I Was Not Forgotten

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

It was my birthday, a day at every turn that grew worse. By the end of the day, I did not want to celebrate but wanted to forget the day as quickly as possible in order to move on to the next.

I came home, and no one was there to greet me. No one to sing happy birthday so I could cry my tears of self-pity.

I went to bed without supper, thinking how I get to show them I don’t care.

Then, in the middle of the night, my sister woke me and pulled me into the living room.

Happy birthday.

They all remembered.

I cried. It was one of those milestone years (I am not telling which one) I never forgot. I cried because they not only remembered my day but also that special watch I asked for. OK. Maybe I nagged.

I love my family. I miss my parents but I have great memories. I am blessed. I count my blessings every chance I get.

The words preserve me are said a great deal throughout the Psalms. The meaning is simple; keep me safe from harm, daily demise, problems in society where I live, and even keep me safe from my wayward thoughts. I trust in the Lord.

Preserve me Lord for in thee do I put my trust.(Psalm 16 verse 1)

All In The Mind

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Clutter does not have to be only tangible things. It could be things that invade the mind and cause misery, depression and anxiety. These unwanted actors tend to breach places in the mind and cause dire havoc. Over time, they are hard to eradicate. To remove them is to pray and pray to the Lord with hope and sincerity, knowing he will send help to see you through.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord will save you from them all. (Psalm 33 verse 19)

He clears a path that is clear and bright. He guides when you can not see straight. He gives counsel when you are confused. And he assures you of his presence so you are not alone.

Fear not for I have redeemed thee, I have called you by my name; you are mine. (Isaiah 43 verse 1)

Dogs Are Great.

What is your favorite animal?

I love my little dogs because they are loyal and show love back without hesitation. They were created for our pleasure and companionship. They protect you. They follow you. They make you smile when things go south. They don’t even judge you. They are great creatures. I am sure cats are good too, but I am allergic.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

We are certain and believe in things we can not even see. (Hebrews 11 verse 1) Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Email baby. Email.

In what ways do you communicate online?

I like to use email.

Remembering Jesus Not Only on the Lord’s Day.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12 verse 2)

On this the Lord’s day, we will remember him.

Keep things simple. Don’t worry, but live for today. Worrying never changed anything; it never pushed things forward it only gets you frustrated, which then leads to heartache.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the shall take thought for things of itself. (Matthew 6 verse 34)

Great memories?

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

On the way to a much needed break, I got bronchitis. Oh joy…

All joking aside, I always enjoyed my trips with Mom, Dad, and my sisters. We didn’t travel a lot but to those few places we went together in my adult life, I enjoyed. Now, the parents are gone, and my sisters and I remember the simple joys of a tour ride, good food, and their company.
