Personal reflections

CAME ACROSS THIS THE OITHER DAY. “EVERY DAY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE MIGHT BE THE DAY THAT SOMEBODY MIGHT WANT TO WRITE ABOUT SO PAY ATTENTION TO IT” Think that is just another way to remind each of us that we need to treasure every dat that God gives us to enjoy each other and all of God’s creation. Treasure this day and each other. Peace

Frances and I just returned from a quick trip to Hilton Head to celebrate our 37th anniversary. On our first night while on a walk we stumbled unto a place called the “Beer Garden”. There we became part of a large community gathering with parents. Young and old, a whole bunch of young children, every kind of dog you can think of , and of course lots of food, b**r and music. It was a wonderful gathering that reminded us of all the genuine goodness in this world. We could use more b**r gardens. Peace- and please vote.

I now have the great luck to be a small part of at least three generations of infants as they begin that wondrous journey which is life. I have observed the great joy a child experiences when they first recognize it is them that is making that sound. I have watched as they stumble to their feet and take that very first step. I have watched them become more and more confident as they interact with their world. I have watched as they greet a significant other who has been absent for a while. I have watched as they have grown into adult hood. I have been blessed beyond anything I ever dreamed of. Wherever you are today in your journey through life please pause for a moment and give thanks to our most wondrous God. Peace

Every Day since Dolly Parton’s death I learn more about the amazing person she was . Her song about always loving a person really was a song she wrote when going out on her own and leaving Porter Waggoner. As we go through life each of us leaves behind people who were significant in our lives. That is a natural part of our journey through life. Sometimes though, we forget how important those individuals were in our own journey, Dolly reminds us- always remember and give thanks. To all those who have given me a hand along the way - I pray I will always remember and love you. Peace

Who would have thought or believed that a poor country girl from the wilds of Tennessee could make such an impact on the world. It has been said by many that Ms Dolby did as much as she could for as many she could as long as she could. That my friends is a life well lived. Surely it is an example of how to live our individual lives.
Doing one good deed at a time. It really is up to each of us to make this a better world. As I start this day I pray God will lead me to that one good deed for today. Peace

Often music seems to speak to the heart like nothing else can. The other day sitting in my car a familiar Garth Brooks song starting playing and my tears began to flow as I thought about my son,Hal. “I will sail my vessel until the river runs dry- so you can sit upon the shore - I’ll never reach my destination unless I try’. Hal chose not to sit upon the shore and he sailed his vessel until his river ran dry. May each of us us do likewise- happy sailing.

Hi there! I’m still around but to be honest struggling a bit. The sadness just keeps on creeping in and then it is suddenly full blown. I was just sitting on my back porch, with Bailey - watching our birds. I suddenly noticed a new w**d blowing in the wind. It was right in the midst of some hibiscus I had planted. I thought to myself how quickly the w**ds seem to take over. It strikes me they share a great deal with the darkness that tries to capture me, while the light seems so hard to nurture. I cannot tell you how grateful i am to all of you who have reached out to help me with this struggle. Blessings and Peace.

Spiritual discipline is hard, at least for me, guess that is why it is called “discipline”. I have always done pretty well during Lent, but am much more hit and miss about it during the other seasons, There was a time when I used “Day by Day” every morning, but somewhere along the way that practice went by the way side. I am sure that because of my life circumstances I am trying to be more “disciplined” about it all. I am currently using “Mornings with Jesus” and it is helping. I do know that when I am regular about what ever I am doing that I feel better. The darkness does not seem so dark and the light seems brighter. Perhaps that is your experience as well, so together let’s keep on keeping on. “How you doing with your “one Good deed”? Peace

I know it has been awhile. I must admit I am struggling. I want to wake up from this nightmare,but I cannot seem to shake it. O a lot of good has come my way since HaL’S death,and I am truly grateful for all the love that has been shown me but the darkness still surrounds me. So be patient with me. Deep down I know that i am loved and held in God’s loving arms, but it is hard so very hard. Peace

DARKNESS The days since our son’s death on May 18 have been filled with it. Sometimes its seems almost unbearable while at times it is a hurt that will not go away, but through it all we have been reminded over and over again that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses to God’s love. Each card, each call has served to remind us of Hal and that he indeed walked among us and made a difference in so many lives. So never doubt that your cards., your thoughts do make a difference. You may feel you do not know what to say - say it anyway. I guess sending flowers or a plant is old fashioned - out of style - but we received a peace plant from Ro, Blaine and David the other day. It brought sunshine into our lives. I have since repotted it and it will serve to remind us of the presence of God’s love in our lives. So never doubt the power of your love - it is transforming. It does make a difference. Peace
