That is a ...Maryann, I am glad you are cancer free. That is a rude wake up call. My circle of outside contacts are dwindling as I enter the later stage of my life. I no longer have the amount of outside contact I once had. That's okay. Sometimes we are the most effective while on our knees, and that seems to be where God has placed me at the moment. Blessings to you, and the people you are blessed to be in contact with.

It sounds like a day well spent, even if not all the chores were completed. I too love the song, How Great Thou Art.

I still have the tendency to get drawn into the frenzy of day to day life...but then the Lord will remind me of how uncertain life can be...what regrets would I have. <br />What you said about only effecting a small circle is true to a point....I like to think that those that I reach out to would then reach out to another, and another...kind of like a ripple effectMaryannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147215921425305908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432903033078402293.post-88129194257861049672012-11-05T08:46:22.689-07:002012-11-05T08:46:22.689-07:00There are times I just feel our hearts are exactly...There are times I just feel our hearts are exactly in the same place. I just finished Erma Bombeck's book and gleaned so much from her. I got up yesterday, after a full day with family, and got quiet before the Lord. I turned on How Great Thou Art and forwarded it to all my kids and asked that it be sung when I died...none responded, but I just listened and proclaimed the truth of that song<br />I was pondering on all that had happened the day before and where I had used my efforts to bless my family, and how for once I felt I had left behind what I was to leave behind.<br />The kitchen needed cleaning...five loads of dishes to be washed, but time with family and celebration had happened.<br /><br />Once again..thanks for taking my own heart's cry and putting it words.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.com
