"Beauty Is All Around Me"
The sun was shinning on my neighbor’s house late this evening, making the entire place a subject of art. It was so pretty I just had to stop and take a picture. The foliage was so colorful with many different shades making a gorgeous background. How can we say good-bye to such beauty and heart thrilling trees and bushes as they are about to disappear till next spring. I get real emotional beginning in the late fall. I never liked to see sick or dying anything, although I know that is what life is all about. The next warm day we have I will be going out to cut down all my dead plants and cover the roots with straw so they can come back up next spring.
I stayed in the house all day except for a quick trip to buy the local news paper. I vacuumed most of the rooms before giving out. I will finish tomorrow and do the rest of the cleaning. My son and granddaughter are coming to spend a night with me, then take me to their house for Thanksgiving. I feel lucky not to be cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner, although I do miss it a lot. I will just make a small pan of cornbread dressing and bake a chicken breast to leave here for Chuck. Of course I will be making my famous pumpkin pie. I will take one of the pies to my son’s house and leave the other one here. I have enjoyed the Thanksgiving season more this year than any other in a long time. I hope the Christmas spirit lands on me the same way. For some reason I have been feeling so blessed as if something great is about to happen. That is a Christmas present I’m looking forward to. Sometimes the best gifts don’t come in packages.
Clue, clue. I am expecting healing for my paralyzed great grandson. I am shocked at what I’m hearing from him, and I feel healing is coming. After seven years he is still expecting to be healed. He told me yesterday that physical therapy was starting to help. As far as I know he is still in hospice care. He was put there three weeks ago, but is still taking therapy. He is twenty and has been paralyzed for seven yeas from his neck down. I wrote a book titled “When The Angel Came” not long after this little guy was hit by a fast moving car. I mentioned him in one of my stories. At that time my faith was high and I clung onto it daily. I talked about how many times this little fellow had climbed a high mountain when the family reunions were held each year at Quartz Mountain State Park. I said in the book that I knew he would climb that mountain again someday. Year after year went by without any hope from doctors, and my faith dwindled. Now I am wondering if my prediction might still be coming true. After he was put in hospice, and after I hadn’t talked with him hardly since the accident, (due to his non-emotional condition,) he called me a few days ago. As I said I almost fainted to hear the strong, clear, encouraging voice of the boy I thought was almost dead. I have talked to him twice since, and he seems so hopeful that he is getting better. I have been rethinking my idea of giving up on that trip up the mountain. Could it possible be so? I’m asking God for a gift of healing for Christmas this year.
God Bless

Jean's Comment's: "The Many Blessings Called Thanksgiving"

"The Many Blessings Called Thanksgiving"
I made it down the block today to take some pictures of my wonderful, Holiday-creative, neighbor’s yard. The entire yard was covered with interesting foul, turkeys, animals, pumpkins, gourds, Pilgrims, and many other things that made the eyes sing. What a dedicated person to making every holiday come alive in her yard every year. The wind was blowing the huge inflated turkey’s head which made it seem like it was saying “I just dare you to kill me.” Then the big inflated black and white spotted cow was eating grass without any fears at all. I love the exciting scenery my neighbor fills her yard with every holiday. It’s almost like reading a story book.
Yes, it’s almost Thanksgiving and I will be spending it with my youngest son and his family. It’s always a blessing to be able to spend time with them. I only see them about twice a year. My son and daughter-in-law both like to cook so there is always lots of good food. I have to diet when I get back home to lose all the extra weight I put on, but its worth it. I will be fixing a small Thanksgiving dinner to leave here for my son, Chuck, who lives close to me. He used to share a Thanksgiving dinner with a homeless friend that he grew up with. That friend moved away a few years ago and Chuck no longer hears from him. Most of Chuck’s friends live far away. Its nice that he has unlimited calls on his phone because he talks a lot to all of them.
I talked again today to my great grandson who is currently in hospice care. He told me he was at home now and doing great. Before I hung up with him I asked him if there was anything he wanted to say to grandma. He said. “I love you.” I told him I loved him too, and almost broke down, but didn’t. I am waiting patiently to see what is going to happen to this request of a miracle from our loving God. It looks like after seven years of being paralyzed from his neck down, and being moved to hospice care, that maybe God is planning to send us that miracle after all. Who can ever deny that God can do anything? When we turn loose and give it all to God, He will give us strength to wait it out. This grandson’s attitude has been awesome every since he regained conscience from the accident. All he knows about it is what people tell him. He remembers everything before the accident, but just don’t recall being hit by a car. At 13 years old, and a complete paralyses from the neck down, that is a remarkable blessing for all. Shortly after the accident this amazing child said he saw two angels at the foot of his bed. They told him he was in God’s care. I believe that is what has kept him alive all these years. He’s been educated, and still has hopes of getting well, God bless him many times over.
God Bless

"An Awesome Sight Of Light"
I waited all day to get a picture of the super moon tonight. When it finally showed it looked just like any other moon. I looked on the computer and discovered the super moon today was at 7:30 am instead of pm. I missed it, but found one on the computer and posted it. I have drifted away somewhat from being interested in the moon. I guess I finally got enough of an amazing thing. The condition of the world has been taking center stage in my life for the past two years. Now that the election is over maybe I can settle down to being normal.
It seems like there is always something to disrupt our happiness when we feel so blessed sometimes. There is never going to be anything but a short vacation from life’s hard work and worries. Some day beyond this beautiful moon there is going to be perfect peace and rest forever and ever. We must comfort one another with these words and be thankful for friends who will share our burdens with us. When I saw this gorgeous moon tonight I was reminded of the quote, “A picture is worth more than a thousand words.” I will keep my eyes glued on things above. Day by day we are getting closer to our eternal home.
I often think of all the good times we have missed just because of sin that creeps into our lives and separates us one from another. A life without sin is fiction. It just didn’t happen, but we only cause ourselves more sorrow by holding onto the evil that attacked us. Some people call it “naïve.” I think of it as being jealous, or without compassion. Whatever, it is sin that needs to be denied. Sometimes we need to put ourselves in the washing machine with a lot of soap and wash out the dirt in our lives. A dirty body will soon become a stinky body if not washed often. Worse than that it becomes an ugly body. Eventually it becomes a sick body without remedy.
I have been highly alarmed by all the foolish, disgusting sights that’s been happening all over America for the past few days because some harboring hate-mongers didn’t get their way. How sad to know that these people have sealed their conscience, and few, if any will ever realize their foolishness. We have to ask ourselves how could this kind of evil penetrate so deeply into the heart and destroy a soul that was intended to be whole. The fact remains that separation has happened and sorrow and bloodshed will follow many to an early grave. I can’t see a repentance in the future. I see only a doomed life for more people than I ever imagined. The love of God must stay in our hearts regardless of all the evil that confronts us every day. It didn’t use to be this way. What happened?
God Bless
