Prayer

Dear God:

Thank you for reminding me that while I have made mistakes,

I have learned from them things I needed to know about myself.

Thank you for being patient with my impatience.

Thank you for being so gentle and compassionate with me

when I am beating myself up.

Thank you for showing me that when I focus on what is missing,

I miss the opportunity to be grateful for what I have.

 Thank you for your Mercy & your Love !

Amen!

💗

Sending *hugs & love to you !💕

Sometimes I get a little hung up on:

WHAT I need to do with my life?

Am I doing it ?

Cause....if it didn't feel like I was doing it...

how do I know ?

Is life doing me ?.

And.

That tends to drive me a little batty.

Makes me a little anxious.

So...

I traded in that hang-up for a new hang-up:

HOW am I doing life ?

I likey !

To focus more on the HOW.

How am I doing ?

I can pretty much figure that out.

If my HOW was yucky....[selfish, false or unkind]

then I will feel that yuckiness to my core.

No doubt!!

BUT !

If my HOW was good, organic,loving & kind ?

Oh...yes.

More of that feeling please!

And.

The great news is...

the choice is mine!

I can work with that !!! :)

Hugs & love 💗

Feet

" What your Feet would say if they could talk....

If  you want to get from here to there,

put one of me in front of the other.

If you're reaching for the moon

keep one of me on the ground.

If the ground slips away,

use both of me to find your footing.

But if you want to make a quantum leap,

use your heart--

& if you follow your heart,

we promise to find you a road."

Sometimes, when you can't go forward,

backward,

or sideways...

just go up.

Meet up with God.

He gives the best directions !😉

And I am pretty sure, it makes him happy when 

He gets you all to Him-self. :)

Hugs & love 💗

Challenge

" God is as close as I want Him to be, 

and as close as I will allow Him to be,

every second of every day. "

I can't say that my life is simple or easy,

but it is blessed.

Even in the messiest moments,

when things seem to be falling apart...

I know I need only to pause & pray.

His strong arms are always there.

Hugs & Love 💗

More

" The more life you let in,

then the more life you have."

More has been unleashed in my world.

Horse nickers and hooves at the farm.

Flowers blooming in the yard.

A fantastic reunion, along with a nice little get-away 

with some friends that I haven't heard from in 40 years.

And then... along came Molly!

I may have mentioned a time or two...

 " A rabbit would be nice!" 

And... I did watch Peter Rabbit,

and spout out...." That makes me want to get a rabbit !"

Which was hubby's cue to declare,

"we don't need no damn [insert animal here] rabbit!"

So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, when two days later....

 I find a baby rabbit lounging... stretched out,

 in the middle of the parking lot of our local market.

I did the only thing I could do....

I  pulled along side, to check on her.

But...

when I opened my door...

she ran for shade...under my car!

I couldn't get her to come out.

I tried. 

I ended up having to phone a friend.

Luckily she was working at the market at the time.

She came darting out the door, like a super-hero.

She even managed to grab a guy,

 out of his car at the near-by car wash,

 [for back-up]

 as she was running by.

So, after the...

 three of us squirmed around on our bellies under my car...

 in the MIDDLE of a parking lot..

on hot pavement....

Donning re-usable grocery bags for gloves.

Then catching her & trying to find her a home...

Molly came along.

And Rex ?

Well it's been a  little hot to ride,

but I DO go visit him,

 and give him some lovin's

 and pick him some clover, 

and maybe try to take a selfie or two with him.

He doesn't do selfies very well.

We're still practicing. 😉

So grateful for the Love from God, who provides

for these sweet creatures & blesses my 💗

with these beloved friends.

XOXO
