Thoughts, forgotten to post!

I don't know why I have forgotten to post low these past several months, but alas I have.  Could it be the dramatic, traumatic events of life have overwhelmed me?  I wonder?  Papa diagnosed with cancer, surgery, motorcycle accident, and my teeth needing a complete re-vamping.  Been a little busy when you add in all the fun things, a week at lake Shasta with the six Oregon grandkids, a trip to LA to get a new visa and two visits to see grandma Mary in the last six months.  Have seen good friends and shared laughs with those passing through.  Life is life, full of ups and downs.  Events all wrapped up in the perspective of good and bad.  I have found that if I don't like my reality I need to change my perspective.  God is good and HIS plans are always for my good, to give me a HOPE and a future.  I think I will find my rest in HIM today and think on HIS goodness.  HE is my forever, faithful Father and Friend.

What THOUGHTS! I need a new mind.

It took me so long to sign into my blog today that I am wondering if any of my thoughts reflect my current ability to remember. Uhhhhhhhh........lets hope not.

I wanted to share some thoughts regarding a blessed home going celebration we attended yesterday for a dear saint and long time friend.  His family is a great testimony of his heart for God.  All his children and grandchildren are serving the Lord and are in love with Jesus.  Everything about them reflects the essence of God; what an awesome heritage to observe.  Interestingly enough, his two youngest daughters use to babysit our three daughters and I use to tell their Mom that if my girls turned out to be like her girls I would have done a great job.  Yesterday, her girls told me how impacted they were by my girls earnest prayers before bed and how they were convinced my little girls personally knew Jesus at the age of four.  Perspective is a great tool God adjusts to let us know that HE has been at work, is at work and will be working in our lives.  I am blessed to have wonderful daughters and son-in-laws, great grandchildren and a wonderful extended family.  God help me to leave behind a legacy of loving Jesus and living in HIS will.
