All shall be well

 


I am just past 57 and a half years old and heading into 60 at a fairly steady clip.

Remember when “a half” was something you really counted? 

I am thankful for my health. I am thankful that I am a person of faith.

I am thankful for my belief that I am just a  sojourner here.

When I see people so upset over what is happening in our country and in the world

I wonder if they are people of faith. 

Though there are certainly very good reasons to be upset I will not give up my heart to that mentality. 

~

Create in me a clean heart, O God, 

And renew a right spirit within me.

Is my prayer at the beginning of every day and

“Thank you for the gift of this day and these people.

If I have offended please show me how to make amends.”

Is my prayer at end of day. 

~ ~ ~

Thankful Thursday

    You sure look a LOT younger than you really are! I would never have guessed! I don't know how people can live without faith and hope, it must be such a bleak life.

      I think it must be a rather bleak life as well, Ginny.

    There's always something—usually many somethings—to be thankful for. Sometimes when we get weighed down we have to look a bit harder to find them but they're there. Thanks for the reminder.

    You do look very young and happy! It's a good time to be thankful for what we have rather than wishing it was different! Enjoy your day!

    You look wonderful and no doubt your faith, and attitude, contribute to that. Thank you for linking up and have a great week.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
