The Gift of Mother...Wrapped up in Time

The Gift of Mother,,,

Wrapped up in Time.

There are many things in this life that grow more precious with time.

Many things that we take for granted in our younger years, shine more brightly in our hearts as the years pass by. Like a gem that is polished over time.

It is not that we do not love and appreciate them in our youth. Not at all.

A mother's presence, her reassuring touch, her encouraging words, her loving help, her tender care, her wonderful example, all serve to define and shape us. They are foundational with amazing ability to impact and form a young child's perspective on life and themselves.

The gift of a God fearing mother can not be over emphasized.

The gift of a praying mother can not be overestimated.

The gift of a caring mother can not be over appreciated.

The gift of a loving mother can not be over played.

For many, their dear mothers have passed onto their Heavenly reward.

May their precious memories be a source of consolation and gratefulness and may the Lord grant peace and comfort.

But for those of us, still blessed to have our mothers...

Let's thank our God.

And lets thank our moms.

Not just on Mother's Day, but often.

May we appreciate the beautiful gifts and gems that they are...

Ones that shines even more brightly, when wrapped in the perspective of time.

"Her children rise up and call her blessed;" Proverbs 31:28

The Gift of Art and Creative Contributions

I am marveling at the Gift of Art and Creative Contributions! Wow. What a lovely day. My legs are tired, but my heart if full. Hubby and I biked another portion of the Hennepin Trail today. Beautiful and historic! So of course, our love affair with God's beautiful creation was stoked. But surprisingly, so was my appreciation for Art. We enjoyed biking past one lock after another, those old engineering marvels from the early days of the 20th century. The trail we biked along was a link to days gone by. For it was the same old pathway utilized by mules as they hauled the barges laden with grain and supplies along the canal joining the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. How I appreciated the old steel rusty structures, the bridges and the locks, with their levers, gears, arches and spokes. They spoke to me of the past. As did the old path itself. There were relatively few people o

What I Saw Today

I am musing... ~11/2020 about what I saw today I stepped into the med room this morning. It is a little room off of the west side nurse's station. It was quiet back there. And what I saw made my heart sing with a sense of grateful comfort. There on the counter, someone had left an open Bible. It was sitting there, a testimony that someone had likely taken a moment to grab a deep breath and glean some divine words of encouragement. It was still open, inviting others to also partake from the comfort of it's living pages. Like for so many, this has been a really tough season for all of us. Nurses, aides, administration, housekeeping, dietary, activities....we all have found ourselves caught up in a reality we did not realize we had signed up for. The extra logistics, anxieties, regulations. uncertainties, fogged up glasses, claustrophobic masks, staffing challenges, reside

God Stories. What's yours?

I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep. It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs
