The birthday surprise was a success for the 80th birthday celebration of my husband’s father. We all enjoyed watching him race around the track in an exotic sports car (Ferrari 258) at Driveway Austin, Texas. So fun!
Gratefully we were able to stay in our travel trailer we were able to revamp some and finish just before we left Indiana. One morning I was waking up in our tin can ranch in a rather wretched state FILLED with GRATITUDE for so much:
– the weather outside was 40 degrees warmer than at home!
– I got to be with family and attend more events than in the weeks before we left.
– the pattern of isolation was opened for a time to be with dear loved ones.
– I had a clean place to which to retreat as needed, even when travelling.
– the kitchen was always open with Julie foods from my restoration diet.
– even the pup (Elle) was having fun roaming out and about with the horses and playing with a sweet Golden Retriever (Molly) and a snarly yet loveable old Lab (Leah).
– I got to talk to a rep again from the lab largely involved in my recovery from serious illness. A plan is coming together!
– the Facebook group dedicated to this lab’s state-of-the-art work in mercury toxicity is growing and people are going to get well including me!
– and almost of the time was spent at the side of my beloved Stevers: my bestest buddy in the whole world!
While there is so much work yet to do after these many days of exhausting travel and more tanks of gas than anyone predicted, our hearts are full this night!
Just when the sorrows mixed with a “million” tears burdened my soul, there are even more evidences of the Lord’s goodness everywhere in my world as we roam.. Our fuzzy friend sleeps softly in the back seat. My husband rocks to the Newsboys on CD as we cruise in the brisk night air. We got to see Steve’s cousin (Cathy) yesterday and his daughter (Rebekah) today for two sweet side trips in southern cities enroute. The Lord added His increase when I was too weak to pack up in my own strength this morning. And Steve’s work projects will come together just fine when he returns to work tomorrow afternoon. Ahhhh. Shall I go on?
So many blessings surround each of us if we but open our minds and hearts to the possibilities. We can humble ourselves and be willing to live life along with the obstacles. That’s just how we roll these days, this post-Thanksgiving week. How about you my Gentle Reader? Please do tell!
Take care, JJ
From my truck I see kayak racks: looks like it’s time for a road trip South.
From our flagstone patio I see the bluest hue of sky that comes with the chill of this season.
From my jewelry studio comes the reflections of many table lamps bouncing off the walls as I strain to create, to sew, to knot into the night.
From our bed I ponder this life as the hours pass in the dark, in the light since the popcorn ceiling never made any sense when I tried to connect the dots up there anyways.
From lying on the kitchen floor I cover my eyes and cradle my head to minimize the brightness of the nickel light fixture, the damage from the internal unrest tossing me about, and the discomfort from not making it to the bed in time. The pup sniffing my hair is sweet indeed.
And when I look up from my heart to my mind’s eye I see my Lord who whispers His words of comfort that this strife too shall pass. He makes all things new don’t you know and this happens whether we can see it, feel it, find it in this fleeting moment of a day. This is where I must persevere as I never cease to look beyond today to a better tomorrow. It must come. It will come! Oh yes, it does.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
