Hello

Good Morning to all - I have had some password problems along with being very busy so I have not posted for a few weeks. Thanks to all who "comment" I love to know someone out there is taking a look at my blog.
Well, we are having a beautiful couple days of weather in Western Pa. I love to hear the birds in the morning as I sit reading and saying my prayers in the morning. I try to get up as early as possible so I have time for coffee, oatmeal and Bible reading.
Pleae keep us in your prayers my Husband and I are having some very emotional times with our (adult) son and his children. We are helping to raise the children and I just pray all the time we are doing what is best for them and that my son can find some peace in his life.

Thanks - have a blessed week-end...M

Guidance....

Praying for guidance over and over....how do you know what to do - I pray for the situtation with my two oldest grandchildren - there is such upheaval in their lives - Mom is sick with drug problems - Dad (my son) not responsible... their other Grandmother has custody and we help - I just pray over and over - show us the way - what can we do to help these children and keep them on the straight and narrow...

It is hard thinking of raising children again once you have your's raised - but we will do what we feel the good Lord is telling us...please pray for my husband and I to have direction. I feel God right there right next to me saying "I will never leave you"..

Spring has Sprung.....

It is still cold - still wearing the winter coat BUT - there is hope~

There are beautiful purple and yellow flowers poppin out in my front yard - is that a wonderful sight?
OH MY yes it it - it never ceases to amaze me how after the freezing ice and snow of winter when everything is gray....out pops those beautiful green leaves purple petals and how it can give you such hope..God is good -

Some other beautiful thoughts on changing the seasons....
fat robins
the smell of rain
opening the windows and seeing the curtains move in the breeze
blue skies with big white clouds
putting that winter coat and all that goes with it away until next year
watching the dog find that sunny spot to just lie down and enjoy
walking to the library
cleaning and actually enjoying it....
spring clothes
watching my grandchild run in the park
taking long walks and of course the Tastee Freeze...

Not long now and life will turn into the next long awaited season - Spring - I love the change in seasons. I will enjoy the spring, the summer - love the fall and even look forward to next winter - we are blessed...enjoy -

Blessed Easter.....

I read Matthew 27:51-56 this morning and was just in awe of what that "seen" must have been like - I try to go there and feel what it must have been like when "the veil of the temple was torn in two" - "rocks were split" - "graves opened"~

I will try to remain - the next few days with that seen in my mind and pray to in someway - be thankful for what HE has done for us - not sure how to even comprehend the type of LOVE HE shown us. I do know HIS love is so great and all HE wants is for me/us "minute by minute" to reconize that Love and to have Faith thoughout our journey and know that He is with us always.....

I wish you all a very Blessed Easter - Mary
