<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Though this virus has become a real thing, there were and still are many unknowns. That said we can only do as recommend by Dept. Of Health and CDC.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, if you are one who bought enough toilet paper to last you months, what were you thinking? Okay maybe you weren't thinking clear at the time. Now that the rest of us can't get our hands on a roll, how about you offer it up to neighbors, friends or family that are caught with their pants down so to speak??? Nor do we need to buy up bottled water, we all have plumbing which means you have water. I prefer my favorite bottled water but I'm not about to stand in line to buy it when my faucet is in working order. Relax with the over buying for everyone's sake. When you do shop be patient and appreciative of our Food employees. They are putting themselves at risk, working longer hours because of those who have panicked. Let them catch their breath, re stock and at minimum perhaps we can return to normal shopping <u>as needed</u>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Think of your neighbors who maybe elderly, or those with compromised immune systems, those going through cancer treatments etc... Bob and I are in contact with two other homes near us and we have the agreement that if we plan on a grocery run, we let the other two homes know and we pick up stuff for them. We then keep a running tab on who owes us what and we square up every two weeks. Other than a need at the market, with Buster over 70 and my bad lungs, we're pretty much staying in and sticking to family that are doing the same. That may seem over kill to some, and I don't worry if anyone doesn't understand. I know how my lungs feel on a good day, I think I'm worth not putting myself at risk.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When thinking about what to do with all this spare time, I looked back before the world got so busy, put itself at high speed all the time. As kids we were good playing board games, cards, dolls, reading, watching movies and as a family sharing a night time television show. We weren't all sitting with devices in our hands, we were actually using them to be of help, doing chores and okay maybe hitting a sibling once or twice. 🤷</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We could load up in our car and take a drive like we used to, we could go to the beach and take a walk in the fresh air. Heck my Dad would take us to the airport, park on the side of the road where planes were coming in to land right over the car. It was thrilling for us kids and it didn't cost a thing other than the gas to drive there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We played croquet in the yard, badminton, hopscotch. Sit with your kids and look at old photo albums, review those memories. These things are not extinct we just now choose to sit in front of a television or stare into our phones. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe while things are slow, you can bake with your kids, do crafts, prepare meals together, have an ongoing jigsaw puzzle, deep clean our homes...whatever it is that we never have time to do because we always have our foot on the gas and full calendars. Save some money, rather than spending money spend time. I never have enough time and now I do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope to do all I've mentioned and more. I want to return to letter writing, people love to receive handwritten notes. More thought than an email or a text for sure. It says, I took the time to sit down to let you know I was thinking about you, or better yet what you mean to me, rather than including it in a eulogy you won't hear.🤔 Work on unfinished projects, go through your closets and get rid of all those clothes that haven't fit you for years and give them to people who have no more than the clothes on their back. How many sweatshirts and coats to you have/need? Blankets, an extra few tucked away in closest that you haven't pulled out for years. There are many cold people on the streets at night. Myself I have lots of books, and I'm on a reading rampage currently and trying to pass them on to others. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you children a favor (insert emoji for first hand experience), go through those boxes of things you store and never get into. Clean out your garage to where you can actually use them as intended. Get rid of stuff you haven't touched in years.. After the loss of loved ones, we are in no frame of mind to go through all of it and get rid of it because you didn't. Do it now....Get your files in order purge what you don't need. I have a big three wring notebook that holds information for every appliance we have, a page for paint colors in our home should we need to repaint etc... Have important files together such as banking, property, etc that in the event something ever happen to you, your children know right where to go to get what they need. I have a list of monthly bills and of who provides us each service. Again, they, your children don't want to go through a million files to find the two or three important ones they would need right away.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This isn't meant to be a doomsday post, its just thoughts on things we could be doing rather than accomplishing nothing in this time of staying put. I really believe much good can come from this experience if we watch for it. My hope is we realize we don't have to go at full speed all the time, our calender's don't have to be full at all times. We can actually return to the good old days of being in the presence of our families and building even stronger bonds. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have started journals of my youth up to now of things my kids or grands might enjoy reading one day when I'm gone. Things they never thought to ask, or I never shared. I so often have a question only my Mom or Dad could answer, one that I wish I had thought to ask them, and now I can't. Khloe was asking me questions about my youth during a recent sleep over. She wanted to know things I did for fun as a kid, what my fears were etc... I think the more they know the more they may listen to our advice when they realize we too had fun, fears heartbreaks, we once were children too! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We can still help restaurants during this time...buy gift cards to give as gifts or to use when things are back to normal....that word seems so useless nowadays...What exactly is normal? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just purged a lot of thoughts.....in hope something may be helpful to you and yours💓😻 </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wash your hands often after opening your mail, packages, groceries...you don't need sanitizers, soap and water are the best way to rid yourself of unwanted germs, and sheeish, stop touching your face! I never realized how much I do that until this all started. SMH</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay well, follow the rules, we can do this!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what echos from my heart today.... 💋</span>debihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17684778217514244271noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808143582355044973.post-62791650259548707722019-05-21T17:13:00.000-07:002019-05-21T17:19:34.797-07:00Seasons Well, I've been away from blogging for four years now. Truth is I'm not even sure of why I stopped, I suppose I allowed life to get too busy. I started to go in and read the blogs I use to follow and catch up with each, but that just became overwhelming.... So let's start again!<br />
<br />
The grand kids are growing up and we have a new addition. Dillon Kai was born in March of 2016 and he is a pistol. He is adorable, smart, funny, bossy, demanding and loves to cuddle. I watch him four days a week and he is just the greatest joy for us. Up until last week he called me, Mommy, Mama, Nemaw and finally nailed Namaw! It does a heart good just to be called :-)<br />

