How He loves to fashion beauty from those ash heaps in our lives! What hope that brings.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading your Isaac posting.<br /><br />And I'm sending purry hugs and thoughts as you think of Sasha running through the flowers.Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-63543736655633989872009-09-23T22:06:42.694-04:002009-09-23T22:06:42.694-04:00We are in transition at this moment. Towards what...We are in transition at this moment. Towards what we are not sure. Some decisions we can make on it and others are made for us. Isen't that they way all of life is anyway? I get scared then have to say to myself "God is still in control". We can only do what we can each day.. then the next. I always loved the Bing Crosby record Count Your Blessings...the one that goes.."When you're worried and you can't sleep, just count your blessings instead of sheep..and you'll fall asleep counting your blessings." Isen't that the truth. Also liked the song Smile. So many of life's moments just pass right over our radar so to speak. We don't even see the hundreds of blessing we have received. That car that could have hit you but they noticed you at the last minute, the virus that just got whiped off that door handle before you grabbed it etc. Stupid examples but you understand. Then there are the many times you know you were blessed. Many of us could have even died several times but didn't. So many blessings pouring down. We may not have much but we surely have more than a lot of people in this world do...etc. It sure is good to hear someone tell of how God brought them out like you do Brenda. I cannot tell you what a blessing you are to my life Brenda. Thankyou again for using your talents here. You sure have a loyal fan club with all of us for sure!! As you see from all who write you touch many lives. Also I want to add I just noticed I Hope You Dance on your play list. I didn't have a speaker for a while and so haden't played your play list for a while...SO glad to see this one there too! You are right again that when you love your pets you never forget them..then again they are another sweet blessing aren't they..:) JodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-40098686439942099472009-09-23T20:54:06.234-04:002009-09-23T20:54:06.234-04:00Thinking of you and your family .

That is blessed healling time. As always, you also give me a reminder of the faith that I have and the connection I have to God and to remember to rely on him . Also a diabetic, I'm currently dealing with 2 seperate types of infections. I need to remember to ask for help in healing and symptom relief.Diananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-61611878804211297762009-09-23T19:51:30.404-04:002009-09-23T19:51:30.404-04:00I'm with you Nana Trish - I have times when al...I'm with you Nana Trish - I have times when all I can do is beat myself up for the stupid decisions I've made. <br /><br />((((((Brenda)))))) - I like to believe that my animals will be in heaven to run to me when I get there.

My family and I have had many pets over the years, but 1 cat "Kilo" and 1 dog "Cuddles" both lived with us for over 18 years. They are still missed.<br />I believe God was giving you some peace by your memories of your time by the pond. I look forward to reading more. My own life has been a bit crazy lately and finally the light bulb went off and I realized how badly I had put God on the back burner. Life does tend to get crazy without God!<br /><br />Thank you so much for the video of Give Me Jesus. That has been my favorite song(and think of it more as a prayer being sung)since I first heard it. I came across it reading Ruth Graham Lotz's book, Give Me Jesus. Watching it brought back wonderful memories of my Grandma Faye who taught me to love Jesus and who so enjoyed listening to Billy Graham. <br /><br />May Jesus continue to hold you and give you the peace you need in the days ahead.<br /><br />JillyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-58876384519995449692009-09-23T11:09:33.473-04:002009-09-23T11:09:33.473-04:00I especially love when you write about the transit...I especially love when you write about the transition period. I, too,feel like I have had two lives. Not reincarnation or anything, but my first twenty years as an adult have been so different than the last twenty. The Lord is always faithful and I know that. If I stay focused more on Him than on what my friends have and do I am good. Once I start turning around and looking at choices I have made and how different things could have been I get discouraged. I am so thankful to have found a sweet friend with lots of similarities. Your writing is truly a blessing for me.Nana Trish is Living the Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401202649082669911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-33875264569115130552009-09-23T10:41:49.411-04:002009-09-23T10:41:49.411-04:00Continued hugs being sent your way.Continued hugs being sent your way.Scrappy quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643346408388508283noreply@blogger.com
