing of You BEING....
Ahhhh.... yes,
you Bless us all.

what a beautiful place
to be
in our ups and downs

we are reminded of your work
while on this earth as a human
and believe you rose from
the dead still with his life for US
to never forget

at the right hand of the Father

and remember we are Gods

my granddaughter recites the "Lords
Pray" and soon to be three
how awesome is that

i think i'm on to somthing

Father Wednesday i go to a new doctor
to rule out osteomyelitis or metastatic disease
upon looking at my myelogram has found at L4 and L5
there is severe degenerative disc decease with loss of disc height, vacuum disc phenomenon, endplate sclerosis and productive osterophayte formation also a posterior disc bulge witch results in mild central canal stenosis and causes mass effect on the left L5 auxiliary sleeve
than i look at my most recent MRI
and at L3 and L4 hemangioma of the L3 vertebral body
a long inferior endplate of L3 and superior aspect of L4
there are adjacent degenerative endplate changes
there is mild right paracentral disc bulge also
a marked narrowing of right neural foramina
at L4 and L5 there is servere narrowing with adjacent endplate changes and there is mild facet orthrosis

so,

does anyone else see where i am going
my hemangioma just might be the lurking culprit
oh my goodness
now i will not rule out the possibility of it
being cancer a very small chance
as i am gaining weight
look healthy
and what more can i say
how ironic i pull my test that shows
the above

sweet Mother Mary
Amen

this i will bring to the doctor this week
oh goodness
could i be right
it makes sense
will have to wait and see
with the new doctor

i ask please Lord
hear our prayers
in Jesus i Trust
to all

Blessed
thankful
joyful
love filled
Blessed