<br />
Life is forever changing as with everyone. Celebrations, sorrows, seasons of life each one.<br />
I'm preparing for a vacation back to Montana for a family reunion this summer. I haven't made the annual trip since the loss of my sweet Aunt Wilma in over three years ago. Just haven't been able to bring myself to deal with a visit and her not being there, strangers living in the house that was formerly my Grandmothers. Uggh... I still try and go through it mentally as to prepare myself...it's sad, yet at the same time I'm excited to see all of my family and catch up. The Herndon family is a special group of individuals who love deeply and always have each others backs.<br />
<br />
The end of last year my cousin Bob's son Ben asked if the could stay with us for a time. He moved in a couple days later. He was going through some struggles as we all do in life and wanted to find work, get life in order and the plan was his wife and daughter would come here to live in California. We had some amazing conversations and I started to feel even more connected with him. It was easy to do as he had a really beautiful heart. His wife Adrianne did come out to spend sometime with him and they were so in love so excited and optimistic about their future. Not long after she returned to Montana. After seeing them together I didn't think he was going to make it through the holidays away from his family so he returned to Montana as well. Sadly Ben's life was taken in a motorcycle incident on May 10th at the age of 41. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this tragedy, the family and all who knew him are at such a loss. A celebration of his life is next Friday in Butte Montana, I will be there in spirit as our family gathers. Our reunion this summer will be bitter sweet, as there will be an empty seat at the table. Benjamin will not be forgotten, but forever in our hearts.<br />
<br />
Life can be over in an instant, why we often assume it will never be someone close to us? We should be living life fully, speaking love to those we love. What if we were to tell others what they mean and have meant to us while they are with us rather than at their service? I think it requires really being aware of doing it daily and maybe it then becomes second nature? I am thankful for the time I had with Benjamin, he knew how much I loved him, how much hope I had for his future being bright again.<br />
<br />
A dear friend told me, "I know he enjoyed his time with you and Bob, and the Lord brought him to you out of the blue to share His love with Ben. God knew how short his time was and knew you'd be obedient to share God with Ben." Ben told me one night he felt as if there was an empty hole inside that he couldn't fill. I told him, "that is the hole only God can fill, and that is when that peace that surpasses all understanding takes over." His response is that is what I've been looking for!<br />
<br />
I hope that space has been filled for each of you, it's what echos from my heart today....<br />
<br />
Hugs!<br />

We rented a home up in Julian, an hour from home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like most Mom's I just wanted sometime with as many of us together as I could get.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Facebook,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an interesting place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Facebook page is just that, mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are a "friend" of mine on Facebook you will see my posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will see them if you come to my page, you will possibly see them on your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
news feed of friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not ask or accept you as a friend because we agree on things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not because we have the same faith or political views.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It happened because I chose to have a connection with you, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or because you wanted to connect </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I share on my page, my thoughts, my ideas, my highs and lows,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my grandchildren and children.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My vacation logs, photographs, verse that may lift me up and therefore</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I share in hopes it may do the same for one of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read your posts not because you have the same views as I, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but because I'm interested in your thoughts and views.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may be a great white hunter, you may own a gun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't get hunting and I don't like guns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not lecture you on hunting, it does not determine how I feel about you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not tell anyone they don't have a right to own a gun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are free to make our own decisions, and to have differing thoughts on the issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It interests me what my "friends" think and why.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I won't do is begin to tell you why your thoughts or feelings are wrong, or how misinformed you are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why, because they are just that, your thoughts and feelings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a respect of others and I have no desire to disrespect you in anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm aware politics is a tough issue especially this election year... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I hear a political person speak and they strike me as genuine, I will state just that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what you don't have to feel the same, I am not trying to convince any one about any thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not want any inappropriate photos or language on my page and if</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it occurs I simply delete them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I frequently add to my posts,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"this is my opinion you don't have to agree, no haters please, this is not a debate, just my thoughts and feelings on my page."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I've read that means I expect you to agree with me or you shouldn't post.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me be clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not asking you to respond in like/agreement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not expect nor do I want friends that only agree with my views.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It means I don't want to risk someone insulting me or others on my page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not like confrontation on Facebook or otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would never dream of going on someones page and ripping them for their views,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nor will I inform them how ridiculous their thoughts or views are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not post negative remarks on your page and I do not want negative on mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The world has more than enough negative, I do not wish to add to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After listening to Ben Carson recently I posted,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Ben Carson, truth."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was later quoted as saying "Amen to Mr. Carson's claim of Hilary is with Lucifer."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My comment was, based on I believe Mr. Carson is truthful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do know when someone is using a figure of speech versus literal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please know, Lucifer has been around much longer than Hilary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please don't read into what I write, I won't read into what you write.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want clarification it's why we have messenger, for private conversation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I for sure don't attempt to convince anyone my party is "the Christian party."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I happen to be a Christian and we happen to have more in common than not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I am a Christian does not mean I believe any one person is a Christian because they say </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are. I don't claim to know <u>anyone's heart. </u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not believe all the actions, words and views of my party are in alignment with the teachings of Christ.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not look to politicians for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a Bible for that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a Christian it <u>does not mean</u> I am anti anyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a Christian, I am not perfect nor do I want others to believe I think I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very flawed, I am trying to find my own way in this life as I trust your are as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>For me</i> I found a better way and that is Christ. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't insist you share my beliefs politically or spiritually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friendship for me is not based on us agreeing on everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want my friends to be true to themselves and I respect that very much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If me living my truth on Facebook upsets you, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not be offended if you choose to remove me as your Facebook friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not think poorly of you, rather that matters to you or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I accept you as a fellow human being and I desire to be sure you sense that I respect you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some I know are saying, it's why I don't like Facebook, it's why we don't speak of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
faith or political views.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't always agree with that...I sense hearing others thoughts help us to know each other</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
better. Not to convince others to change their ways to match mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am on Facebook because I love being in touch with a large extended family, with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
classmates that matter to me because we have our awesome Alma Mater in common. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With friends old and new.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoy seeing your families, sharing in your successes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that I know you are in a struggle and I can then </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pray for you as you go through that time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here because I genuinely love others right where they're at rather I agree with you or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You matter to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't discuss politics in person unless I am asked my thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not push my faith off on anyone, it's a very personal choice to be respected</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rather we agree or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Facebook </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a place I can be myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A place where friends and acquaintances will know my thoughts and views</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in order to know more about who I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not in order to be friends only if we agree on all things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have read much that I strongly disagree with on the pages of others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It isn't grounds for friendship or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Facebook for me is keeping in touch with others</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without it that would nearly be impossible...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a friend needing to share her thoughts this Friday morning...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My intent is never to offend or have conflict with anyone for any reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its what echos from my heart today.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's seems we tend to speak of love or a lack of love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What we love, what we want out of love, and that we want to be loved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Merriam Webster defines love <i></i></div>
<div class="word-sub-header">
<div class="title-block">
</div>
</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="intro-colon"> <i> </i></span><i>~ a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person</i></b></div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
<b><i> ~ attraction that includes sexual desire </i></b></div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
<b><i> ~ the strong affection felt by people who have a romantic relationship
</i></b></div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span class="intro-colon"> ~ </span>a person you love in a romantic way</i></b></div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
I think most of us think that falling in love is likely the most important</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
event that can take place in our lives.</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
I agree, this can be a very good thing!!</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
To this blogger, romantic love is not the best or most important part of my life.<br />
Don't be alarmed :-) </div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
There is a greater love than that found in marriage, families and friends<br />
and it's all consuming!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
It is so great that it enters into the very deepest part of our hearts, at its root.</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
It is the love of Jesus Christ,</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
the One who died on a cross for us</div>
<div class="definition-block def-text" style="text-align: center;">
and who lives within a believers heart.</div>

