Care giving is a privilege

This sounds contrary to what I think or feel, but I find if I take this attitude in my heart, I can enjoy and count it a privilege to witness the daily miracles taking place in my husbands recovery from brain surgery. I wont say I never dream of living a normal life again with my time being my own to enjoy whatever I choose. But this is my life now and I am embracing it.

Draw Near

Draw Near Why do you hesitate to draw near my child? Do you not see me as a loving Father? Let me heal your past... Let me heal your heart... Do you not know the way you were trained as a child has influenced your perception of me? Let me heal your past... Let me heal your heart... Your heart was wounded when you were a young child. All  you heard and saw  formed your belief patterns. "I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly." Come, come to me. Sit, let me kiss your cheek and hold you. Breathe, just breathe. Take in the fresh wind of my Spirit, let it blow the chaff away. Let it carry away all the memories that are keeping you from the smiles and joy I have for you. Oh daughter of mine let's run through the meadow. Can you feel the cool breeze on your cheeks and the grass brushing against your legs? Can you hear the waves rolling, rushing onto shore, to meet your toes and fill them with sand? Can you smell the salty se...

Untangled Lines Catch Fish

Untangled lines Catch Fish Read John 15:1-14 Sometimes the cares of this life get me tangled into a knotted up ball.  As the day gets going, I sometimes find myself unable to reach the plan set before me. And I hear "Take Heart - There is hope" We took our very young grand sons fishing And they were so excited... It didn't take but a few minutes before their fishing lines got so tangled that papa had to cut them off and start over.

Because they are keeping me from being connected to the vine, which is Jesus. I think it is interesting that this scripture refers to us as branches and Jesus as the vine. It is habit for vines to grow and twine themselves around somethi...

“A Full Heart” As the battery operated lights start to dim on the mantle and the Jesse tree; Life seems to rest on calm.  It’s the day after Christmas, the last candle of advent has been lit, the presents are scattered about the room with no pretty wraps, ribbons or bows. There is hush over Bellevue Drive; And I want to linger here a little longer, hold tight to Jesus lying in the manger while Papa reads “The Greatest Gift”. Children’s laughter and smiles reflected on all the faces of the givers remain, and will be cherished forever. Moms, Mimi‘s, Nanas, and aunts all settle with a deep breath, and calm rest gently this morning after Christmas. There’s leftover pie, turkey and ham, so the day will be easy, slow and divine. I feel my heart being tugged in the direction up the stairs to my little prayer corner, and I submit. My heart is full ,and I just have to empty all the praises welling up inside me. Christmas day is past… And my heart is full Reflections of Christmases past by: ...
