Too Often

Oh my…how my heart breaks.  As a former teacher I know that there were always several drills we had to practice.  Tornadoes, storms, all of which could be horrible….but an intruder drill is most certainly something we never wanted to have to apply.

 Lord, oh Lord…be with the families of those involved.  Be with those who have lost their children, their friends, their relatives.  How my heart aches for them…..

Far too often.....-2

With a heavy heart…but knowing our encouragement comes from Jesus Christ~we know that indeed~

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

Erase That!

 

I love sharp pencils. So much so that my friend at the station brought me some mechanical ones. And of course, it must have a full eraser.

I noticed the other day something interesting though, when you erase something….part of it still remains. You truly cannot erase everything. Even if you think you have done so, there is still an impression that the pencil has left.

Like our past, we truly can never rid ourselves of it. Our past can actually be our focus, or we can leave it there and look to the future.

We learn from our past if we allow the Father to use it in our lives.

Or we can keep trying and trying to erase that word instead of moving forward onto the next one.

I think I will keep looking forward, but will use that eraser when needed!

I Can See Clearly Now

 

 

It used to just be reading glasses…

Do you like to read?  I must say it is one of my favorite past times…even if I fall asleep when I do it before bed.    

Then these things started happening…..When I turned 40 my arms simply were not long enough. Then I had to transfer from just reading glasses to the tri focal version.  And now at 57, they are the first thing I grab in the morning. In fact…let’s see a show of hands…who has gotten into the shower with them on? Or better yet, pushed them up on your nose only discover that you have already removed them and they are not on!!!!
