WHAT? A SNOW STORM IN MARCH?


I thought, this being Sunday, I would post something a bit more inspirational and encouraging. Back to my "life lesson stories" next time.  Stay tuned...:-)

FOLLOW THE SNOWPLOW

 Well, we thought that time of year might be over for us, but the weather people say we could have "some inches" of snow today as a huge storm races across the country. I glance out the window and already see the snowplows preparing for, and even breaking away the snow from the streets.  My thoughts turn to how, at times, that is the way God works in our lives.

"How?" you might ask.  Well, again I look at the snow plows clearing the way so people can drive on a smooth, clear path to church, their work, or wherever they need to go.

Just as God promised the Israelites when He led them out of bondage in Egypt, He went "before them" in a bright cloud of light by day, and a bright cloud of fire by night.  In the same way He promises “He will go before us,” and make the way possible, or at least easier for us to get through whatever storms might lie ahead of us.

Sometimes He has to give us just a bit more grace, time after time, in order for us to make it through these storms.  In the same way, I see the snowplows go up and down our street many times in one day, in order to keep the traffic flowing more smoothly.  

God is faithful.  He stays right in front of us, leading the way, making the path on which we have to travel a little easier and more clear, giving us strength and hope, just as He did for the Israelites when they were in the desert.  

Yes, I see some snow out there on this March day, but I also heard a bird singing his song, believe it or not!  Somehow he knows that Spring is still coming.....very soon!  We can trust in that fact, also, if we believe in and trust that same "somehow/Someone!"

And so I encourage you to "Just follow the snow plow!", Dear Friends!

"Who is this person?" you ask? Let me introduce myself......

February 5, 2019 Good morning to any and all who are visiting my blog page. This is a new thing for me, but something I have wanted to try for a long time. Without going into much detail about it all, I want to tell you what you can expect from my posts in the future. As the title of my blog  says, I simply want to share some times when I was blessed to be able to "just sit with someone," and to share times when I have needed someone to just sit with me. As I grow older, very often my mind seems to wander back in time from when I was a little girl, all the way to who I am now....an elderly lady who has lived a full, rich and blessed life. As I traveled along the pathway of life I learned many, many lessons from various times and happenings. So I ask you to wander back with me to some of those times.  Times of joy, grief, wonder, happiness, fun, quietness, and so many other ways. Most of all I hope to be an inspiration to some of you, whether it be in the physical, spir

SPRING STORM SEASON IS HERE!!

CAUGHT IN A WHIRLWIND    “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”   II Cor. 4:9 After just having extremely severe storms the past few days, my thoughts go back to another time when my late husband and I were caught in such a storm while on our way to a college graduation in the next state over.  The day started out as a beautiful sunny Spring day.   The drive was to take about four hours.   Just about 10 miles from where we would be staying, and while driving on the interstate, the sky became more and more black. We knew we were going to run into a storm before we got to our motel.   But, what happened was not just an ordinary storm.   We hit a "wall" of rain, hail the size of golf balls that were hitting the car and splattering.   The wind was whipping things around in the air; leaves, sticks and who knew what else, were being plastered all over

A HAUNTED HOUSE.....SCARED ME TO "LIFE?"

Image
Hi all! Does my blog subject have you totally confused? I know I would be.  Hopefully I can explain a bit more fully in the following story. I am thinking of a day when I was about 14 years old. Still a shy, bashful young lady living in the little home with mom, dad, three brothers and my baby sister, Faith. Across the street from us and down about four or five houses was a dark, gloomy old empty house. The windows were out, and boards were off here and there. No door. They say it was haunted, but I never wanted to find out!! (smile!) But as the law of averages goes, I "did find out one evening!"  Mom and I had been downtown to the grocery store and were walking home.  As we approached the spot across the street from the "old empty house" I held mom's hand, just because it made me feel more safe. All of a sudden it sounded like someone was on the roof of the old house, and had poured out a big box of rocks.  It was loud, and very scary! Mom and I hurrie
