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.

  1. Beautiful post my friend. We all need a lot more prayer in our lives. It's good to hear from you.

  2. 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.

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

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

  5. 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.

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

  7. 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 after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
