I'm wondering when spring will be really be here as the weather here is so ambivilent.  It can't seem to make up it's mind.  The river is at flood stage and the wind has blown at 62 mile an hour.  This is very strange weather and I'm just wanting something predictable.  Oh, that's right we're talking about the weather.

I do know my roses are't ready to make any predictions.  The peonies are coming up and daffodils are in bloom.  Nothing even resembling a like rose bush has made a leaf  yet.  Well, I just know I'm looking forward to planting marigolds and zinnias and watching the rose bushes putting on their beauty.

Thanks be to God!!

Memories of the Holy Land

I've been watching The Chosen and it brings back memories of my travel to the Holy Land, already four years ago now.  I have always marveled at John's Gospel reading regarding the marriage at Cana.  As a child it was a lesson to me in obedience.  Jesus did as Mother Mary asked.  I know now and understand that is is much more than that.  It was just the beginning of the our salvation.  That journey for us begins with the Scrutinies in two weeks and the lessons they offer us on our journey with our Savior on His journey to His death and resurrection on Easter Sunday.

If you haven't watched The Chosen, please begin.  It's worth the journey.  And if you've not begun your Lenten journey, it's never too late to begin.

Cozy Kitty

On days when I get busy and stressed I'm reminded that I should take time to relax.  Simba is the one I can look to for a lesson in how to be cumfy and cozy!  He and his sister Nala are real treasures!

Thanks be to God!!

Sunrise

When the sun rises

There is glory in all creation

Speculation entices

To spend the day in appreciation

My goodness, it's been ages since I sat down with my computer to compose a post.  No excuses.  Just lazy I guess.  You'd think after all these years I'd have a lot to say.  Well, the truth is, I don't  have a lot to say.  LIfe is good.  Now I hope to share at times how good it is to me.  As the sunrise above attests, it is beautiful and it is appreciated!

So, until tomorrow, I say:

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Dependency

There are those times

When one must rely on help

Thanks be for that help

For the last several weeks I've been incapcitated.  It was elective surgery on my foot and I  had to stay in bed for two weeks.  Darned if that isn't really hard!  But now I'm up and at 'em.  

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!

Reflect seriously on what you desire to do; above all 

pray much that our dear Lord may make known 

to you what he wishes you to do.
