IN THIS SEASON OF DARKNESS.................................



It seems as though there is nothing positive that is being shared in the news of the world as of late.  This can cause one to pause and reflect on our situation.

Music lover that I am, I often seek solace in song.  Yesterday I came across one of my favorite CD's....THE PRAYER CYCLE.  

It really does not matter who or what one prays to...I think it just matters that we PRAY.  When you pray...you believe there is hope....and all of us need hope.

This particular piece is about GRACE...I want to share it with you.

Father won't you carry me
For the ocean is wide
Father won't you carry me
For my boat is so small

Father on this moonless night
Help me cross the stormy sea
Out here in the darkness
Help me find my way back home

Father won't you carry me
For the ocean is wide
Father won't you carry me
For my boat is so small

When all appears lost and hope is on the wain......just Pray..

Me thinking out loud today.

    Satan is running wild and the only way we can find joy is in our faith and knowledge that He will carry us. This is beautiful.

    We all feel the need to be carried once in a while.

    This world is making me heartsick. It needs all the prayers that it can get. Every day seems worse and worse.

    No matter what we are going through in this life, Jesus/God has promised He would always be with us. He knows what we are going through, and we are to give all of our cares over to Him. Prayer changes things. He is the Light in the darkness.

    Sometimes I wish that I, once again, believed in prayers. What we need now are a few miracles.

    I am with Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe here. But am delighted with the miracle that saving the Thai boys was. And of the world-wide co-operation it took to achieve that miracle.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