<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">For those that believe, </span><br />

<b><i>BUT....</i></b><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">What if we honestly take a look at our hearts;</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">What love are we putting first in our daily lives?</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">Are we making idols of a relationship</span><br />

<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">What are we loving first? </span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">I know for myself there were many years I doubted that God </span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">could really fulfill my desire to love and be loved.</span><br />
<br />
<i><b><span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">If only He loved us, would be enough?</span></b></i><br />
<br />
I've found He not only can, but does fill me up with His Love.<br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">No love is greater than God's love for us.</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">It has no beginning and no end. </span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">His love trumps our greatest sin !</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">It matters not what we have or haven't done,</span><br />
<i><b><span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">He loves us.</span></b></i><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284"><br /></span>
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">I know for me, this discovery of how great God's love was for me</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">came only when I decided I really want to know God Himself.</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">I got to know God by spending time in His Word, in prayer and in meditation.</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">You don't get to know anyone without investing the time in doing so.</span><br />
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284"><br /></span>
<span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">So if you want to experience the Greatest Love of all,</span><br />
<b><i><span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">rather then waiting for love,</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span class="text Jas-1-17" id="en-NIV-30284">seek it! </span></i></b><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> On</span> this day in 2012,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday the 13th, was Mother's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's</span> the day my Mom left this earth and joined my Dad in heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tolerable, because I loved the thought of them together again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #073763;"><i>I miss her still, always, deeply.</i></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #073763;"><i> </i></span></b></span> That day was the beginning of <span style="color: #073763;"><i>another</i></span> new normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still learning how to live without her in my life, I doubt<br />
the learning is ever complete...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do so miss those daily phone calls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try and fill my thoughts with crazy Nanny stories,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there are many :-)</div>

