Nice Weather.....

Hi all...

I woke up to some awesome weather this morning. Cool and sunny with a soothing breeze.....just the perfect way to start a week off right.

I came down with a cold the end of last week and was feeling pretty rough for a few days, but thanks to a few of you out there who have taken the time to send me supplements and info on stuff to keep me healthy I am kicking this cold in record speed. It is the first cold I have had since the first of the year and I can tell the difference in how my immune system is kicking in faster and better. Many thanks to you all who have helped get me in a healthier place.

Anyway as I went out this morning to tend to my critters the cool, clear air felt soooooo good! I could tell my animals were enjoying it as well.

The reason I keep talking about it is because it just made me feel so good to be alive. Does that make sense?

Sometimes things just get so hard on this planet that I forget how good a deep breath can feel and how a cool breeze can feel so wonderful on my face. I forget that it is OK to be glad I am alive and enjoying my place on planet earth.
Hard it can be..no doubt about it however, life is precious and to be enjoyed and valued.

I read a post from a doomsday writer the other day and he was saying how he could not understand how people could be enjoying life when so many bad things were happening all around.How they seemed to be having a 'Party' like attitude. He was disgusted by their lack of discernment and he was feeling so bad and had been in prayer all week feeling the pit of doom all around. Truthfully I was ready to go hang myself after I read his post. I felt his despair and anger at all the clueless people and wondered if I needed to get the sack cloth and ashes out for myself.

But then when I went out this morning it kind of hit me....
I know things are hard...I know things are not right...I know people are basically clueless....I know how bad things can get and are getting on this planet...
however, I also know that our Father is still in control. He said not to worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow take care of itself.....He said there is a time for everything and a purpose for everything under heaven... He said He would never leave me or forsake me....

He created this planet and all the wonderful things on it. The cool breezes that sooth our faces, the fresh air and clear skies...and yes we still have that in spite in chem-trails....the beautiful mountains, streams, oceans, and prairies....
The laughter of little children and the soft cheeks of babies. The beautiful colors of fall and the smell of flowers. The soft hand of an old woman who has cared for many in her life.
There are so many wonderful things still on this planet that it seems a horrible thing to forget about all there is.

I do not think it glorifies or Father when all we do is cry and wail at all the bad only to forget all of the good He has given us.

Taking the time to enjoy life is not a bad thing to feel awful about. Taking the time to sing, dance or have a picnic is not a sin. Taking the time to take a walk and really enjoy nature or hike a trail or drive to look at the wonderful changing foliage of fall is not a bad thing at all.

It does not mean you are indifferent to the pain of this world.... it just means you are alive....And did not our Savior die for our sins so we could have life? Eternal life begins when you ask Him into your heart, not when your flesh dies.

Life on this planet is precious.... take the time to smell the roses He has given us.....


Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more thanconquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
