Oh Goody…

Share five things you’re good at.

I love sharing! This is a wonderful opportunity to share in five different ways…

I know that I can bake, so I’ll share some cookies with you.

I hope I’m good at being a writer, trying to share my imagination…

Each day, I seek to encourage you with something or other…

I’ve boatloads of love to offer…

Having listed those four things with you, I realize that I’ve only one thing left to share. This one may be at the end of the list but is far from the least of what I would strive to give you…

I pray!

I pray for your hearts, your health, and your happiness! I pray for your dreams, your desires, and your destination! I pray that you love deeply, laugh heartily, and live to the fullest!

Prayer goes farther than any other earthly good talent I’ve got, so there’s that…

Here, have a cookie…

Tuesday’s To-Do List…

With all the snowfall in the barnyard recently, Miss Tilly has me shoveling out the future parking pad for Santa’s sleigh…

Already!!!

Honestly, she’s a bit pushy if you ask me. 

Right now, as we speak, she’s got all the babes locked in the barn with her…

She’s refusing to let them out to play until after all their Santa letters have been completed and are ready for mailing!

Oh well!  At least it’ll all get done, right?!

I’m just glad she’s keeping everyone occupied while I freeze my toes off, making these frozen parking cubes…

Comfort…

OOh OOh, I Know This One…

Name your top three pet peeves.

Take a moment, if you please

To meet my three favorite pet peeves…

The first is Bettina,

the stubborn little Rhino…

To everything that I tell her, she has to say “I Know!”

Then comes little Auzzie, an owl who refuses to fly,

Busily baking cookies,

only dreaming of reaching the sky!

Last but not least,

meet a bird whose quite cheeky…

Nanny clucks at all the others,

while still wearing egg on her own beaky!

These peeves you see, are my favorite’s three,

because these peeves,

are all pieces of me…

For better and for worse,

we must finish what we start,

I shall tend to all these scars,

as God does the mending of my heart!

Cookies, anyone?

It’s Been 8 Years… Already?

I’ll be fully honest in sharing that I’m wearing a bit thin on the passion for words, of late. It is always darkest before dawn, God gently reminds me.

In the midst of the chaos of homelessness, came the anniversary of this website… 8 years!?

Since I had nothing to offer for today’s post anyways, I thought perhaps a look back might encourage my heart… and surprisingly, it did!

I found my very first post for this site, and decided to share it for anyone who might be interested in reading it. I realize that it isn’t thanksgiving yet, which is surprising, given that I struggle to know what day of the week it is, without looking at the calendar. So, consider the well wishes at the end of the post, sort of like an early blessing to you and your family this season.

While there is much that I’m choosing not to disclose, for your sakes, regarding our current situation… know that I am safe in God’s arms. Though my writings, of late, have been rather disjointed and somewhat fragmented, I’m eternally grateful for your loving support. They say that writing is extremely important in processing and handling our thoughts and emotions, and I couldn’t agree more at the moment! No matter what, I need to keep writing… anything really, as long as it is edifying and with loving intent.

You may not realize it, but the time spent on this site with all of you is so very important to me; your posts, your pictures, and your stories… they bring me comfort!

For this I thank each and every one of you, my sweet friends, for Journey With Me wouldn’t be worth the doing, if it weren’t for you!

God Bless you, all of you, and know that I love you with the love of God… and also with cookies!
