My Latest Speech
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
“Don’t forget your medication!“
On my soapbox: “Try not to aggravate that incision site! The bruise is increasing. Try sleeping on your other side.”
The world is my stage … and home is where the speeches begin!
Have I performed on a public stage? Oh yes… with my accordion and with my clarinet many times. And at school assemblies when I was the school principal. There my audiences tuned in a lot better than this bruised up husband of mine!
But for now, speeches take a backseat… and I’m past the need for stages.
I am past the need for public stages, but I do enjoy giving a “speech” (an inspirational message) once a month at our local women’s club!
Besides that though, I just wanna sit the sit!!
Love,
JanBeek
(here’s the latest on Bob) – ouch!!
Favorite Place
It won’t surprise you
That my favorite place
Is not in a city
It’s not far from my space
It’s my sanctuary
Up a circular flight of stairs
I talk with Jesus there
And give Him all my cares!
Come and join me there!
Hugs,
JanBeek
Tears of Joy
Tears of joy come easily
When someone approaches me breezily
To say my lost puppy is found
And they have him right there on the ground
Tears of joy come spilling
When someone says they are willing
To do some yard work for my Bob
Whose limited body makes me sob
Tears of joy are a blessing
When troubles overflow and I’m stressing
And then miraculous help arrives
Fixing the problem … giving high-fives
What brings tears of joy to your eyes?
Crying is a gift to the wise
Who turn to others and prayer
Knowing that needed help is there.
Where do you turn so that you can have
Tears of joy and turn sadness to glad?
Know that the Lord always is there
You can count on Him everywhere!
Happy Labor-less Day, my friends!
Love,
JanBeek & Bob
(and our friends, the Vasches, too… we have
tears of joy when friends like them come to visit!)
Positive Emotion?
Today’s Prompt was:
What positive emotion do you feel most often?
My Response:
Gratitude
So we called our friends.
They came. Four of them!
We all searched.
Still no luck.
(we’d already searched there thoroughly).
there was a black and white nose
sticking out from under Bob’s chair!!
Kenny had squeezed under to fetch a toy –
and he got stuck!!
Whew!!!😥
We lifted the chair to release him.
Gratitude?
Ah yes!! 👏🏽
Thank You, God,
Thank You, Jesus!
Thank You for neighbors,
for answered prayers,
for the safety of our pup!
Whew!!
I’m grateful for it, too.
Do you have a memory quilt?
And no, Kenny doesn’t usually get to lie on it!
It was a retirement gift from my teaching colleagues
when I retired back in 1999.
The sentiments on it
and the remembrances
are so precious!
Marta Garcia did the stitching
and each of my colleagues at school
added a piece with their name
and sometimes a sentiment.
“Stitched with dreams of traveling forever,”
Marta wrote.
If you live in Ennis, Montana
with the Madison River running through it
and the spectacular Rocky Mountains as your backdrop,
and people from all over the world coming here to fish
and to just relax and enjoy the peace, the open spaces,
the wild animals, and the proximity to Yellowstone,
then you live daily with an attitude of gratitude,
and guess what?
Traveling forever is not a daily prayer.
We are grateful that you come to us!
Keep doing it!
What positive emotion do you feel most often?
Cheers from JanBeek
Can’t Live Without
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
Air: an essential… treat each breath as a luxury. Never waste a minute of the breath you receive. It’s the gift of life. Every day is a luxury. Cherish it!
Here are some ways I live and share the luxuries inherent in every day:
Can’t live without the contacts with loved ones … so grateful for the luxury of their shared experiences!
God bless those loved ones in our lives who share their experiences with us, huh? Such sharing definitely is a luxury for us as receivers. Thank you for sharing yours, too🥰👌🏽!
Love,
JanBeek
Angels All Around
Do you have any collections?
Angels all around
Remind me of my mother
It’s her collection
It means “of angels!”
Nice to know, isn’t it?
I begin each day up in this place with Guideposts’ Mornings with Jesus. Been doing that for 20 years. What a gift this space is!
It’s a perfect place to begin each day. Jesus is there. The Holy Spirit speaks to me. The collection of angels and crosses remind me of Christ’s sacrifice … His gift of grace to us all. What a blessing that space and those angels are! Come visit us. We’d love to share the peace with you.
Love, JanBeek
Positive Impact
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.
Who or what impacts your life … or has left a permanent impression? I know you also feel blessed. Life is a gift… and so are you!
God bless you!
Love, JanBeek
Best Pets
What animals make the best/worst pets?
Of course I am prejudiced!
Yup, in our house, the best pet is a Boston Terrier …
What do you think is the best pet?
Love ❤️
