Hide and Seek

Psa. 14:2

From heaven God gazed down upon mankind, to see if there exists a reflective
person who seeks out God.

Have you ever watched kids play hide and seek when the seeker didn't really want to play? The hidden child waits and waits to be found but no one is seeking. They are excited, then curious, then restless and finally disappointed and hurt. No one was looking for them.

How God must love us to keep encouraging us to seek out His ways, to hold off his coming to allow us the time to look for him, to delve into his mysteries. I want to be a reflective person who seeks out God for myself, not just swallow what others have found. I'd rather be the one who looks into Holy places for myself. I don't want to hurt the Holy One with my apathy.

Is Someone trying to tell me something?

It's been quite an interesting 24 hours. Last night during the thunderstorm, I believe our house was hit by lightening or awful close. It blew out our electricity and it took many hours to restore it. The outlet in my bathroom is blackened after I saw electricity shoot out of it. It blew our master switch on our panel. Our phones still don't work but at least we've got electricity now.

Then my hard working hubby went to dump some dirt at his dad's farm. While shoveling it into the dumping area, he fell off the tailgate of his truck. He had no one around and he was hurt very badly. He had to struggle to breathe and finally was able to drive himself to where his dad was. They called an ambulance and took him to hospital. He was there most of the day. He's at home now, cracked ribs and very sore. Lots of pain meds and we're happy to report no internal bleeding or damage to his organs. He still has trouble breathing when he moves, especially walks. Now the challenge is going to be to get him to rest long enough to get better.

I think he's vying for some nurturing from his wife.

Do you think Someone is trying to tell us something? Hmmmm....

A Time to Gather....

Well, don't know about you but I love harvesting things from my very small container garden. We've had lots of peas. 3 cucumbers. 3 Zuchinni. Lettuce ... plenty. Herbs are growing well and need to be used more. Tomatoes are averaging 1 - 2 red ones per day. Our strawberry and blue berries are pretty sad this year.

We decided to go to a U-pick and pick strawberries. 3 ice cream pails full. That is lovely.

I love fresh food ....
think I'll check the farmers market.

Happy Birthday to my young adult daughter.... 13!

Happy Birthday to my oldest and my first to reach young adulthood (since we're avoiding the teen word)....
May God grant you wisdom in your decisions for your future and
may you be responsible to ask God's guidance every step of the way.

We love you , Happy Birthday.

Things to be thankful for....

Quote of Thursday

"

Grandma did you bring your new kitty? We have a kitty pool for
it. It can swim there."

It took some explaining to say the difference between kitty and kiddie pools. Cats don't really like swimming even in this heat.

Midlife Crisis - Mister

Here's my second installment in my midlife crisis...

Mister... not a man.
a mist-er

Those things you hookup to your hose and it mists you... to cool you down.
Here's my logic...
If I'm this hot now... imagine what hot flashes in this heat is like.
I figure if I invest in it now ..
I should get alot of milage out of it when the hot flashes hit.
Hopefullly it will be totally unnecessary but... you never know.
I could use it right now anyways....

wow they are nice.
