I'll have to think on that - I'm sure that I do - I just need to NOT be at work and focus on what God is saying to me.

I think I posted about the Martina McBride song in the Smile thread, but wanted to post more words- and this just seemed to be the right place.
Blessed:
I get kissed by the sun (Son) each morning
Put my feet on a hard wood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
down the hall through the bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my front pourch swing
just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place
I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
with so much more than I deserve
to be here with the ones that love me
to love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
and it continues...
As I mentioned in the Smile thread, I often feel so blessed that I am able to be here to watch my Grandchildren grow! To see my Sons. I truly have been blessed!!!

I love the song..........thank you for sharing it hsgma.
Isn't it true..........
To love so much it hurts....
I use to think that meant because they hurt you or you have a broken heart........but now I know it doesn't mean that........
I would never have imagined I could love so much, so deeply, so purely that it would hurt but I do......and it is the most wonderful feeling in the world.
And you know what........I believe .........I really do.......
That some day I will find a man who I can love with even more love then I have yet experience...........and that makes my heart sing.......
God showed me something really cool the other day..........about the man I will love this way.........I don't know if I posted it or not........I will go check BRB.

How was daddy's day?
oh it was great! we went to amusement park nearby where my sister got us season passes for Christmas and had a good time. the weather wasn't hot (it was mid 90s earlier in the week) but still sunny. over half the waterpark was shut down but we enjoyed what we could and rode a lot of rides too. i'm sure we'll go back a lot more this year. i think next daddy day, we'll do Howe Caverns and/orIroquois Indian Museum

We are a lot alike in the fun things we chose to do with children. I take the girls to a water park every year........We always have such a blast.
This year I am hoping to take them to a cave in southern indiana. It is an easy one for children plus has a good river for canoing.
I am an outdoors type gal and always try to do things with the girls which are outdoors and active.
I take them hiking at the local state parks, to the beach, camping,bike riding, horseback riding and swimming.
Last year I took K kayaking once and she loved it so I hope to do that again this year.
I am on a limited budget so the things I do with them are inexpensive yet full of experiences and memories well worth the time investment.
While they are young I think it is so important I invest in their lives, especially since I know soon they will not be in my life as much, with them moving to their own place.
The really cool thing.........is I know that God will bring new children in my life, either as my own or through another means........and I get to do all this fun stuff with them as well.

quote:
Does anyone have a special piece of nature which, when seen, reminds you of something God said to you?
Pure, unadulterated nature ... all of it speaks to me directly from God.
There is only one catch: that I open my eyes to it. It's that simple. Running around with my mind full of so many things, the busyness of life, is what takes my focus off God and all He has given for me to enjoy.
And every once in a while when I am running around, my mind full of a million little thoughts, I will stumble across something ... such as a weed growing out of a crack in the sidewalk with a shockingly bright flower ... it's so unusual, so out of place ... and it catches my attention ... and it immediately brings me back to a place of humility before God. He planned that just for me to see, to bring my mind back into focus on Him. Only someone else who chooses to walk with Him can understand that emotion.
As far as what it says to me? These are the verses that come to mind:
And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! - Matthew 6:28-30
And I am once again reminded to have faith in Him. That He will always be there for me. That He will always provide for me. And I am reassured of His tremendous love for me.

Hey guys, just wanted to post a prayer request before I leave for the weekend... I will be going to my niece's wedding. This is the Ex's family, her Dad and my Ex were brothers- her Mom and I are the "Sister-out-laws". As some of you know there have been problems between my Sons and their Dad's family since his death. The "family", of course, will be at the wedding too. Please pray that there is peace, that my Sons are not hurt in anyway, and that my niece's wedding is the happy event that it should be.
And if you feel so inclined, pray that I will refrain from ripping off the heads of any/all family members... at least until after the reception...  , just kidding... I think. 
Praying!

Your welcome hsgma.
Wasn't the sunrise beautiful this morning..........the temp is wonderful, the sky so blue and the birds busy singing..........
Don't you love how the Lord designed things to work?
After the darkness of night, lite only by his light reflected upon the moon, comes morning. Full of color, promise and songs of praise.
Nature's truths reflect God's truth.........and the sun always rises.
A new day a dawning.

