back to what I love to do

I think its time to write again..my grandson Jesse said the other day..Hey Grandma it's been 2 years since you last posted something. Nothing like children to get you back on track..REALLY 2 YEARS??? REALLY my how time flies.
it's not that i don't have anything to say ..i'm always being distracted by the interruptions of everyday life..God help me to see what's important to you today and to express it whatever way you want me to.

Thanks Jesse..i love you and your heart..hope you enjoy some of these posts.

Oh Canada

Oh Canada where do you Stand?
The blessing was once upon your land
You stood for truth in years gone by
Why have you believed the lies?

Creeping, sneaking, prowling about
ravenous wolves devouring your offspring
catching you off guard!

RIGHTS! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! RIGHTS!
is the cry we hear
a self-centered, self-willed child you've become!

BUT.....BUT
Look at all the charities, nobel causes, benevolent funds,
humanitarianism, multi-culturism, never-ending laws,
Your heart protests
While your family lies in ruins before your very eyes
because of your neglect

The truths you revel in right now
Lock people in prisons of despair
It used to be "Thy Kingdom Come"
and now its "MY will be done"
What hope do you find there?

Your children,
Prodigals, prostitutes, homeless they've become
worshipping idols, images of men and starving for love

What will bring you to your knees once again?

brokeness ...humility
caused your forefathers to cry aloud
"WHO AM I????"
and looking to the WORD
The answer it rang clear
A son, a daughter, a child, a brother, a sister , a husband, a wife
a mother , a father,
A friend of God...how could you ever forget..the one who created you

And thankfulness is the key
that unlocks the human heart and soul
for God who loves and created you purposes to make you whole

So give thanks and surrender to a way that's higher than yours
It's the very freeing power that you have been searching for
God knows more than you will ever know

His truths will bring you back to life
and bring restoration for you to return
to truly standing on guard again!

peace

WOW sometimes life just seems toooooo BUSY!!!! Then WHAT?????? RE-FOCUS!!!!
AND ASK MYSELF SOME QUESTIONS LIKE WHY, WHAT AND HOW, WHEN< WHERE?????
I'm teaching ESL these days so these words are very familiar to me at present...I just need to apply them to my life and get some SHALOM. PEACE...
the actual root of that word means WHOLENESS < COMPLETENESS and there is quite a few others that belong to its family...GOD MADE WORD FAMILIES!!!!

I've been watching an early morning TV program and learning about our original language..the Creator's and creation's Language..yes it's HEBREW..and God used this language to CREATE EVERYTHING INVISIBLE AND VISIBLE
and it will be spoken in Heaven
..sorry don..not GERMAN...

did you know that HEBREW is a mathematical Language and that our God is intricately concerned with details..every detail of our lives.

did you know that every HEBREW word has 3 consanants in it that speak of its ROOTS..yes roots, just like a tree has roots and bears fruit or leaves , so does each Hebrew root word gives birth to other words , same beginnings

did you know that in every HEBREW word you can recognize it's family,related words, by its 3 consanant roots..COOL HUH..JUST LIKE OUR CHILDREN..they have familiar characteristics coming out of their roots..family line.

did you know that there are no vowels in the HEBREW language just consanants and they can become any part of speech you want them to be..like verbs, or nouns, or adjectives or whatever else you need...very COOL!

more to follow...the eternal teacher is quite excited about all of this..have you noticed???

so SHALOM TO YOU and ME and YOURS today..hope my ENGLISH IS CORRECT..
it's the heart that matters right..

may you be still and know that HE is GOD today and that He is a God who is LOVE and can BE nothing else
HE LOVES YOU INTRICATELY..every detail of your life!

one last thought to ponder did you know
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE THINKING THE TRUTH AND HAVE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
WHOAAAAAAA WHAT am I thinking???

BE blessed with HIS TRUTH and HIS ROOTS today and forever..mama

the rescue...

self-rightness exposed!!!