In 2012 on Mothers Day I lost my Mom...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe it's been four years, it seems like forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be thinking of her especially today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The love between Mothers and daughters, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it runs deep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me the awareness of just how deep came after the loss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We always loved each other, it was just a deeper awareness of that love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A cousin mentioned to me, why is it we understand better,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we begin to really know them once they're gone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have the answer....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can guess that if the depth was really clear it would have been much harder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to let them go...? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was a dandy and I'm glad she was my Mother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Perfection?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">D</span>esiring it, expecting it, recovering from it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully the latter....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>oday as I watched Ellery Grace (2) tackle the laundry with me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I noticed how very proud she was of every sock she folded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She would fold them one a time, after all, no need to pair them up when they</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all appear to be the same sock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Point taken)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A</span>fter every folded sock she would bring it to me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Here Namaw" as she locked eyes with me in order for me to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
deem her work acceptable... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each time I would tell her what a great job she did and thanked her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I often let them help with laundry, both love to put clothes in the washer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and both look forward to the moving into the next machine for drying,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and both love to fold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">K</span>hloe, always wants to wipe down their little table after meals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each time asking me not to look until shes done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can almost read a chapter of a book in the time it takes her,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after all its a good 24" x 17" table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She then calls me over to look at her work, again eyes lock for that approval</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from me that its a great job, <i>that its enough.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b> ~</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>oday it was such a strong thought, the importance of teaching them how</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to perform a task and letting them run with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all, they <b>KNOW HOW TO DO IT</b> after one lesson right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They do not want future help with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In their minds they've learned how, they can now replicate <i>(used loosely)</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what they've been taught therefore it should be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
good<i> enough</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh it's good enough! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They really do want to help, they want to emulate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Namaw, Pa, Momma, Daddy, teacher etc....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #073763;">(Reminder to those who are unaware, they ARE watching you.)</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">O</span>f course I generally re fold many things, but they don't need to know that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They need to know how great their effort was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will be times in the future to teach them how to fine tune their</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
folding skills :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span>ooking back I remember my sons learning at early ages to make their beds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Often times it was comical when I checked on the progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would have been far to obvious if I had re made them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>instead </b> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I allowed them to become better bed makers when they wanted to,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span>t fills my heart when my daughter in law sends me a photo of Khloe age 4, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on a stool rinsing dishes to go into the dishwasher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that she allows her to do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No worry of the possibility that water that may end up on the floor, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or of her getting her little shirt wet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a teaching moment, it's her being like her Momma,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>that</u> is what pleases these little ones..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you find you're the perfectionist...well,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't put that on them or anyone else for that matter...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not an order, but a strong suggestion ;-).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I </span>myself am a recovering household perfectionist</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while in my 20's....thankful I didn't expect it of my family,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thankful I saw the amount of energy it sapped out of me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thankful I let it go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I </span>guess what got me today was just how important it is,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to teach them (because they do want to help), and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to allow them to get better at something at their own speed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To teach them that their attempts at<i> whatever</i>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>is good enough.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Again there is always time to further teach them...</i><b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just not as often as your praising them.<b> :-)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>e can teach responsibility, without expecting perfection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We could stand to praise more often than we preach, or correct.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Praising</b>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not expecting the<i> perfect </i>child, to do everything<i> perfectly</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That doesn't translate well into their future years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do we really want them to feel <i>they're</i> never enough.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span>et's face it Mary Poppins who was practically perfect in </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>every way, was alone when between jobs... and </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>she was clearly interested in Burt.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Watching as an adult, though her job she found rewarding, </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>and clearly loved children,</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>she was alone in her perfection.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>(She did have plenty of good qualities, I'm not a Poppins hater..) </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">P</span>erfectionism in real life, its hard and uncomfortable</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> for this blogger to watch....</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Have you ever watched a perfectionist and thought,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>they are missing so many awesome moments by trying</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to make it all so perfect. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span>et them be kids,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let them know their efforts are generally good enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my opinion the<b> <i>perfectly</i> </b>behaved child, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(though good behavior is important)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is not a happy child, but a bundle of stress inside over trying to please,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to be good <i>enough</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trying to avoid the humiliation of being told that what they're </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
doing isn't acceptable, isn't good <i>enough</i>, every time they turn around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="post-header">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
morning you locked yourself in the powder bathroom because you could not
trust your self-control to trump your anger at the raging child you
love but really, <i>really</i> can't stand right now. You feel guilt as
you feel vindication at the thought of dropping their angry self off at
the side of the road and driving away....</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
moment when you said "shut up" under your breath after their rage passed
and they heard you and cried. You couldn't believe what a dark person
you are to have let this slip and then seep into their heart. What a
heel of a mom.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
time you fantasized about asking to borrow the rose colored glasses of
the older lady at Target who told you to "enjoy these days" after your
hour long struggle to keep your little beggars from springing out of the
red cart so that you could throw them on the ground, crush them with
your sneakered foot and hand them back to the nice woman while saying,
"I think you forgot what life really looks like right now". </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
hour after your good man came home from a trip with you expecting him to
patiently take over the deafening circus and he lost his cool in the
chaos and he isn't able to make the transition seamlessly. OR he comes
home and all the rascallions suddenly turn into little obedient darlings
and their father turn's into Mister Rodgers, beloved and adored. What
the heck? Either way, you're peeved and he can't win.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Or
maybe it's one of the many times you find yourself around other
families, whose children listen the first time, don't throw food across
the table and generally act like the civilized offspring of successful
parents who have parented well. You try to interact and pretend your
children do not need to be reigned in, but every five minutes you dart
out of the conversational circle because it IS your monkey and it IS
your circus, darn it! And you realize that maybe a total revamp of the
training program you've been using is in dire need. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Every
scenario is different, because none of us or our landscapes look exactly
the same. Yet there are seasons in the Mother Hood when, if we choose
to be honest, the inside of our tent looks eerily the same. I am here
today without a shred of parenting advice because when you're knee deep
in monkey crap, you really just don't want that before feeling
understood. Here are three simple tools for survival I've found for when
hard times set in:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>1. You, specifically, were given this child/children on purpose.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You
weren't a random choice. God doesn't have His fingers crossed, hoping he
made a decent pairing. You've GOT THIS because He made you strong
enough to handle the hard. Do not force yourself to be someone else. Ask
God to break your vices and help hone the virtues. It likely will be a
messy and unflattering process, but anything worthwhile usually is. And
let your children know that you know you aren't perfect. Ask for
forgiveness when needed and claim your loving, imperfect, God-inspired
authority the rest of the time. The childhood your children are living
are the only ones they know. I know I often project my insecurities
about my inability to spend one-on-one time on them (each mother has her
own worries), but they only know what they know, and they know they are
loved by an imperfect mother. Trust God in all of this. He's got your
back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Be honest.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Several
weeks ago, sitting in the waiting room of the play therapist I am
taking one of my children to, I met the mama of another child who was
there. We introduced ourselves and in no time, we couldn't talk fast
enough, comparing notes of what we were dealing with. I realized more
than anyone, I needed the therapy ...and her ability to absolutely
relate with me was exactly what I needed. Neither of us gave advice or
pretended to have nice, neat answers. But I am quite sure we both walked
out of there feeling understood, with our frustrations eased by being
validated. I haven't seen or talked with her since, but it was the shot
of encouragement I needed right at that moment and thanked God for it. I
also thank him for the close friends I can text/call in the moments
when I feel I'm at the Crazy Train station, ready to be picked up and
carried away forever. They let me say bad things and know 75% of it I do
not mean. They don't try and give advice. They are simply there. And
when you have that safety net, you cling to it and you return the favor
as much as you possibly can. If you do not have this, make it your
fervent prayer that God brings it to you. Friends and strangers who
listen and understand are God's tangible hugs...but in order to receive
them, one must be willing to be honest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>3. Breathe.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I
know. This is pretty basic, but when I am stressed, I forget to breathe
in deeply. Half the time, my shoulders are tensed up, hovering around my
ears and at the sound of hidden candy wrappers being fondled in the
pantry or the refrigerator door being opened for the twentieth time
after I've given out plenty of snacks. Remembering (which I rarely do)
to stop and take a few deep breaths helps me take pause. I know it's not
always possible when you have really small children to lock yourself in
your room or bathroom, but if you can (cribs! pack and plays! let them
cry!), give yourself a time-out and just breath. Maybe sniff some
lavendar or peppermint...or roll around in a vat of it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Just don't forget to come for some air. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Somehow how, it helps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As you
can see, this is not a blog of ground-breaking answers, mainly because
the author is still in the trenches herself. Besides, empathy is far
weightier currency than answers when it comes to getting through hard
times in the hood. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One more thing. Feel free to borrow and repeat my mantra as often as you need to:</span></div>

Seriously March is almost here?</div>

I often wish I could slow the days down, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
am I alone in this thinking?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My Grands are growing up too fast!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Khloe shared with me last week,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
" Namaw I will still love you when I get bigger."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good to know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still in the midst of my three different Bible Studies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Revelation, Hebrews and The Way of the Heart...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though I am really enjoying each one of them, I look forward to April</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I can resume only one Bible study.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just keeps me very busy, yet I gain so much from each.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My little Khloe is 4 months from being a 5 year old (uggh)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She started T-Ball a week ago, stinkin cute to watch!</div>

