Living by Faith -2009

The beautiful thing about this adventure called FAITH is that we can count on JESUS to never lead us astray. ............................."Charles Swindoll" …….This is a beautiful quote- one that we should always remember. Sometimes that is hard to do when you have lost a loved.......not really lost, but has gone on to their heavenly home. But it feels lost to the one left behind. The house is quieter, the 'power' to the TV is in MY hand, no one to bake for except me; and lets face it - I don't need it!! Meals are quiet, devotions are done alone; but I’ll then I have to say "Lord, lift me up and help me stand by faith!!  on Heavens table-land." These are words ifrom an old hymn, and are a comfort to me. Went to the funeral of my daughter's mother-in-law today, and it brings back memories again. Of course, the memories are always there, but sometimes they are tucked away and that is good. But the memories are soooo good-they keep you going. 
    Spring has finally arrived, and with a lot of sunshine and warmth- it is Wonderful!! The days are longer, and I must start walking to get in shape to go to Colorado with my son, Peter, and his wife and two of his daughters.. Alyssa and Abby.  I look forward to spending that time with them, and seeing God's handiwork! I have never been to Colorado and I am looking forward to that, too. A new adventure for me-  I did things I had never done before….it was a super trip!
Wonderful time of relaxing,  and finding out the bears got into the honey mmm
