Memory

I 'm guilty.  I have definitely taken my brain functioning for granted.  When I think of Alzheimer's,  I think of so many lost memories,  and I realize just how precious that keeping them is.  It's not something that can adequately be captured in a photo, or even in a journal, but it's the LiViNg experiences that are to be coveted.  Only when you live or work closely with an Alzheimer's patient will the true reality of this illness set in.  It's permanent and unrepentant.  Yet there are many happy moments.... even in this season. My husband and I have both had grandparents with it, will probably have parents with it one day and may even suffer ourselves.  I have elderly sat with patients with it before and am doing it now. Day by day memories are forever leaving... skipping through the roads of time in our minds.  Live each moment as if it's ur last...it just may be. Are u ready?

Making all things new again

There's a song we have that I LOVE with this same title. It tells about Jesus and how that is exactly what he does.  Amazing how much he cares for every little tedious detail in our lives. Often I am guilty of not caring near enough. Don't get me wrong...I care...but is it unrelenting? Hmmm

I do not want to spend my whole life asking what if I had given everything instead of going through the motions. This is applicable spiritually...of course... but also generally. Life is supposed to have purpose. A purpose filled life would be hard pressed to "go through the motions" I think.  Therefore it is our own responsibility to be certain we do not fall into habitual routines and in so doing ... utterly fall.  I cannot say what's in your heart nor can you interpret mine...but thank God... Jesus knows and loves us still.  Yes still.

Holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come!

Absolutely amazing love.

Labor day rain...<3

Here we are, enjoying our "day off",

watching it rain, pour, then quit alternately. Yes ENJOYING!!  THIS rain is from a hurricane...Lee to be precise.   I am so thankful we aren't flooding, and so far no twisters have demolished our home. We are so very blessed.  We have cooked our amazing stuffed burgers and home cut fries, and banana pudding... yum! :0) I'm so thankful we are able to enjoy spending time with each other...such memories could never be replaced.