It's what echos from my heart today....</div>

<i>Stopping by blog land before January is completely behind me! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was listening to a Podcast while trying to forget I was at a gym, it's just something that works for me :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The speaker made several excellent points but two stood out in my mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first was if you were to receive a written letter from Jesus what do you suppose it would say?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would he be pleased with how your living your life?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would he feel he is your 1st priority? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would he be pleased with the amount of time you spend with him?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How would he feel about the fact you put your children before your spouse?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Speaking of, how are you treating your spouse? Is it respectful? You do know our children generally follow the example that you set for them..... <i>(sit with that a minute</i>).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do you speak to your parents with respect (deserved or not)? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you in a regular habit of attending church, small group, any type of fellowship with other believers?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you growing in your knowledge of His Word, the Bible?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How much time do you actually spend with him daily? Turns out <b><span style="font-size: large;">we can</span></b> make time....forfeit some of that time on our cell phones, Facebook or television....just a few ideas.... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you trusting Him in every situation, <b><i>or are you trusting Him only when you need something? </i></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You know, in a medical emergency or to get you out of a problem you created? Are you consistent in your need of him? Or is it the only time you're really willing to spend with him?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you accountable to others when you are wrong? Do you <b><u><i>freely</i></u></b> ask for forgiveness, or wait and hope they forget your wrong doing?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are we caring for our bodies, our physical health? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you loving others, are you kind to strangers, the clerk in the store, the waitress etc.....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you judging others rather than focusing on bettering yourself??</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>These questions I found can go on and on.....</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So</span>, upon hearing the question, "what would He say," I had to think, yes, what might he say to me?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>I have work to do.....</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The other stand out point was regarding prayer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How do you pray? Is it simple Dear God, thank you for this day, help me get rest tonight, keep my kids safe and healthy....Amen</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now think of it this way..Would your simple prayer remain the same?.<span style="font-size: large;">.If, </span>he were sitting beside you how would you speak with him? Would you be in total awe of his presence, of all he's done for you? Would that prayer be more involved and intimate? Wouldn't you just be pouring out thanks?? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So</span>, yep I have work to do...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ask yourself questions that come to your mind.... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just popped in to share yet more of what I've been pondering :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wishing you God's best!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's what echos from my heart today.....</div>

So for grins I love to use the word, <b>ponder</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just sounds like less effort than, <i><b>think about</b>.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i> ~</i></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are certain things that occur that make me stop for a moment and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ponder.</b></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
There is the<b> laundry ponder...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost weekly as I'm folding sheets, "where is that fourth pillowcase?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two sets of white sheets for my bed with a total of 4 pillow cases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Months ago I came up short a pillow case....drat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've looked high and low, it's no where to be found.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's more annoying than the occasional missing sock, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have more than enough socks....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying to shake the memory of the missing pillowcase,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't understand why it continues to puzzle me to the extreme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's like trying to shake gum off the bottom of a shoe, it won't budge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there's the <b>Pinterest Ponder........</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will go on pinterest about once a month to see whats new.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I end up pinning almost every post on, how to have thin thighs, how </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to get rid of back fat, how to shed the spare tire on what used to resemble a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stomach, how to loose whatever all that is that hangs off my arms.!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All with good intentions of doing something about<b> "it."</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I've claimed 15 or so of the fat facts....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in an instant I find myself pinning dessert recipes, meals with cheese and/or butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as main ingredients.....with an occasional "low cal" dish for good measure,really?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just today my cousin Dona Dee shared a "Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on Facebook. I responded with my usual response to a photo of future fat on my body, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">CRUD!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just as I finished typing the last paragraph, my Facebook alerted me to a new post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter in law Katie just posted a photo of <b>said Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Such fun watching the kids and spending the day with extended family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">~</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year!</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just can't believe we are in 2016 already, it seems not that long ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were waiting to see what 2000 would bring!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that time of year many set or reset goals, make resolutions, and a very popular</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one, join a gym!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you all find your days become very routine?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After many days of life with routine, we sometimes stop noticing all that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has put before us that will bring us joy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be it a beautiful sunset, vibrant landscapes or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for me, the peace the beautiful Pacific ocean provides.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We get caught up in life sometimes and we begin to miss all the gifts provided us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some routines are healthy, such as exercise, healthy diets etc... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time spent with God for example will always remain part of my routine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without it, life is so void of true contentment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me that desire for contentment is something I know only God can truly satisfy in me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bottom line, I am limiting the "routine" stuff as much as possible...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Though it once was,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's not the money to be made, the bigger house, its not possessions period.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess because I've tried living both ways I can say, living a life that is God centered,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fulfills my hearts true desires and it's where I find myself content.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all find ourselves in tough circumstances,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but in the midst of those circumstances we don't need to lose sight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of all the good God has for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we lose sight of that, we likely lose sight of joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is always something we can find joy in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me it's a grandchild's sweet face, or one of our kids stopping by...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me it's being surrounded by a blue sky and lots of trees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They all remain,<b><i> regardless </i></b>of my circumstance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My hope is to shake up this new year and purpose to make each<br />
day different than the last. Challenging myself to do so!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking forward to what the new year holds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to enter into it refreshed, and ready for renewal to take place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every year I have a word for the year....it hasn't come to me just yet, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and like every year, I anxiously wait for it to become clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May you each enter in to the New Year with a sense of renewal and refreshment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look for the joy, it's there! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's what echos from my heart today..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this post finds you totally prepared for Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wonder how many are 100% prepared? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gifts are finally wrapped here, been to the market in preparation for our </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas Eve dinner, and ready to tidy up the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to wish all of my fellow bloggers a Merry Christmas !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Praying for all who will travel to arrive at your destinations safely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the best intentions of getting all my Christmas cards out, just never got them all done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So forgive me those who haven't received one..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been having cool weather, highs in the 50's many days, evenings high 20's low 30's...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that means I may actually get to wear all my turtleneck sweaters at last! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had several days of rain which I'm also loving, not just because we need it but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because it's just so nice to see again!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share video from Khloe's Sunday School performance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They sang, Go Tell it On The Mountain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was adorable, a couple of joyful tears were shed...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy it even a fraction of what I have :-)</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>here people get the idea that because one is a Christian,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they don't make bad choices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or that because one is a Christian, they must also be hypocrites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That because one is a Christian ________</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fill in the blank,<b> world....</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is from my experience a few things may contribute to this thinking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those who really believe such things, don't understand the faith. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First and foremost, if one truly understands the Christian faith they would know,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christians do make bad choices....yes, we too are human.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christians can be hypocritical, it's true, as can other members of life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's really not easy being a Christian.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the most ridiculed faith, yet is is a faith that teaches above all else to love one another,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>even</u> those that ridicule, <u>even</u> one's enemies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I personally believe the Bible as God Word,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His Word breathed into others, and therefore penned by many authors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A true history of mankind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I believe that, and I understand how God wants me to be toward others,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would hope to not ridicule another for their particular faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would not assume because one is a "bad" <u>(pick a faith)</u>, that all of that faith is bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet....that is what so many do in response to the Christian faith?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second reason I believe that contributes to this way of thinking toward the Christian faith is that people</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have had bad experiences personally with a church or those claiming to be Christians. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christians just as any other group of people,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have faults and are not always good examples of the faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i>Grieves me deeply</i>) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For that I am deeply sorry, at the same time, it's not the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
entire faith that hurt you in whatever way you may have been hurt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know some had faith forced on then as children and when it came time to decide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for oneself you chose to be done with "that" experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's really quite an incredible thing when faith is by choice, when it's really studied, when one truly understands it, and therefore truly experiences it in a personal way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking for myself as a Christian.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not perfect, yet I know I serve a perfect God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I make bad choices, yet I know He is a God of grace and forgiveness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are hypocrites that attend church, I say, what better place for them to be in order </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to recognize it and hopefully think better of it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try very hard not to judge, I never know another persons full story nor have I walked in their shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't want to criticize anyone for their beliefs that may differ from mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do struggle with any faith that teaches the opposite of love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Faith is such a personal choice and I can't imagine chosing to be interested in one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that promotes anything other than much needed love in this world.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a Christian I wake up everyday with a desire to do better, to be better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My greatest prayer is that people who claim to be Christian live a life that's reflective of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that faith. It's a faith who's greatest commandment is to love others, are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How are you treating strangers, employees, neighbors, spouses, friends? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The answer should be by loving them no matter what.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Loving, it's a verb, <i>Christian.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This I work at daily, and I often fail. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet my honest desire each day is to try again, to try and get it right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> ~</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christian what is your behavior when others aren't watching, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when you are away from church?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Gulp, guilty myself with just a second to think about it! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always something to work on.....and very important that when recognized you don't ignore it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've work to do if we want the world to see true examples of our faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Live your faith in a way that all will recognize you as light to the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is my belief as I shared on Facebook this past week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather you believe it or not, this world is seeing what the Bible says would happen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is in fact</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happening before our eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A result of God leaving man to their own choices. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
More and more Christians are martyred for their faith every day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this will continue to be more common than not in our not so distant future. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I learned the sad fact that more Christians have died because </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of their faith in the 20th century than all other centuries combined.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Telling...... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a Christian, I have many faults, I speak freely of my faith</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> because I live in a country where I can. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though I don't see that being the case far down the road.<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want people I care about to really understand they have a choice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for all to<b> fully</b> understand it before making that choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That choice determines eternity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have said in past posts, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what do you have to lose if you choose to believe, only to find out it's a lie?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The answer is<u> nothing</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have <u>nothing</u> to lose.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so much to gain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The alternative may be worth checking out....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's my hope for each who reads this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not a holy roller, Bible thumper, Religous freak,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just took the time to educate myself and as a result experienced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what it is truly like to have a personal relationship with God. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It does not mean bad things won't happen in life, they have and they will. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is, <span style="color: blue;"><i>a peace in the midst </i></span>of all that is happening today for example,.....and everyday to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my future....</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">~</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ask that those who choose to respond to this post,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not respond in a way that attacks something so very personal to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's your choice to believe differently, you're important to me despite our differences! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can promise, I will treat you in kind..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's what echos from my heart today.</div>

