Tears

Talk about tears...seems we are all shedding our share these days...some sad but mostly happpy.I just got back from Walmart-Chris took me early before she went to work and I got a lot of heavy things that I can't handle on the bus..Got them unpacked and then checking the posts.One from Chris,Joel, and Tia. And you know m eyes were washed with tears again. Just to see my 'baby' so happy and excited about this new venture they are stepping into.I think about that home on Ridgepine...all the sweat, blood and tears and so mucb love that has gone into it.It is more than a house-so many happy memories!!!! A few real sad ones,but God brougt you all thru' I thank God that I have had a small part in it all.Changes.....life changes day by day...nothing remains the same....Only our God and His love reain the same forever.Praise His name!! Driving around this great city we call 'home' and see all the changes and I think its too big and I am happy that C and K are getting out of it.I think of what Bessie said about Raosenaae going to Albion and going out to Condit Rd where Dale and Mom and Dad and Larry had all built homes--Oh, there are memories there!! And as Joel was saying you can't go back to the way it was for all has changed.RoseAnne said our familys' three homes have been taken down-nothing left we would recognise due to some road work.I just can't imagine what it must look like now.I just can't.Talk about tears!!
Change of subject.Today is Larrys' birthday. He is 56.Such a precious son..(tears are coming) I must give a birthday call.
Gina said that Joy had made her first post today and gave me her address but I am unable to bring it up.I would love to have the whole family doing this-Larry would like to but hasn't gotton around to it yet and Cheryl doesn't think much of computers.I know that Mike and Joy could make some good ones about their life in the UP,their trips out west and deer season and camp.
I have rambled on but will let you go now.Have a good day and keep on blogging.

A Quiet Place

2005-09-22T09:12:00.000-07:00

Tia, your blog this am about a quiet place to meditate reminded me of this poem that I have on my bedroom wall.

I daily seek a quiet place
that's far from trouble and strife
Where I can piece together all
the puzzles of my life.
It's there,away from TV and books
and far from the telephone,
that I can fellowship with God;
just He and I alone.
And there God pours His balm of love
into the life I live,
And there I find a peace and joy
that only He can give.
I will not fear the circumstances
I face from day to day,
for daily, in my quiet place,
I'm learning how to pray.
