That certainly is not because I haven't had any blessed surprises. I just find myself posting something on fb.
I am blessed to most always get good views on my blog, but I find myself at a struggle with what I really should post.
I know, there can be too much of me! 😁😂🤣
I guess, I think, I should always post an inspiring project for you, but every now and then, I just feel called to share some thoughts...
Oh, no....she is thinking again! Watch out.
Yes, watch out indeed!
AND that brings me to my first SHOUT OUT to God for safe keeping through the storms.
While I was sleeping on Saturday afternoon (yep--days and nights are mixed up, again), a tornado touched down, without a warning, and destroyed one house and heavily damaged another. It was about 3 miles away, as the crow flies.
One house that was destroyed belonged to a family whose husband died recently. My heart goes out to all.
I have to admit, I sometimes think we ARE given more than we can handle. Nope, I don't think it is HIS doing this. It is just a result of mankind having choices. I don't doubt that God is faithful, because He is, but I do think sometimes, some people get hit way worse than they deserve! 😔 I hope y'all understand what I am saying. I still love and serve God, but it breaks my heart to see people suffering.
Oh, and on the flip side, lest you think I am drinking that half empty glass--we most often get WAY better than we deserve! ♡
Another man was also killed trying to put up covering on his house. Praying for his family.
Our storms of the night have just passed, and I pray peace for those still in the path.
I offer Praise for a friend whose husband is sick for an unknown reason, because one reason for his illness was ruled out--it was an ugly possibility --but now, the search for the cause still evades them. May peace settle on their home and May they be led to the right person to help heal him completely!
The beginning of the year brought news of a fb friend's unexpected death! She was a quirky and a bright spot in this world, and our lives are dimmed by her death, but it inspires me to try to shine just a bit brighter, in her memory. My heart breaks for her 2 puppies, who were her great Joy. Judy, you are missed.
Another fb friend was admitted to the hospital on Friday night because she has been battling mono and great exhaustion. Join me in praying for a clear biopsy on her liver! Get better, Cheryl! There is much beauty waiting for you to create.♡
Oh, I give a huge praise for a new $15 keyboard.
Yep, you think this is a crazy one, but it extends the life of my slowly dying laptop. Somehow, God will make a way for me to buy a new one, that actually connects to my slow dial up internet...yes, high speed internet remains on my prayer request, but when the time is right, it will happen. I remain hopeful, and feel blessed for what I have. As Mother said, sometimes, it is like Slugo's house, here, with things pieced together! 😁😂🤣😃
I am most grateful for all of those "pieces"! 😉😊
As I am finishing up a deadline project (almost done), I sit here listening to my sweet Charcoal snoring, and my heart if filled with good thoughts of those I love, and of things I love to do.
Yes, I most certainly could do more and do better, but I want to give myself a break and give thanks for what I have done.
I hope you will do that for yourself, too.
We live in a world where people have "bad hearts" and do bad things.
Our screaming at each other on social media does nothing to solve this problem, and, yes, in my opinion, creates a bigger problem, because, we are just fostering more "bad hearts".
LOVE is the only answer.
If what you post doesn't promote love, then stop posting it.
If you don't have a solution, then pray for what you can do to help, instead of inflaming others.
What can you do to promote love?
Be kind.
Pray.
Promote Art.
Paint pretty things.
Sew whimsical creations.
Write uplifting music.
Create poetry in any form.
Dance!
Sing...🤤
Accept that others might be right.
LOVE yourself so that you can love others.
Bite your tongue, or, scroll on by...
Sprinkle Love and kindness everywhere you go...
Smile
Thank you for being in my little corner of the world.
I am simply blessed to create~charlotte♡
