When God Closes a Door, Somewhere He Opens a Window

I know that things happen for a reason; sometimes we do not or can not understand the why of it all. But in time we can see what we needed to learn or what we were being prepared for.

Life is a journey and we are to find the joy along the way. It’s hard to see the big picture when you’re in the middle of the storm, and just when we do not think we can go forward one more day there it is, the window, an answer, an opportunity, a kind word, a loving hand, peace; not as the world gives it, but peace to your soul. So open that window and let the light rush in.

The Verdict Is In!

This is to follow up on our “ticket” issues (refer to the post Watch out! They're out to get You.)I took my pictures and showed the Prosecutor,The charges have been dismissed!! I no longer have a count against me of a Class “C” Misdemeanor.

I am a woman in good standing,
No fee, no fine, no record.
Thank goodness :-)

Where Is It????

Okay, you know how you are looking for something and you can “see” it in your mind. But you can’t find it!
You look and look, driving yourself crazy to the point of exhaustion. But you know it is there, this has been going on for days . Grrrrr

From my mother on my birthday

God Knows

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts…

God knows how hard you have tried.
When you’ve cried so long and your heart is in anguish…

God has counted your tears.
If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by…

God is waiting with you.
When you’re lonely and your friends are too busy for a phone call…

God is by your side.
When you’ve tried everything and don’t know where to turn…

God has a solution.
When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated…

God has the answer.
If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find rays of hope…

God has whispered to you.
When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for…

God has blessed you.
When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe…

God has smiled upon you.

When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow…

God has opened your eyes and called you by name.
Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are facing…

GOD KNOWS

Thank you Mom,

I Love you

Happy Birthday Donny!

Age is a funny thing, are minds do not feel older but our body does. I think Donny looks great for "49" with very few gray hairs. I have more gray than his does! It was wonderful to have everything there, we enjoyed great food and being together. Shelby made Donny a cute pillow.
