My dear best friend went home yesterday. And today he is running about with his brothers;
Lil Man, Rufus and his sister Peggy Sue.

Such sweet sorrow & comfort knowing that he’s himself again, feeling healthy and free. 

He is 13 doggie years on earth but Heaven does not have days or years. There is only eternity!
   



One can sense when there is something wrong with our best friend .. they are happy to see you and being around the family, but there is something about their eyes, that reflects what they are feeling

 .                       
Is sickness and death for all of creation? Let’s review all that God created for us. 
Plants and trees can wither and die. 
Animals, birds, fishes and all creeping things also live to die. 
The stars, the waters and the land, the heavens, the seasons, the day & the night, the moon and the sun they are still in place, right?  And these too will pass.

                                                            
  Scripture tells us, 
that there will be a new heaven 
and a new earth 

Strange to understand that things are constantly 
changing and so are we.    
Children grow up and parents get older. But the good news is that “we are all facing “eternity.” We are traveling here on earth with family and friends. 


It is at times like now, that I understand 
how short life really is. 
We spend it working, making plans, 
enjoying ourselves and all these things are wonderful.



“If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. 
 And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. 
 So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord”
 Romans 14:8   







 But then I see how short life is and wonder 
if we are living life to our full potential?
Or just wandering carelessly, without direction?
Why spend energy in worrying, does it change anything?
Why allow yourself to remain unhappy and bitter? 
Live life! 

                                                                               
        
A wise person said;
   “The empty place in your heart 
    is the surest sign that you loved 
your dog dearly, and gave 
  them the beautiful gift of a full and happy life”

Happy 70th Birthday 2 Me

Had a great “70th” birthday. Damn, how did I get here? But I am thankful for my wonderful life and my family! My cup overflows  with gratitude and blessings from God, as I get to share in your adult lives and get to cheer you both from the sidelines.. What a blessing it is to get this far in life and still enjoy making memories with y’all. My cup is full as I now have new family members; Janette & Camy, Jo, John and Erika. Let us daily thank God for His love towards us and may we continue to fall in love more with one another. My “Blessings” from  above “The Lord gives both death and life; He brings some down to the grave but raises others up”              1 Samuel 2:6  “He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother”  Praise the Lord!  Psalm 113:9 “Naked I came  from my mother’s womb,  And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken” This is Josh at the same age as his munc...

“We All Go The Way of Grace”

     Proverbs 21:22 “Whoever pursues righteous and unfailing love will find life, righteousness and honor” Father, Elohim,  “Thank you” 4 putting your wonderful creation together for all to enjoy and be rich by it all. Today in LA it has been raining, which is one thing we do not get much of .. but I “thank you” for it. It’s a time of slowing down.  It’s a time to sit and be still in the comfort of a warm home with family. I “thank you” Lord for the newness that comes with rain. It washes our soul and our mind.  We can take time to be still and reflect on where I AM .. where am I going .. and how to get there. The rain brings us to a stop and a moment to care about family, to look at ourselves and a chance for change, if needed. The rain heals the soul and lights it up with hope and freshness.  It’s a bath from head to toe that relaxes my spirit with the feeling of cleansing within me. Take time to enjoy this amazing season!  job leon https://yout...

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? How do you answer the question? 1. Loss makes humans consider how fragile relationships can be. a. Do not take one another 4 granted. b. Do not be jealous  c. Do not let anger into your heart d. Be ready to always let things go e. Enjoy life and rejoice in ALL times .. easy, sad, hurtful and in loss f. Forgive .. it isn’t hard to do when you know that it is good to forgive  g. Learn to be content with what you have .. Be grateful … and  find “joy” where you are and in the things you do have. h. Give .. share God’s wisdom  1. give of your time 2. give of your abundance 3. give an ear 4. give good counsel  5. remember the unloveable  6. prayer i. A healthy attitude  j. Beauty, find it in the things you see and do k. Laugh. It’s good medicine and if you learn to laugh at yourself, you will see others more clearly l. Love is giving of yourself. Don’t hold it too closely or y...
