Life Is Like These Flowers

The pictures of these beautiful flowers was taken yesterday, Monday September 7th and today many of those blooms are gone.  The beautiful pink one was closed and wilted this morning.

Much the same way it is with our lives.  In God's realm of existence we are but a vapor.  Just like these beautiful flowers were no more than a daily vapor.

We should never take our life for granted, we should live each day as if it is the last one on this beautiful earth.  All too often we speak of being bored and yet there is many people that are not here today that would love to show us how to "un-bore" ourselves.

A very good friend lost his father this weekend.  It was unexpected and that makes it tragic.  Oh, the many things, hugs and kisses left unsaid.  The many "I love you" embraces that will never happen.  The beautiful granddaughter that will now grow up not knowing that grandfather.  So much tragedy in the loss of a life.

God gave us this life to enjoy and to share with others and to spend time telling others that we love them.  The rat race style of life that we live now; the dog eat dog style we live, well....death comes and then we feel the tragic loss.  

We need to wake up, reach out and hug someone.  Tell someone you love them.  Offer to help another human being.  DO SOMETHING that makes us worthy of this life we have been granted.

Our heart goes out to my friend and his family.  YES, they were family and they are feeling this tragic loss today. 

Heart Words

 

 

Do you ever feel like this?  I do.  Real often, I feel like this.  Why?  Because of overwhelming love.

You see, I am so in love with my Lord and Savior that I find it difficult to find the proper words to tell him, much less, describe that love.  That is why I am so thankful that He can see, hear, listen and read my heart.

I can almost feel and taste the words but my tongue and vocal cords can not form or put sound to those words.

But God knows my heart, Jesus knows my heart, the Holy Spirit living within me knows my heart. 

To often all I can say is a simple, "I love you Jesus" or a simple "I love you God".  These words I say while my heart is bursting at the seams with genuine Agape Love.

One day I shall stand before my sweet Lord, and He will teach me the words to describe my love for Him.  Until that day I will go on saying the simple "I love You" words because I know He can hear the other words through my heart.

Sweet Spirit

God's sweet, sweet Spirit was with us today when the doctor confirmed what we already knew deep in our hearts.  My sweet George has prostate cancer.

I would have told you a few years ago that if a doctor told me, that me, my husband, or one of my children or grandchildren had cancer that I would have collapsed, cried, thrown up, screamed....that list goes on and on.  You see, that was before.  Before I really studied God's love letter to me, before I put my complete faith and trust in Him. 

God said that He would give me a peace that transcends any human understanding.  He gave me that peace and it is a peace that does surpass human understanding.  The doctor could testify to that, as could many of our family members and friends.  People are having a hard time understanding how we are being so calm about a diagnosis of cancer.  Our God and His love for us is so much greater than cancer cells. 

God's word tells us,  all the things that He can and will do for us.  All that He ask us to do is believe, such a simple little word...believe.  It really takes no effort, just trust and faith.  I have both and I BELIEVE! 

There are no words to describe the peace that my sweet George and I feel tonight.  This won't necessarily be a easy battle, however, God did promise to fight the battle for us.   If we just BELIEVE in Him, then He will do the rest.  AND I BELIEVE.

Yes, that sweet, sweet Spirit of God has not left us.  He said that He would be with us now and always....and my friend, I BELIEVE HIM.

There is blessings to be found with every storm in our lives.  I can already see blessings as my faith, trust and love for God gets stronger and stronger.  My husband and I have always had such a very, very close relationship.  I would have said earlier that there was no way we could get any stronger in our love for each other, however, this has drawn us even closer than before. 

I love living my life with God's Spirit with me, there is no peace like His peace and I love it!!