I love it, really love the song Hello.... I highly recommend it, she does have such a gift in that beautiful voice of hers.<br />
<br />
December, wasn't sure I was going to make it to blog land. I have a break from 2 of the classes I've been taking so I saw a window, I'm climbing in.<br />

I am loving my classes, it is requiring me to be more disciplined with my time. I get any study time I can when my little grands go down for their naps...(often that is 3 hours) crazy right?<br />
<br />
We hosted a Christmas Brunch for my siblings and their families on the 5th. Was so great to be with them, really sorry my brother and his family couldn't make it. Those days of always being together, I still miss them.<br />

We had a lovely day, so fun to watch the little ones play together....the day is always over too soon for me.<br />

Gearing up for more holiday fun and making some new memories!<br />
Hoping you aren't letting the chaos of the world enter in....<br />
It's what echos from my heart today.....debihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17684778217514244271noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808143582355044973.post-8455631148549333672015-11-12T10:23:00.003-08:002015-11-12T10:23:43.664-08:00For the First Time Ever ~ <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling a bit inspired to try new things?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a banner week for first time ever stuff, starting with Yoga.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never taken a Yoga class prior to this week and I have taken three!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a fan of Yoga speak which one instructor used plenty of, I just replaced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my own words those of the instuctor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have a third eye (?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a lotus flower between my eyebrows is not my foundation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two eyes, and if something is between them I need tweezers :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My foundation is found only in Christ.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not trying to be critical of the practice, I just modify it to work for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found myself in many positions that I actually could not get out of,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
other than just falling gently to one side. I'm sure it was comical to some....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually had some very sore muscles so it for sure is a work out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased a yoga mat and bag, and yoga socks, going to continue as long as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel it benefits me....the stretching and relaxation that came with it is great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Veterans day I spent the day with my favorite veteran,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we hit the gym and then off to the golf course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't actually play as those behind me would not have been at all happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I practiced my swing <b>(a lot)</b> and actually got pretty comfortable with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will admit, if I had to say after day one, it may not be the sport for me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent most of the<span style="color: red;"><b> hot </b></span>time in the sun imagining a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shaded golf cart and a nice cold drink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in my hand ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we moved on to chipping and putting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the condition of my back, being bent over just enough to kill my lower</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
back was required.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ran into a friend who took the time to advise me for a good amount of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bless his heart, he had to be so frustrated with me....but he hung in there as did I.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, lets just say my body was feeling three days of Yoga and my attempt to learn golf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll continue to learn the sport of golf, with a<i> deep desire</i> to just drive a golf cart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a cold drink in hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This all got me thinking, perhaps I should start creating a list of things I want to try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It won't be anything like jumping out of a plane or flying one, lets not get too crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any first time things you would like to try?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to hear about them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First times, it's what echos from my heart today... </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span>o begins the month of posting something we are thankful for daily on Facebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, we should be living a life deep in thankfulness daily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Somehow typing it out everyday of November is good for creating </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the habit of thankfulness if you are one who has not yet created the habit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUE0dRKmOK0T8QxEVzfEKE_X6Spj4cWJXESRPTDUaimlEai2srkMN88n1oXGmEIlOV9-qBXt3WDLud7D8OPdjrcHMsIWQhvtQgto1eNPJG8mN-JUHm3zr_kll78l8-TKiI8f2nVqmYvgur/s1600/sometimes-we-need-to-remind-ourselves-that-thankfulness-is-indeed-a-virtue-quote-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUE0dRKmOK0T8QxEVzfEKE_X6Spj4cWJXESRPTDUaimlEai2srkMN88n1oXGmEIlOV9-qBXt3WDLud7D8OPdjrcHMsIWQhvtQgto1eNPJG8mN-JUHm3zr_kll78l8-TKiI8f2nVqmYvgur/s320/sometimes-we-need-to-remind-ourselves-that-thankfulness-is-indeed-a-virtue-quote-1.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> encourage giving it a try if you aren't already,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
its great for removing oneself from a pity party we </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
may have invited ourselves to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Putting the focus on all that one should be thankful for,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
often times shrinks the size of the proverbial mountain,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
formerly known as the molehill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Granted your molehill may be one of a more serious nature,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is still room for thankfulness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">N</span>o where in the Bible does it say we should save our thankfulness for a particular season of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the year, but instead, it teaches we should express it constantly in speech and action.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><i>"Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks </i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><i>through Him to God the Father."</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><i>Colossians 3:17</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God wants to meet our needs, he tells us many times throughout scripture to petition Him with our requests.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He came to meet our needs, emotional, physical and spiritual.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Often in times of trial, we tend to respond in the form of self-pity, anxiety and resentment,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it seems justifiable to do so!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That my friends is when Satan is attacking those very vulnerable places in our hearts, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which then threatens our confidence in God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His attempt is to get us to focus on what seems to us,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an overwhelming situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidtJFEVMSmAdvomMclCEVWDvRiasWnUxzTUfD9P07zcne9_xqgqlONS_Q5JcPd9tg2LQd2L7DUVIUq9WgZN18LxhmiEqiF24dN9hdZY_HVbWD7NPwbyKh8nhycKvo9cNEkrVJmMGYqLxYZ/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidtJFEVMSmAdvomMclCEVWDvRiasWnUxzTUfD9P07zcne9_xqgqlONS_Q5JcPd9tg2LQd2L7DUVIUq9WgZN18LxhmiEqiF24dN9hdZY_HVbWD7NPwbyKh8nhycKvo9cNEkrVJmMGYqLxYZ/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you will attempt to make a practice of thanksgiving regardless of the season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankful for each of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's what echos from my heart today.</div>

