My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We had my father's service on Saturday, so this is all very fresh to me... God be with you and your father in your time of sorrow....

Have you ever.....

Three things come to mind...... The first was when I was 12-13 yrs old...around that time. It wasn't new years....it was summer break....I had nothing I needed to do...too soon for me to work..I had decided not to waste another summer. I had lined up 6-8 self-help books which I had planned to systematically go through over the summer...and they would improve my life for the better....I had an outline as to what to do each day... And I made it about 3 days....then my mother knocked on my door one morning, and informed me that she had counted on me helping her with things over the summer. And she essentially knocked me off-line. I just dropped my plan....and had nothing to replace it, because she didn't have a plan, either....she never gave me anything to do.... 
More than 4 decades later, I realize that I can make all the plans I wish....yet it doesn't matter. In December, I decided to start each day with prayer, every day for the remainder of my life. I ask Him to do what He Wills for me, and to do whatever is the very best for me that day. Because I have such a limited perspective. He sees the big picture....He sees all of humanity, and He sees Eternity. I can't see beyond the smudges on my glasses...to put a today's perspective on a centuries-old saying..... We all have a limited time on planet Earth....and we all build something. Some of what we build will last...most will not. I feel I have wasted decades on this planet, and my desire is now to build something which will last for eternity...... which is why I no longer will make New Year's resolutions.... |

I was a young adult....and the church we attended stated that we should not make new year's resolutions, but rather should make a prayer list.
Somewhat strange, yet I understand that it is important to make something your goal and carry through. And I think that the point was that God has the wisdom to choose what is best for us, and the power to carry it out, whereas we don't always choose wisely, and most of us can't stick to our programs long enough to achieve observable, much less life-changing results... |

Worry

That is ohh, sooo related to the message I heard at church this morning!
(I was only able to be there because my father died this week, we had his memorial yesterday, and I took the weekend off work because of that. I would have been at work, had this not happened at this particular time....so I think I was really in need of hearing this particular message at this time...) Luke 12:22-23 says that God will always supply the essentials for His people. vs. 24-31 go on to give examples, and to state that our human efforts, apart from God, will not get us far...and that worry is of no use. A quote which I thought worth jotting down this morning,and for which I wish I had documented the source, is: "Worry adds no value to your life. It shreds you from the inside out." And all I can say is that I must have really needed to hear this today. Because He arranged it, and because it speaks to my heart. |

Hi everybody...
I will be here off and on for the rest of the day. So far it has all been good today... My brothers headed home, and we were on good terms. I was able to attend church, which is always good.... I just got off the phone with a cousin whom I had not spoken to in the last 2 years.....we talked for 100 minutes... I have an unplanned day off work, I have no deadlines, I have the house to myself, since the children had other plans... I can do whatever I want !!! Now how often does that happen?!! The possibilities are endless....

No thanks necc. BEEN there, done that, several times. I just helped with time & muscle. and heart.. You are absolutely right, Sadie. I got interrupted by a phone call before I could add my 2 cents, then had to leave. so will say it now: and with caring, compassion, and invaluable support, taking time out from work that you couldn't really afford to... and I do thank you and appreciate what you have done !

Update, was a nice service for Jan's dad, yesterday. She has her family around, for a bit, helping. Good morning everybody My brothers just left....they said they thought things went well and thanked me for arranging everything And I would like to also thank Don for all his help. Without him things would have been much less pleasant and relaxing for all of us. THANK YOU

yeah you will need me time for sure Jan. Something I haven't taken the time for in a long time. I plan to get my father's things, and mine....in order this next couple months..... and then who knows what life will hold? It will be good...that's all I know...
Good for you and you've got a good attitude too! If i commit to this now, while I am feeling positive, then I just need to remember what I decided during the times I don't feel as positive..... so I'm telling you now that I AM going to do this...
