    Thank you Dianna!  Great read.  I am going one day at a time for healing in me... Spiritually, mentally & definitely physical.  An album of long back..I have loved called "Come to the quiet" by Kirk & Debt Dear Mam.  Different  types of reverence for God in words, instrument & still quite with church chimes.

    
    

    I am hurting badly physically right now.  Seems to keep climbing as storms approach our area.  Fibro & Osteoarthritis twining like a rope. 

    
    

    My husband is overwhelmed when he comes home because our garden being torn up for a new fence.  Outside fence is what was part of our garden.  So brick work, shrubs & such have been stressful.  I trY to help yet Fibro pay comes next day.  He knows yet little remarks he gives being tired etc seems to bring it on.  I soo want the Lord to help me get focused on Him with singing & praying & even years.. whatever comes.

    
    

    Thank you Dianna

    Thank you for connecting with me  Heidi. Congratulations on your precious gift from God on the way! I have always considered children God's gift and his way if giving us a tiny bit of insite into what HE must feel about us, his children. The unconditional love we have for our children does not compare to how much our Heavenly Father loves us. When we cry, our Father cries too.

    
    

     

    
    

    Yes! World news recently has been tragic! I've been praying and trying to keep focused on how good it is to see so many Christians rise up in prayer and the outpouring of love and compassion I see when such unthinkable violence like the Orlando attack happens.

    
    

    God  doesn't want us to live in fear like this! He wants both eyes on him as we walk this journey of faith!

    
    

    That is why we need to encourage our children while they are young to keep searching for the blessings God does send us and gift us with daily. Anyone can focus on all the negative, it's all around us! It's hard not to... if we can inspire young and old alike to just keep asking and seeking God's love in action we will make their journey of faith a little easier to travel. 

    
    

    I can't tell you how much it has helped to consider my burdens as blessings and search for the learning lessons and silver linings through recent life transitions. By looking only towards the blessings I know God is providing, I've pushed past many trials meant to keep me distracted from seeing all the beauty and goodness God gives is each day. 

    
    

    Thanks again for sharing your day with me  I can sure relate to things not going as planned. Glad it all turned out well in the end. You my friend are in my daily prayers now and there is nothing you can do about it  If you should ever need anything specific prayed about please do let me know 

    
    

    Stay blessed and keep seeking God's love and light<3
