It's been a year

It's been a year since I made a flying trip to the hospital to find my son almost dead. A trip that I packed just enough to get me through the night and I was there for 7. Straight. I left on the following Friday to get clothes, check in at work and go back for the weekend. We did not think he would make it through Thursday.

God granted us more time. More time to figure out what is important. More time to realize the gift was that given my family. More time to find Him. More time to remember that we are not always granted more time. More time to cherish the times we have, today.

He has now granted me more time with two of my children. The first time I did not recognize it. I am sad that I did not recognize it the first time. I am glad I know it this time.

It has been a hard year. For Michael, especially. For me. But especially Michael. I think the blogger world has had a helping had in making his life better. His blogger friends have held him up when he was soo down. Sure there have been a few that have been extremely ugly but they do not outweigh the goodness.

Many of you have become my followers also. I am so glad that God has sent you to him. You have made your mark in his life.

We are now moving into our second year. Let's have a party next year!
Love to all!

End of time?

Question: How do people think that they know when the 'end of time', 'rapture', and so on, will come when it states in the Bible that even Jesus does not know the hour He will return?

Are these folks even more knowing that Jesus? Isn't this a bit presumptious on their part?

Or am I the one that is nuts?

Spring vs Fall (in Texas)

Fall at 50 degrees calls for a jacket, ear muffs and the heater turned up full blast in the car.

Spring at 50 degrees calls for a long sleeve shirt (maybe), capris and flip flops. All because we know it could be 85 by mid afternoon!

Have a wonderful day!

Alone

I think I've lost Him.

He knows where I am, I know.

I've just walked away and gotten lost.

It's dark and cold.

I want to cry.

I feel alone.

Where's the Light?

Why can't I see?

Please find me.

I'm lost and alone.

Remember the meaning

Tomorrow is Easter. A day that brings tears to my eyes every year. A reminder of why I have a chance in going to Heaven.

Yesterday, Jesus was crucified. A Horrible Death. For you. And me.

Tomorrow, He arises.

May each of you have a Wonderful Day.

Happy Everafter!
Love,

Thought for today

I am off this morning getting ready to take Micael to dentist for teeth removal and a set of dentures. So I thought while I had time I would read my daily God Issues email.

This saying was in it:
Jonathan Edwards approached our question practically. He resolved "never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life." He also determined "that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die."

What a great thought! I need to live more like that. I need to let go of grudges, stress, lonliness, all negative energy and do something useful. None of this matters anyway, right?

Hugs my friends! Have a wonderful day!

Steering Wheel or Spare Tire?

I ws reading the web today. Wanted to listen to some Dallas station. Didn't know the name so I typed in the numbers off the radio. 96.3 dallas tx and found the radio station so I can listen to it at work. Scrolled down the page and found that Rebecca is no longer there but she has a blog telling why she is not there. The name of the blog is Love. Share. Shine. Made me cry.

Then I went to my hotmail account and we reading my God Issues story for today. The last line got me.

Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom asked, “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?”

What is prayer to me? I'm trying to make it my steering wheel, but I'm thinking I use it more often as my spare tire.

How bout you?

Hugs.
