"It's Time To Quit When The Sun Goes Down"

       Day's end. Beautiful day, and got a lot of outside work done. 3-15-2017 Perryton TX


I am late with my blog today, but I have been busy outside taking advantage of this nice weather. I made a big showing in getting things done in the yard. I sawed a tree up so I could get it through the gate. I clipped all the dead stalks of asparagus to the ground, and raked all the leaves and dead grass out of the flower beds. The sundown almost beat me to the camera. It was a pretty one, and I had to capture it. If we have another nice day tomorrow I should almost finish my yard work. I have aching bones tonight, but that is good for me. A good night’s sleep will take care of that. This will be one of those nights that I am ready for bed without any coaxing. I probably will be sore tomorrow, but that will also fade away as the day goes by.

I had two long visits by phone today with my sister and a friend. Both live some distance away from me, and it’s always nice to talk with them. My sister had made reservations for three nights in Norman. Oklahoma for myself, and my three sisters to be together, for an early Memorial Day week-end. It will be the latter part of April when we meet. I am looking forward to this get together. I haven’t seen my sister in Albuquerque, NM for over two years. She will have two of her daughters with her also.

Tomorrow night I will be attending a St. Patrick’s dinner at the Citizen’s Center here. A great night of fun has been planned, and I know I will enjoy it. I am on the move again now-a-days, and  I feel excited most of the time. It has taken me four years to get back to normal after giving up my husband to go to his eternal home. I am just beginning to come out of the shock. For these past four years it has been like, who am I, what am I doing here, where am I at, why am I all alone? Of course it was only at times that I felt like that. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that death of a loved one don’t leave it’s mark on you forever. The wounded heart never heals. It just lets you live with it and manage the pain. I have lots of work left to do here on this earth before I can leave. I’m trying hard to do as much as I can. I don’t want to be a waster of time. I cannot reclaim the time I’ve wasted, but I can work overtime to catch up a little. I could not handle my life without the help of God. That’s why I give Him thanks every day for every blessing He gives me. My joy is the salvation of the Lord. Let this be heard far and near.

God Bless

"A Fable And A Reality"

         St. Patrick's pinwheel is blowing in the wind this morning. 3-14-2017 Perryton, TX


Another strong, cold wind is keeping me out of the yard this morning. The little pinwheel I posted has stood the winter well. I needed a movie camera to show how fast it was turning. I have several of these little pinwheels stationed around to keep the birds out of my berries and grapes. They work very well. I need to find something to keep the rabbits out of my garden. They also like certain kinds of flowers and oriental grass. I noticed this morning that a flower which was almost in full bloom yesterday is eaten off  now. I find pecans lying all over the yard that the squirrels put there last winter. So much for friendly pets.

I am still feeling up-beat this morning. I have several more places of being an attendant to this week. I am enjoying myself more and more every day. I am not sure what changed my stay-at-home attitude, but maybe the Lord gave me a work-over that I wasn’t aware of. I can’t seem to be gone from home enough now, except I still want to follow the news every day. Too much excitement is going on that I don’t want to miss. I am able to face the fact that a sweet sister-in-law is almost at heaven’s gate. It hurts to give her up, but not so much that I can’t keep moving on toward that goal myself. Pain and suffering are but minor when I fully complete the work I am doing for God each day. It may seem unimportant to some, but I am positive it is great in God’s big eyes. How thankful I am for that everlasting love of my Heavenly Father. Me, a speck of dust, my Father, the creator of all heaven and earth. How could I not ignore the pain and grief just to know I am a child of the “Great I Am?” I get punished by Him when I am rude or uncaring of others. I am grateful for that punishment because it keeps me singing when the punishment is over. The golden rule is still effective. “Do not unto others as they do unto you, but do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We as human nature mortals, cannot  live within that rule without the love of Christ in our lives, and I dare say we cannot live without this rule  if we have the love of Christ in our lives. This is a deep thought that requires much prayer, and consecration, to our biblical knowledge. Judgment day is not coming, it has already come to many. I am sorry if you don’t believe that, but I believe it with all my heart. I believe it because the Word of God teaches that. Yes, there will be a “Great Judgment Day” when the time comes to enter into God’s Eternal Rest, but for now we are being judged daily. I won’t run from punishment, I need it to guide me in the right direction. “Thank You God.”

St. Patrick's Day Church Dinner"

                            St. Patrick's Day lunch at church. 3-13-2017 Perryton, Texas.


I am so happy to report the wonderful feeling I had yesterday at First Christian Church, Perryton, Texas. It was St. Patrick’s day lunch after church, and the food and fellowship was great. Due to a number of reasons I had not been to church in quite awhile. Mainly because of the loss of my husband who was always beside me at church. The Church family didn’t give up on me, and was so gracious to include me in every special event the church had. This past week it seemed as though a dark cloud just lifted up from my brain, and I was feeling my old self again. I know I will still have to battle with the “serpent-type evil,” that fills the air, and never stays still for long. By God’s grace I will be an over comer of that situation.

I suppose the best thing I got from attending church was the Pastor’s sermon. He is young, but preaches the Gospel truth when it comes to, “telling it like it is.” Christ called every member of His church body to use their talents for His sake. So many of us don’t want to take this serious. We reach a place where we think we can retire from all duties, and let others do the jobs. The Pastor preached hard about that theory, and I for one felt the impact. I have excused myself from many things I was asked to do, but I thought I had a good reason. The best reason was to find an excuse not to go to church. I’ve heard this same messaged preached several times before from this pastor, but I suppose he is still needing to preach it. From the eyes view it seems like everyone is doing a great job in performing the church duties, but without these kinds of sermons it might not happen.

As little as I am in body, mind, and soul, I still have a job to do for my Lord. I would to God that I unequivocally say, “yes I will,” to all request I am presented with. It will make a difference in my life, and maybe some one else’s. We walk by faith and not by sight. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. I will repay. So many scriptures are written for those of us who feel like we’ve been wrongly judged, or just overlooked when we felt we were in God’s will. More of us need to practice this teaching, and go our own merry way while leaving the punishment phase to God. We don’t have to answer for others mistakes. Let us check, and double check, our own work. I believe I am speaking to members of all churches. No one is without sin, even though some think they are. I read on face book recently this little quote. “The world revolves around the sun, disappointing some who thought the world revolved around them.” Time to rethink our thoughts.

God Bless
