One Day At A Time

They say that what doesn't kill you,

makes you stronger.

Well, time will tell :)

I've been doing a lot of yard work

and my flowers are amazing this year.

This is the first post that I have tried doing

on the new Blogger platform.

I'm not sure that I like it,

but then when I get used to doing something

a certain way and it works,

I don't like changing it.

My motto is:

"If it isn't broken, don't fix it!"

But, I also believe that an old dog

can learn a new trick.

So, here I am learning as I go.

Such is life.

God bless you all and thank you

for visiting my little blog.

I'm Still Alive,

If anyone is interested . . .

I'm still alive . . .

although; I don't necessarily

always feel that way.

My world is never going to have

the joy it was once so used too.

For 44 years I was always kissed good-night.

Now, I would give all I have for another

one of his loving kisses.

I would love even to hearing the words,

"What's for dinner?"  

We were silly to some people because

we told each other 

"I Love You"

many times during each day.

We felt it often and we said it often.

Silly or not, I'm glad we did!

God joined us and made us one . . .

each year growing closer

and more in love.

It's impossible to explain the pain.

Some people try to comfort 

and say things like "I understand"

No they don't . . . 

not unless they have gone thought it.

All that I can say is 

don't waste a minute . . .

Life is short . . . if you love someone

be sure they know it.

I know that my Steve knew it,

just like I know how deep his love 

was for me.

Love is the greatest gift of all . . .

that's what makes being apart hurt so much.

We all  have heard the saying . . .

It's better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.

It's very true 

but I must add that the lost

part of it hurts so much . . .

the deeper the love, the deeper the pain.

So, sweet blogging sisters

make sweet memories

and never, never, never

forget to say.

I Love You.

You cannot say it too often. 

God bless you all.

Your blogging sister,

Connie

Doing Our Best To Stay Positive

Doing Our Best To Stay Positive

I think it is important

to build each other up

and to encourage one another in love.

I ventured out this week

and went to Home Depot.

No, I'm not there to rob the place . . .

although it looks like it, with my mask, LOL.

I appreciated how they were only

allowing so many in the store at a time

and encouraging personal distancing.

I purchased a few things 

to start getting ready 

for my summer garden. 

It feels good to get outside

in the sunshine.

Butchy has been my companion

and what a little trooper he is.

See the little spot between his eyes.

There was one of those awful warts

that older dogs get . . .

right there between his eyes.

So; last night after bathing him,

I did a little surgery.

It bled for a few minutes but 

he didn't even flinch.

Looks great this morning :)

 It is a particularly hard and lonely

time for me . . .

but I know that it is, for many of us.

It's a wonderful time for doing 

the things that truly matter.

This quarantine has given us all 

more time to slow down.

I read this verse this morning.

And this is the confidence which we 

have in Him: that if we ask anything 

according to His will, 

He listens to and hears us. 

          I John 5:14

 

Have you ever wondered if God 

hears your prayers? 

He does!

This verse confirms it. 

Prayer is a powerful tool that 

we have to communicate with 

our Father in heaven.

We can talk to Him about any 

and everything that is weighing

heavy on our hearts. 

He wants a relationship with us,

He loves it when we come to Him in prayer.

He loves us and enjoys it 

when we interact with Him.

So, take what is on your heart today

and speak to the Lord about it

and trust that He hears you.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

What better way to spend your day :)

Well, that's my post for today.

I hope it brings you comfort.

God bless you all

&

remember we are one day closer

to this virus being over :)
