A Very Good Day...

Got a one day pass out of the woods...
Headed for the BIG CITY...
Mom and Dad riding shotgun.

 

BOSTON!!! WOW!!!
So many cars!  

So many buildings! 

So many people!

 Spent an amazing afternoon

With my family...
With Nancy 1 and Nancy 2...
(I'll let you decide which is which!)
Mom, Dad, Russ, Slug,
And, most importantly, Gary.

 

Hugging, joking, laughing...
Breaking hospital rules...
(who knew Maine sunflowers were illegal???)
Getting caught in elevator doors...
(This was mom, not me!!!)
reminiscing, crying.. 

 

In my own bed by midnight
back in the harbor...
Realizing that Gary and I were sleeping
next to the same big ocean...
But feeling that it had been a lifetime already
since I'd last seen him ...
 
Leaving a piece of my heart back in Boston...

 It was a very good day...

 "The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
 Zephaniah 3:17

The Wings of the Morning...

"If I take the wings of the morning..." 
 

"And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea..."

  
As I took my walk this beautiful fall morning
Reminded of the blessings all around me
I am resting in the promise that God
is always with us...

"Even there shall thy hand lead me, 

and thy right hand shall hold me..."

Psalm 139: 9-10

Dear Friends...
Please join me again in prayer
for my brother, Gary...

As A Child...

A little hand brushed against mine

during morning worship...

 And handed me this note...

To thank me for the dresses...

"And He called a child to Himself 

and set him before them, and said,  

"Truly I say to you, unless you are converted 

and become like children, 

you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

   "Whoever then humbles himself as this child,

 he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven..."

Matthew 18:2-4
