Has a year really elapsed since posting? Where did it go? This has not been a particularly productive year for us but most certainly one of learning as well as leaning. Learning about weakness and strength ~ leaning on Him who never fails to lift us. A year of moving and returning, decreases and increases, trials and the overcoming of the same, sickness and recovery. More times than not I have felt Job's sorrow as well as his comforted recovery through the caresses of our Lord. I want to be able to say I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. For now I am till a work in progress, He the painter, I the canvas. Often I move and require a new canvas. When will I learn to leave the Master to His work?
Autumn spreads her glorious blush, awards us air crisp mornings leaving the concession of a whispered past and hope of rest then renewal. Hope, hope, hope.... I pray to never take this from anyone through words or actions.
The littles are already over comers, already standing solid in this walk of life. Truly, much can be learned through them if I will only see things through their eyes.
Being home in our mountains has been just one of His gifts to me this year. I am spoiled by His generosity. May I learn to be more grateful. I appreciate all your prayers and emails. Thanks eversomuch. *...*
Until next time....I share a few favorite things
The beginnings of fall...
Bridges...
Cozy shoes and sweaters...
Hand hewn corners...
Daddy helping his babies to breakfast...
Gathering eggs...
Playing wash...
Kitties sun snoozing on the sill ...
Playing games on a chilly afternoon...
Cozy beds...
Daddy's little huntress...
A reminder of Him on a quiet evening walk
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy--think about such things.
