ah....the beauty of it all......

a wildly simple thought

...after all these years....

...I still thrill when my little family gathers! Last night, daughter, son and his wife were 'home', working together and planning their part of our upcoming family reunion. My daughter with the plan (that's so typical of her personality), my son with all the ideas (the creative contractor in him) and my daughter-in-law making sure she understands what her husband is getting her into (they're learning to communicate). I am so very proud of my kids! All tree of them! I am in awe of who they've become. Praise God! I take very little credit, except that I stood firm on "Train up a child in a way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it". I'm so grateful for my own salvation and training, so grateful that I was able to then, pour God into them. I am grateful that I can see God working in and on all of them today and I have great expectations that I will continue to see God blossom in their lives as they continue this circle of life. Thank you Lord for eyes that can see your marvelous hand at work every day!

One More Time.......

Most of you will think I've gone mad in my old age....but, once again, I want to share that I desperately love my job! I love that I'm learning, every day. I love the level of maturity of most those I work with. I love their views on life (and death) and I love the newness of the people, routine and even the space. That said, I still continue to struggle with the immaturity of some, the lack of respect from others and the simple fact that people hurt. As I reflect on my days here, I realize that I am given a gift each day. I find hope in what can happen here. I see joy in diagnoses'. I see peace in the elderly-no matter what their circumstances-and wild zeal for life, and a desperation to express life, in the young. I am in a position that allows me to be a fly on the wall and a sword being wielded. Although I prefer being the sword, I am learning to appreciate being the fly. It is clear "Be still and know that I am." I do, Lord, I am, too.

Ready, Set.....Write!

Okay, so, here I am...ready to get this thing they call 'blogging' on its way. I often have so many thoughts floating around I can't wait to get them down.....wouldn't you know it, I'm finding it difficult to capture just one thought today...What a way to start.
I'll get there, you just wait!

It's only the begining

As I begin this journey I promise myself (and you the reader) that my heart will take the lead. I will be open and honest and faithful. Faithful to Him who created all I am, all I have and has planted inside of me all that I will become.

I love to write, so this should be a natural move in my life.
