Long Overdue in Writing

Anna Grace

I am so proud of her.  Yesterday she Graduated from High School and I just can't believe that it is finally done.  She has worked so hard in her 12 years of school.  It never came easy for her.  But thru it all she just kept plugging along.  College is also going to come along now and I know that it will have its challenges as well --- but she is so ready to fly and experience new adventures.  I just can't wait to see what life will have to show her.  I pray that she will be safe and happy.  But during this next adventure I will watch her grow even more into the wonderful person that she is. 

She is so talented with her Sports -- but there is so much more to Anna; she has so much wit and humor; she is so very smart and I just can't wait to see the adult person that she becomes.

What an amazing adventure this is going to be.

SICK of being SICK and ready for some SUNSHINE and POSEY's (flowers)

My precious daughter has had the Flu and OMG has this been an adventure.  She has never really been this sick before so I have felt like she was a little girl again.  I have checked on her like hourly and nursed and worried and above all have told the DOCTORS what to do.  Now the last doc I took her too I knew would know what to do but the first one --- PEDIATRICIAN.... OM Goodness.  Well, I'm sorry but won't be taking her back there anymore.  Now granted she is too old to go there now and so this is a simple solution... but this should not be the case.
She is on the mend now and no fever anymore --- but I just hate when my children are sick.  It matters not how old or young they are you still worry. 
I haved cleaned and scrubbed the house and rooms to make sure that all the GERMS are gone.  Good grief this is NOT FUN.

Furthermore I am tired --- did I mention --- Tired of snow, rain and all the stuff that comes from the sky.  I am ready for sunshine and poseys (flowers to those that don't know what a posey is. :o)) and just SUNSHINE & WARMTH....

Okay I will stop complaining now and end for now.  Really couldn't think of anything to write about today so I thought I would just ramble.  Good place to ramble sometimes. 

Have a wonderful THURSDAY tomorrow and guess what ---- it's suppose to SNOW here tomorrow or tonight or something like that.  Uggggg.  Oh well ---

Spring is coming I know it is.  God promised..  :o)

Daniel compared to Revelation

Looking up into "Papa Tree" How mighty is HE/SHE

Daniel 8

How can I describe how powerful todays Bible Study was but to tell you to PLEASE go to:

www.pray.org

click: Resource Center

Click: Weekly Studies

Click: Lambs

and listen to todays (2/9/2020) lesson

Lesson 14 (Chapter 8)

There is no way I can describe how powerful this was.

Recap: *my interpretation

*One Evil King/Politician/Ruler will come to Power & he/they may look like they are in control --- BUT it is all in God's hands and I/we have to remain in FAITH; that God is going to take over in HIS time when HE is ready!

The purpose of why all of this is happening:

• to reveal the sinfulness of man, as we watch people become more and more against God; we need to look up to God more and more to see that God is in Control!
• Trusting God in all - everything that is happening in our lives - it all fits in with the sovereign purposes of God!
• There is a limit to what God will allow - we just have to continue to follow Him and His ways; because God will take over the control.
• Kinda like giving them enough rope to hang themselves and than HE COMES!

I pray that I did not misinterpret this Lesson and I ask that you all go and LISTEN for yourselves and than come back and leave me your comments on how you interpreted it. I would love to hear all that you have to say.

That's how we LEARN.

My Wish for a friend like you will never end

I wished for a wish.

I wished for you.

You came into my life

...My wish came true.

I met you as a stranger.

I took you as a friend.

Until I go to heaven...

My wish will never end!

True friends are angels

I believe in angels,

the kind that heaven sends,

I'm surrounded by angels,

But I call them friends.

Many people will walk in

and out of your life,

but only true friends will leave

footprints in your heart.

Cute Best Friend Poems

You are my best friend,

My very best friend,

You make me happy,

Everyday,

you share your great snacks,

You share your best toys,

So please don't take

My best friend away.

My Best Friend

Today I found a freind,

Whop knew everything I felt.

She knew my every weakness,

And the problems I've been dealt.

She understood my wonders,

And listended to my dreams.

She listened to how I felt about life and love,

And knew what it all means.

Not once did she interrupt me,

Or tell me Iw as wrong.

She understood what I was going through,

And promised she'd stay long.

I reached out to this friend

to show her that I care

To pull her close and let her know

How much I need her there.

I went to hold her hand

To pull her a bit nearer

And realized that this perfect friend I found

Was nothing but my mirror. :o)

Enjoy your day and remember that BEST FRIENDS are not replaceable and remember to give your best friend a call today or a hug or a slap on the back or whatever.... Guys included. :o)

The Grand "Papa" in my Backyard....

Has anyone read "The Shack"....

How God is referred to as "PaPa". Well I LOVE THAT.
We have this awesome 90 some odd year old Southern Red Oak in our Backyard. We built our house around it and well everything is built around this magnificant tree. I call it the Grand Papa in my Backyard. Actually I have been referring to it as the "Grand Lady" -- but have decided that I am changing it to the "Grand Papa".... for many reasons.. but again if you have read THE SHACK I can still refer to HER as PaPa.... Read the Book.... :o)

Mainly because ---

LIFE is like this Tree. You have your main trunk of your Tree and than you have all the branches and stems that go off the truck and they are the different SEASONS in your life I believe. Some of them are major and some of them are small -- but in the end you still have your MAIN TRUNK that keeps you stable. You always have it to come back to and you always will. If we think about this --- this is GOD. He is always there for us Good Times and Not so good times. But ALWAYS there for us.

I pray that God will hold you in his hand. Hold you up and keep you safe and secure in your FAITH. Ever mindful that there will be different SEASONS along the way but an ever constant. GOD our Father our Faithful our PaPa.

Love to All my Friends and my Family.....

Meg

Good Evening or should I say Good Morning

FAITH

Well is was SUPER BOWL SUNDAY -- now Monday Morning cause I am still up... Good Grief.

I think that the Colts won. I stopped watching after awhile. I have the attention span of a gnat -- and everytime I would start to watch the Saints (who I wanted to win) would start loosing again --- so I stopped. But I don't know the final score but I believe the Colts won. Well good for them. Someone had to. :o)



This week is going to be a crazy one --- new scarves to make and just a new week to begin.



Lots of many blessings to be thankful for and prayers to lift up to hopefully have answers for. I won't list my prayer list but just know that I have them and will be on my knees with them.



I will lift all my friends and family up as well. God Bless all of you this coming week and May God Bless each and every one of you.
Always trying to produce Art to Please the Lord,
Meg

About Me

I have painted off and on all my adult life. I did hang up my brushes for a few years after college, but I picked them back up several years ago, actually lots of years ago now, and started painting again. The Mediums I use most now are dyes with my textiles -- but I still do paint with Oils and Acrylics on occasion. I love to try new things, so I am always experimenting. When someone asks me what my STYLE is I shrug my shoulders and just say COLOR (or professionally call a FAUVIST).

It seems that I have come a long way in the past few years, but one thing I know for sure -- Art is my Passion -- and how many people get to say that they can get up in the morning and love to go to work. I can and I thank God and my family for that.
