Memories....

Once upon a time and they all lived happily ever after! I am not going to eat that meatloaf! I like it! I like it! They grow up so fast. Treasure every moment. Inhale and breathe in their scent. Kiss their tears. Stroke their hair. Hug them silly. Scream silently. Smile constantly. Love incessantly. Treasure every moment. For now and eternity. They grow up so fast. And then they are gone.

Maybe...

Maybe today I will write that letter. Maybe today I will bake those cookies. Maybe today I will talk to my kids. Maybe today I will learn how to knit. Maybe today I will take time for me. Maybe today I will turn off the tv. Maybe today I will learn Spanish. Maybe today I will sign up for that class. Maybe today I will tell my husband how much I love him. Maybe today I will tell my friend the most important thing in my life. Maybe today I will let the world know that life isn't worth anything unless you Know HIM. Maybe today I will let go of my fears. Maybe today I will take that risk. Maybe today I will reach out to the needy. Maybe today I won't yell at my daughter. Maybe today I will be more patient. Maybe today I will stop saying maybe and do it before I don't have anymore todays.

Sometimes the answer from God is silence...

and it doesn't mean that He isn't listening. It means that He is God and He doesn't want to say anything at this time. He is the one who made us and He doesn't owe us an explanation for anything. I grew up knowing about God from childhood. My grandma was a prayer warrior who was a bitty little thing and a strong breeze could blow her over. She was physically frail but spiritually a mighty giant. She introduced me to God, to prayer and to faith. It was as natural to her as breathing. I loved her dearly and wanted to have what she had. I wanted to have her faith and believe in the God she knew. So at some time at a very young age I got to know Him and He became mine. He has been the center of my life and I cannot imagine how anyone lives without Him. When Sarah was born, I prayed and believed she would be healed. I truly believed but I never saw it. She died and she was finally healed in heaven. My prayers weren't answered my way. I had to give her up since she was ne...

Neopets

Have you ever been to Neopets.com. It is a virtual world with pets and stores and games and fun. My daughter introduced it to me 40 months ago and I am the one in the family who still visits it regularly and enjoys it. I like it because I can escape for a few minutes and play or read or have fun. I highly recommend it for kids and adults. Tonight I watched Lorelai and Luke come to terms with their breakup. They belong together and now will have learn some lessons before they can reunite. I am talking about Gilmore Girls one of my favorite tv shows. It is a Tuesday night experience that us girls share. My husband usually works that night so we kick back and enjoy it. I have a lot of fun watching. We bond and discuss and we even got our dog's name from the show. Logan is one of the hot guys on the show. Well time to clean up and say good night. Good night.
