No Worries Even In Turbulence Skies...

A comfortable plane ride was about to get bumpy. 

The voice of the captain interrupted in-flight beverage service and asked passengers

 to make sure their seatbelts were fastened. 

Soon the plane began to roll and pitch like a ship on a wind-whipped ocean. 

While the rest of the passengers were doing their best to deal with the turbulence,

 a little girl sat through it all reading her book. 

After the plane landed, she was asked why she had been able to be so calm.

 She responded, 

“My daddy is the pilot and he’s taking me home.”

Whether the storm we encounter today is the result of  or some trial or sorrow

 or just a rough and bumpy ride,

we can be confident that all is not lost. 

Our Pilot can handle the storm. He will get us home.

This is a partial portion of a devotional from 

Our Daily Bread Devotional

Sometimes life can be so uncomfortable;

But yet others around us are just smooth sailing.

We are all in different places and in different time zones!

But may we all put our trust in the only hope that will allow us a smooth landing!

Get Back On Your Horse And Ride...

 

Ride Like The Wind

Sometimes we just need to face our fears!

Riding into them at times can push back the doubt and the unknown!

When my son was a young man he use to go camping,

Sometimes by himself or at times with a friend.

I will always remember what he told me one time that his best friend said

on a very dark evening when it was time to go to sleep.

My son told him not to be afraid of the dark!

His friend shouted back,

I am not afraid of the dark!!

"But rather what's in the dark"

We either have the choice to ride into our dark spots,

We all can attest to the fact that many times the dark clouds will

Just dissipate and up ahead, is the clear blue sky and a smooth plain.

The thing I feared the most came upon me...

As I have read that before I had a resolve to not fear the unknown!

But we all know fear is just that fear.

But there are going to be times that sensing fear will be your friend!

Being aware and not being naive is a powerful tool to use!

I have a voice and so do you,

We must speak the truth in love and work on our own hearts!

I do not want to allow the enemy of my soul to be allowed to silence me;

Or to stop me from enjoying my life, one day at a time!

Get back on your horse dear one and ride...

What is your gift?

Are you using it?

It is time to get back to the real life

And live it...

Perseverance is the only way we can have the strength to ride again!

Remember to not just tell the people what they want to hear;

Or to write what is popular, do what matters to you!

A Stay At Home Grandmother ...

What Are You Holding In Your Hand

Sometimes it is just the simple things in life that really give us a pop!

I find the everyday rituals and comforts give me a sense of peace.

Washing dishes or folding laundry does that for me now days.

It wasn't always like that;

I thought these things were mundane tasks till one day;

I realized that if I gave thanks while doing these same tasks,

I was transformed as so were the tasks.

I have also learned to do something for myself every day!

I may read or sew a little bit, I do a Bible study.

Make a special dessert, take a walk!

Call a friend!

Take some photos of something I think is lovely!

Just a special thing that is not on a To Do List...

I wanted to share this photo I took a while back and it was used for a magazine!

You can see it if you want if you click the link right under the picture.

That sweet little hand belongs to one of my grandsons.

Even as a Grandmother, I have had great rewards of being able to be

A Stay At Home Grand Mother...

What Does A Stay At Home Grandmother Get To Do?

We are available to be a big part of our grandchildren's life!

We can interact with them with more frequency.
We can tell them stories of our own childhood.
We can impart wisdom in small tidbits that can have a big impact!
We can help with things that they might need, if no one else is available.

Just being able to spend time with them!
So many Mothers are working now days, but if a Grandmother or Grandfather,
Can help and be there and engage in all different parts of their lives.

Helping them with school work
Teaching them how to do things (bake and cook and sew)
For the guys, (fishing, working on a car or truck,or sports)

Being and active and engaging Grand parent is a powerful gift!
For us and for the children...

See in every season we can be bearing fruit for our families!

What is one of your special things you get to do with your children
Or grandchildren?

Be The Best Grandparent You Can Be!!

Evil Is Now At The Gates...

 

Jury Summons

The word brings a chill to one's spine;

Okay, maybe you're one of those that love getting one of these summons in the mail

Or maybe you're a reader from another country and you are not familiar with these!

But when I think about having to sit in a court room and having

To listen to things that on a normal day I try to avoid!

It does not sound like much fun to me!

So many do not want to obey the law;

We may not even think we have too!

But we do have to obey and follow them!

These laws keep us safe and it keeps others from doing anything

that they think is right in their own eyes!

But I have realized something lately;

Maybe it is just me, but I can see the evil is now at the gate!

Evil can flood into a home a city or a country!

The way to keep it out is to obey!

To humble our hearts and to do good!

Pray for our Husbands to be wise!

Pray for our Leaders in our cities!

Pray for Godly Judges!

We can change the world by doing what is right and true;

From within our homes and our city and country!

We are called to be a light!

Even when it gets darker, our light must become seen in all we do!

After an encounter with evil, I still will do and be what is required of me!

Sometimes I wish I was an ostrich, and I could stick my head in the sand!

Stand your guard!

Watch at the gates!

No evil shall enter our hearts...

You Must Learn To Go Up And Forward...

We ladies can truly miss the days that have come and gone!

And because of this, we must be careful we do not get stuck!

I miss so many things about the way life that use to be;

But I have been turning into a new person,

It has not been very easy or a lot of fun, "until I changed my attitude!"

I am going up and in the right direction!

I am going to embrace this season and change in my life!

I am going to count my blessings and agree to disagree with some!

I am not going to allow the liberal way of thinking to rob me of my peace!

Have you felt discouraged?

Have you felt like quitting everything?

Do you spend time thinking how things didn't work out as you planned?

Well, join the club, but we are to never give up or retreat!

I choose to be filled with joy and respond with hope!

If we all wrote down all our woes on one page,

And we wrote down all our blessings on another, which one would be longer?

Start a blessing book this season!

~It is really very easy and simple to do and will bring you hope~

Every day or evening write down a few things you are thankful for!

Look up, for your redemption draws nigh...