Does anyone remember the gentleman I met at the state park, who I prayed with, when he asked me out?
He called tonight and left a voice mail.
Do I call him back or not?
He made me uncomfortable in some ways......yet when we were praying and talking about the Lord I felt fine.
Would you all pray that I make the right decision. Thanks

I can try.........
He was coming out of a wooded trail when I walked past on my way to the beach. Something, I am not sure what, about the way he was looking at me made me uncomfortable.
Later as I was sitting watching the sunset and the moon begin to glow Gilbert came up from the beach, sat beside me and began to whimper. I looked over to where he was looking and the man was pacing back and forth watching me.........when he saw I was looking at him he came over........
I felt really nervous and uncomfortable and started praying for God to put a shield of protection around me........why I am not sure.
He stood about three feet away when we first started talking.......he told me about his wife dying, his job, why he was camping, his family and where he lived etc.......just normal talk but I could tell he was interested in me (I know it had to be very obvious for me to notice LOL)
He moved closer and sat on the beach wall right next to my feet and asked where my husband was tonight..........I told him I was not married.
Gilbert did not seem uneasy with him but did move each time the gentleman moved.........I don't know why but he kept moving from one side of me to another.....I felt like he was circling me and when he was behind my back it felt weird.........strange huh? Anyway each time he moved Gilbert moved and laid between the two of us.
He asked if I would be interested in coming back to his campsite for a campfire? I said no I should probably be heading home soon.........he asked for my phone number.
The whole time we had been talking, mostly about God speaking to us, I felt God saying I needed to pray for him.
So when he asked for my phone number I told him I was unsure about giving him my number but that I did know God wanted us to pray and asked if it was ok for us to pray.
He said yes so I prayed and then he did.
Then he shared he was a minister and talked about his church. Though some of our beliefs were the same there was something which did not ring right with some of the things he said.........
You know me well enough to know I got very passionate and excited as we discussed God and shared verses confirming what we each believed.........He would say a verse and God would lay a verse on my heart to respond.........
God was really moving in our conversation.......He was speaking through me and one thing I love was he was using me to try and convince this gentleman of exactly what I had gone to the beach to have God convince me off. Funny huh?
Anyway we talked for about 3 hours, by then it was late and I really needed to go home.
I did not feel uncomfortable with him then........something had changed when we prayed........the focus became about God and not us......make sense?
In the parking lot he stood in front of my car door blocking it so I could not get in.....He also stood way too close for my comfort and several times he leaned way close to my ear to say something softly instead of just talking in a normal voice.
I felt uncomfortable again but I think it was because he was way to close physically.........I am more of a give me my space type gal.
He was nice....he carried my chair and books for me.........finally opened my door when I was ready to leave.........and told me he found me very attractive and that I had amazing eyes..........at one point he reached out and pulled one of my curls........that really made me uncomfortable.
He said that he is looking for a wife who will be a strength in his ministry and he believes I have everything he is looking for in a wife (first off he does not know me so I know that was not true but I admit it was nice to be told for once I meet someones list LOL)
I figured my uncomfortable feeling was just my shyness around men when it comes to them seeing me as a woman.....and being interested in me as more then a friend.
Then he did something really strange
I was in the car and he asked me to roll down my window.........he leaned in slightly and asked if I would shake his hand.
Anyone who wants to know what he did and said then please pm me since I don't feel comfortable sharing it in public.
But get this after he was done shaking my hand he smiled a very strange, like knowing smile and then walked back into the darkened trail.
What I don't get is the camp ground is in the opposite direction.......and you can walk there from the beach parking lot in a lite trail yet he took a dark one, with no flashlight and so tree covered the moons light did not light up the trail........don't you think that is odd?
The whole thing was kinda weird? don't you think? or am I just so inexperienced I am not seeing things clearly?
Writing this I am thinking maybe it was all too weird
On the voice mail message he sounded normal........and I did not get creepy feeling .......but after rereading what I wrote I am wondering if what I felt was lack of experience with men or something more.
Thoughts?