Ellery's Momma made the Ice Cream costume, isn't it amazing! So proud of her, it took a lot of work. So thankful she is the Momma to my sweet grands!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I continue to be very busy sometimes overwhelmed with my three Bible Classes I'm taking. Yet, after each class I know I will see it through to the end, so amazing and very timely for my life right now. God just always knows.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Christmas cards ordered, several gifts purchased in hopes to keep those last two months of the year a little less hectic. My DIL has offered to do Thanksgiving dinner at there new home, time to put that beautiful kitchen to the big test right? I am so thankful she is up to it!!</div>

Excited to say the Core Four Cousin trip is officially planned for March of 2016. We are taking a cruise from San Pedro to Catalina Island, to Ensenada Mexico. It's my first cruise so I am kind of excited about that, a little anxious as I don't know what to expect. What I do know for sure is our time together will be amazing as always!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Southern Ca. is finely getting some cooler temps, low tonight is suppose to be 51 degrees. What so I have to say about that.... YIPPEEEEEEE! Still, over the heat we have had this year..... I'm just to old for it....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hoping all is well with all of you, wishing you calm as we move into the holiday season!</div>

It's what echos from my heart today.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>his past summer on our wonderful road trip</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shared something with a friend, something I sometimes struggle with in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To my surprise,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she immediately felt better about her own situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was so glad to hear my life wasn't perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so taken back, "why would you think my life is perfect?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically she was basing it on my Facebook posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I assured her my life was far from perfect,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have struggles and challenges always, and we shared</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some of those things with each other, privately.<br />
Thank you sweet friend :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Friends are good like that</i></b>.... I love that she shared how she saw it<br />
if even just through Facebook :-)<br />
It really became important to me that people know<br />
me life is not without challenges as that is<u> not </u>what I desire to project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">~</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>o be clear, I have thought about it several times since.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try very hard to not share negative thoughts or negative feelings on Facebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If someone upsets me I don't post it on Facebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will not know if a friend has hurt me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if I'm upset or disappointed with a family member.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If my hubstir and I have had a disagreement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> try not to let people know when I have been let down.<br />
I will not share financial worries. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet all of these things have occurred or may occur.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will share on a negative subject if I believe it may help someone<br />
by doing so.<br />
Sometimes it's good to know we aren't alone in the muck.<br />
Okay, I may share how over this hot weather I am.<br />
Over and over and over, I may share it :-)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">~</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">F</span>acebook for me is a place to keep up with my friends and family,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where I'm able to keep up to date on their children and grand children. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A place I can follow road trips others take and live it vicariously through them.<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><b><i>Especially Judy and Elmer :-) </i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Facebook for me is a big<span style="color: #4c1130;"> <b>Namaw's brag book</b></span> where I will flood you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with photos of my little<span style="color: #990000;"> loves</span> and I will tell you how much joy they bring to my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will post photos of my friends, because they are forever memories that I choose<br />
to relive often by a quick glance at a post I've shared. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great way to share the memories with those in the photograph as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will post photos of the beauty I often see, when I take the outside in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Older people (<i>such as myself</i>), become much more aware of God's beauty each year we remain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone else notice this??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I will share my faith because it is what's <u>most</u> important in my life.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Share, not insist you believe the same so please don't think otherwise, or feel you need to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
defend yours, or attempt to tear mine apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My page, my share :-)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will share funny stories or thoughts, because humor is good for everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span>o, life is not perfect based on the joy I share on Facebook or otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many like myself choose to keep private things, well private.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not everyone needs to hear my woes, my anger or my disappointments on Facebook</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not everyone needs to know when I've had a hard day or week, when some have hard lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The world has much to much negative to toss at us daily, I choose not to add to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will <u>never </u>mean my life is perfect.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span>'m not sure why it surprises me ever year that right next to the blow up pools that are now on sale</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>(we splurged for three) </b>in August, are all things fall and next to it Christmas decor!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean can't we just enjoy the month we're in what's the rush?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are we a society that is in such a hurry that we need to decorate for an October holiday as soon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as August comes to an end?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>ypically, I decorate for a holiday once the month of the holiday arrives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once it's officially February<span style="color: #cc0000;"> (insert hearts)</span>, Spring, Fall, and Happy Birthday Jesus month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing it up in stores so early kinda stresses me out, as if its </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">shouting I need to hurry!!!!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't want to hurry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The days of hurry are gone for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I missed too much of the good in life because of the hurry syndrome. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I </span>confess I started Christmas shopping in September, quite leisurely I might add.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have cut back on that holiday budget, most of us have more than we need.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try and buy a little something that I know a person might love..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I prefer sailing into the holiday without the rush of having to rush to shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's much more fun for me this way :-)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">O</span>ften times in my life I have learned things the hard way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather it be a stubborn will, or a lack of <i>complete </i>trust,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's in the hard I learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My spiritual journey for most of my life has been one of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
relying on God until things are good again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would get to a good place and I would basically think I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
could now do this thing called life on my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the while still believing in Him,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but as the song goes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did it my way.....which never worked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">~</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>hen I rely on self or put my faith in others I am often disapointed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I rely on God, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It brings peace, full indescribable peace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't until my late 40's that I was fully committed to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
never walking away and relying on myself again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been an incredible journey once I surrendered it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all to a God bigger than any issue I may have had.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">~</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">M</span>y faith was recently tested in a very big way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am the retreat coordinator for our annual Women's Retreat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every year we contract a low number of how many we believe will attend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the knowledge we can always add.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has worked well for the last four years, at minimum we only pay for the number in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the contract.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two weeks prior I make the phone call to turn in our final count, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this year it was 84! Myself and the team that makes it all happen, worked</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