My dear husband had minor surgery today to remove a cataract and put in a new lens enabling him to see more clearly..He left the office with a patched eye..the pirate look!!! Being the "no fear" .."no big deal" thinking kind of man he is , he sailed through the procedure and of course had the surgeon laughing during the course of the event...even Pavarati's timing was right on and the minor surgery ended with "applause" for both the singer's performance and the surgeons..quite a unique marketing strategy don't you think..Don loved it..he thought the applause was for him!!!!


Now being the man that he is he really didn't ask for "my presence" or invite me to be by his side ( you know to hold his hand or something) but i thought i would be the wise, well wiser, compassionate wife and go to his "aid"..you know drive him home at least as "recommended" by the doctor's office. So I got in my car and headed for the office 2 minutes from our place, expecting to come to the "rescue". New lens in place we left and headed for our individual cars....he drove his own vehicle there..remember he wasn't asking for my help.

The plan was to take one vehicle home and i would chauffeur him around for the next few hours while He recuperated..my thoughts. I was parked directly behind him and we decided to drive a short distance .. to the next parking lot over where there is an amazing Bagel place ( I had rushed out of the house without breakfast as I was on a rescue mission)..the one-eyed patched man gets in his vehicle and drives carefully and speedily over to the Bagel store. The ever wise ,compassionate rescuing wife gets in her car and drives swiflty up and over and onto the curb that she forgets is in front of her vehicle...Yep, I did just that and now guess who's coming to whose rescue???

After a failed attempt to reverse out of the situation , my handy dandy cell phone needs to do its job,HOW EMBARRASSING...AND HUMBLING ... STRANDED ON THE CURB AND REQUESTING AID FROM A POST OPERATIVE PATIENT,that i had come to help out..there really was no one else around at the time ...
"could you please help me..i'm hung up on the curb"...silence

the one eyed patched man came walking back across the lot to my rescue ,assessed the situation with his one eye and after an unsuccessfull attempt at reversing the car back over the curb he told "moi" to get in and he( the just finished surgery man) "lifted" the car up and over the curb while i put the "pedal to the medal in reverse" so to speak.. back and over the curb we went ...
guess I wasn't much of a rescuer today huh..but the warm cinnamon bagel and tea comforted and soothed my soul and I realized once again that men are just made for rescuing damsels in distress... even when they are only seeing out of one eye...

I hate it when i think the "No big deals" are "Big Deals" and then it's made clear to me that maybe they aren't as big a deal as I thought they were!!!! I guess I could have just believed him and waited patiently at home...but then I might have missed out on that warm bagel and cup of tea..
Life's journey is full of experiences and memories we can share together.. i think we had a memorable day!

New International Version (NIV)
The man (woman) who thinks he/she knows something does not yet know as he/she ought to know.
1 Corinthians 8:1-3 ( in context)

thanks Prince Charming...you were my Hero today!!! Just think what you will do with all that new vision you've just acquired

and then there was none!!!!

i thought i had self-control ...it seemed to slip away every time i took another" one" out of the box .
I can do it i told myself after taking "a few" out of the box and leaving the box downstairs in the cupboard far from the computer room i was in..aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...just "one" more.......
back down again ............ another handful...okay that's it!!! ..no more..that should satisfy this little sweet craving i have...well just one last one..back down again to that cupboard.... hhhhhhmmmmm....might as well take that BOX up with me and keep it in the computer room ..just in case i want some more tomorrow or the next day...... HAHAHa..
mmmmmmmm...sooooo good..just one more...mmmmmm..okay another......tummy beginning to feel a little chocolated out...mmmmmm but mmmmm..one last one...
hhhmmmm
only" two" left..well one more...AWWWWWWWWWW mine as well eat that last one can't leave one little cashew in the box all alone !!!
It may as well join the rest of them in my not feeling so good tum tum !!!


I CAN'T BELIEVE I ATE THE WHOLE BOX...IN LESS THAN 5 mins i'm certain..
YUCK not feeling so great now!

Self control is a very fine way to go..so i think i'll just control myself ...next time:):)
Thanks Jenaya and Mikayla for all those fine boxes of chocolates....do you think you could help me out with the self-control ..maybe we could eat them together next time!!!
