Sigh…
some days I think of Hilmar when he says…”What a day…”
Well,
for me it’s been “What a week…” two
weeks…
sometimes
these times comes upon me, sometimes it’s a result of self-imposed
activity.
I
suppose a bit of both in this case.
Well,
here I am on this Sunday afternoon.
We had
cyclonic rain and rain and rain last Monday.
John and Brenda took us to see the amazing sight of a cave in in
Seadoone. Sobering… Life can change in an instant – it did for
“them.”
My car
was parked in the basement and the rain even wet the inside part of my
car!
I’m not
sure how that is possible… but it was.
I am
grateful for our safety here. And the
site was unscathed. Tender Mercies.
I am
grateful Douglas and Ethan were spared harm.
I’m
sorry for the van… but rather the van than them…
My phone
battery has been running out and running out.
On
Monday it wouldn’t open at all.
We have
been talking about what to do… when… if…
So – it
was off to get a new phone for Glenn and I inherit his old one.
Hours
and hours of information transfer from his old phone to his new one.
LOTS of
walking from one end of Gateway shopping Mall to the other,
and then
back again, and back again.
I must
say I was physically tired for two days.
I was surprised.
Mind
expanding learning curve in customizing his/my phone to him/me.
I’m
grateful that is past… or rather… passing.
I’ve
listened to 14 hours of fascinating and faith promoting podcasts called
“Questioning Saints.”
I thing
I would have called it Exploring or Searching Saints or something like that.
Anyway –
I am one who questions…
Paul
said “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thes 5:21
I do.
It gave
me much food for thought and I’m glad I took the time to listen and learn.
I’ve also
loved the books I have been reading.
I
treasure this time out of time to serve the Lord and because I am away from
all
things ‘home’ I have more time to read.
I love that.
This
time is very precious to me.
You are
all much on my mind as I go forward and backward doing the things that are
mine to
do at this time and in these weeks.
I have
felt like I was on a treadmill.
And I
knew I couldn’t keep up the pace – something had to slow down.
Part
conscious effort… part “this time” passing…
Now I
need to balance some and take some time out…
I hope
you speed up or slow down as you need to!
Our own
lives… a privilege, an opportunity and a responsibility to make the most of
them!
I love
the phrase of Judge Judy (Scheindler)
“It’s
your life! Live it well!”
I try to remember that.
Mom/Judy
I took
this photo on my/our birthday and wedding anniversary.
Thank
you for all your good wishes…
Do you
remember the three red bags I made for you Angela, Dianne and Gillian?
I’m glad
to have them here! I use all three and
think of you with me when I use one or the other.
My car
rained on in the inside of the parking garage!
The
books I recently returned to the library
and the
new ones I took out and am reading -
A paragraph here and there, sometimes a page or two.
Granny
Vi’s healing arm
Just one
spot still to close.
The
great cave-in at Seadoone. Sobering…
About
3-5? Km from where John and Brenda live.
Three
cars have been removed from the scene.
One and
a half houses gone.
Two
houses on either side of the one gone damaged.
A whole
swimming pool somewhere in that rubble.
Many
other houses damaged and washed away.
Many people homeless.