very hard and we were sure God would be doing great things on our weekend retreat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that would benefit the women of our church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were very excited about what God was going to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little did we know......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually sent my contact at the retreat center our final count of 84 via text message.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't hear back that day which was unusual, so I copied the text and emailed it the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
following day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heard back right away...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>" I'm afraid I have some bad news. This year we can only provide you the 60 beds that were in </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>the contract. We have never had a situation like this in the past, but a mega church</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>came in two days prior and bought every last bed on site and off site.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I am trying to figure something out and will be working on that until 11::00 P.M. tonight.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I can't even offer you one extra bed at this point."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To say I was shocked would be a complete understatement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart immediately heavy, as I went into a very sureal state.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do I tell 24 women they can't attend after all?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and God, I have information on some that I know need this retreat more than ever,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the timing was so perfect for them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I emailed three praying friends and asked them to start praying...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made phone calls to local hotels and motels in the vacinity of where the conference center is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone, booked solid that weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Really God?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do I attend and remain upbeat about the weekend?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some would be told that someone they were counting on being there with them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will not be there at all....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh boy, it was<b> heavy</b> friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a very long 24 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One P.M. the next day I called, I just needed to know now so I could notify the church and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
begin the unfortunate task of notifying those that could not attend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The voice on the phone tells me my contact is in a meeting, in fact the whole office is until 2 P.M.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I privately thought, perhaps they are all brainstorming trying to find away?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I wanted so badly to remain hopeful but that negative voice would remind me, </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>you are expecting 24 beds, pretty impossible.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought<i>, I know I believe God can do anything but, perhaps a bed or two. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>He could help them find one or two but 24? Well that would require a miracle of sorts!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I wait for the hour to pass and the chest pains began...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my thoughts ranged from, how do I face anyone after this...as if I would wear the scarlett</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">letter to church every week so everyone would know....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> the big<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b> R </b><span style="color: black;">on my chest</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"> It may be easier to change churches never to be heard from again!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I wish I were kidding, these are real thoughts I was having.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Crazy but real.....</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">My phone rings and I can see it's my contact from the conference center,</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Upon hearing his voice I break, he says,</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">How many? I asked....(knowing I'd still have the same problem even if he found a few.)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then I went directly to Mark 9:24,</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">A father says to Jesus,</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"</b></i></span></span><span class="p"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span class="p">This was me, I do believe, yet I had to overcome my unbelief.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b><span class="p">I have.</span></b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b><span class="p">Barely able to speak as it was just so amazingly big!</span></b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">I'm so glad I choose to share my story of unbelief (doubt) with them, I trust many will remember it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">at some point down the road when they experience something they believe may be </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">to big for God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">Many times throughout the weekend when something amazing was shared and women were </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">needing to hear just whatever it was, I would break into tears at the thought,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">they may have missed this special time......but God! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">As women left on our last day, many of them shared with me that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">they will never forget the story of the 24 beds!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">Praise God for that!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="p" style="font-size: large;">My hope is you too might remember when things seem too big for hope,</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It</span> was just summer, I look up and<b> Fall </b>has arrived!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a very busy September to be sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept meaning to sit down and blog, it just never happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Busy with Ms. Khloe and little Ellery, the time flies by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stepped down from the Women's Ministry Team, freed myself up to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
take some classes, I do love the study of my faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">O</span>n Monday evenings I'm taking a class called <b>The Way of the Heart</b>, taught by the Pastor of my Church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Course Description: <span style="color: #0b5394;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>The Way of the Heart Course is designed to be a robust and extended training in the Christian life. It is an eight-month experiential, communal, and theological journey into the depths of our call to participate in the Triune life of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is the intent of this course to see our individual stories as sharing in not only the stories of others but the grand story of God Himself, and this will be accomplished through in depth reflection on the Christian life, open and honest sharing, and a furthering of the prayer life.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Big commitment but I'm loving it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">O<span style="font-size: small;">n</span></span> Tuesday mornings I am taking my very first BSF class, (Bible Study Fellowship) and I'm very excited about it. The study is of the book of Revelation. I believe a seven or eight month commitment as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">O</span>n Tuesday evenings Bob and I are back with our original Small Group doing a study on the book of Hebrews. <b>So happy to be back with our old friends.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>hew....little overwhelming to see it all laid out together....</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I </span>have also been on the journey of planning <u>(along with an<b> amazing </b>team),</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Women's retreat for the last 6 or so months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The First weekend of October is the big event and I sense it's going to be awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's such a blessing to be a part of blessing the women of our church with a weekend away from their responsibilities of home. A time where they can actually retreat, relax enjoy the hot springs, pool, or taking some long naps! We also have an amazing speaker lined up, Carol Hopson, who spoke to us last year and was very well received.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">N</span>ot gonna lie, I will be glad when the weekend arrives,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and glad to have another one in the books and behind me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The two weeks leading up to the event is full of last minute details,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">L<span style="font-size: small;">i</span></span>ttle bits of stress here and there, all the while hoping we haven't forgotten a thing<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I </span>haven't managed to get to enjoying all of your blogs as much as I would like...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe October will allow more time to visit you and to blog my thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Seems I said this last month?) </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>his life is a journey glad to be on it with each of you !</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's what echos from my heart today....</div>
