Just a simple thought from Nona

Life is full, but is it meaningful? Busyness does not equate with effectiveness, usefulness, or satisfaction! I have been busy, but is it a life that is satisfying? I am forever changed by the events of our trip to China and realize that what really matters in life is what we are storing up for the next life. My children and grandchildren are the primary reasons for my life here in Oregon. I love the fact that we as a family have been able to traverse the often difficult transition in adult relationships with our daughters and their husbands, Well now, the grandkids are easy....who doesn't love adorable little people? I do ramble on don't I? I have been gone this week for a couple of days, spent some time with the grandchildren in Mayberry, as my daughter likes to call the little city where they live. I realized why we have children when we are young, they have tons of energy and creativeness that I can hardly keep up with. My friend found herself in Federal Court this week, sometimes one must ask??????where is justice oh God? I trust God will deal with people who think they are above righteous decisions! It is hard to keep up with all that is going on around me and yet not hear the cry within for a life that brings glory to God. I am ruined by being in God's presence and I long for it on a 24/7 basis. Please do keep reading my blog, I will get my head on straight here shortly and return to a good blog of sorts. More later! A Nona with not many thoughts for today.
