We have a saying here in Montana:
“If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes!”
So don’t waste your time complaining about the weather, just brush the snow off the chairs…
… brush off the barbecue, and just maybe…
… before the gorgeous sunset ends,
you can sit down to a cozy meal inside.
No need to complain. It is what it is…
May be back to 70 degrees tomorrow.
Only God knows…
See ya tomorrow! (Keep smiling!)
Specks of Splendor
Like a gold miner panning for gold,
I sift through life’s muck and mire
To look for the specks of splendor
That sparkle and dance like fire.
.
No matter how awful my day was,
At the end, I put on my Jesus glasses
And find the specks that sparkled,
The nuggets in muddy splashes.
.
The most dismal, dark, and cloudy day
Has shimmers of beauty in the trials.
With God’s help, I sift and find them.
Then tuck into bed with gratitude and smiles.
Don’t you just love this winter blast of arctic air?
Hang in there!
It IS warming up…
Look at that…
up to -5 by 9:00 pm…
That’s worth staying up for!
Happy Sunday, my friends.
God bless you!
Stay warm!

We’re snowed in!
The four foot drift
Behind my car is tall;
Not looking very friendly at all.
The flakes still fall.

It’s too much to shovel
And once that’s removed
What about the three foot waves
Gathered here creating graves
In our long driveway?

“I have composed
And quieted my soul”
Psalm 131:2 is a reminder
To take off the blinders;
Trust God, the Perfect Finder.

He helps me find what matters most.
I trust Him to quiet my soul.
Help me not to implode in
This spot, but find the Jesus road in
Whatever place I am snowed in.

The path isn’t blocked;
The wheelbarrow of tasks
May be inaccessible, but I can
Find His plan if I scan
The land where I am.
So, compose my soul, dear Lord.
Help me find peace
And contentment. Just tuck me
In and channel me; don’t chuck me
Right where You’ve stuck me!

Don’t let me get caught in
This web of cold and confusion.
You’re here to hold me.
You protect and you mold me.
I will trust what You’ve told me.
.
Amen?
and Amen!
Have a Very Happy New Year!
I hope it starts off and ends on the right foot!!
❤ God Bless You ❤
What Makes You Happy?

I was headed yesterday to visit a friend who lives about an hour away. Stuck in traffic, waiting for a very long, very slow train to pass, I was getting more and more grumbly. I was late for lunch! I decided drumming my fingers on the steering wheel and complaining was doing no good. I should change my mindset – think about what makes me happy instead.
So, I started this mental activity of alphabetically coming up with a list of things that make me happy. I texted a few to my friend (along with an apology and explanation for why I was late) and finished the list just about the time the looooong train finally finished crossing the intersection:
What Makes Me Happy?
So, try it! Next time you’re stuck in traffic, instead of grumbling and strumming, think about what makes you happy. You’ll pass the time with a smile instead of a frown, and the train will fly by!

Carving out time to
Own a beautiful home
Neatly placed at
The end of a rabbit-bush lane
Energized my early years.
Now that I have it, I
Thought I’d be content.
My goal has been met.
Every day I can look at life with
Newness; ready to
Take on a new goal.
Hugs to You !!
Inspire to Love
Let the SonShine!
You inspire me to respond
Learning to Live; Living to Learn; Learning to Love; Living in Love
