Good morning lovely community

I am about to venture outside to have a prayer walk. My walks are so different here at the front range of the Rocky Mountains than they were among the horses and cows of our farmland. We’ve been here for 2 months already and I am grateful every day that God has graciously brought us here for such a time as this.

After my walk I will head over to my daughter’s house to be with her as she continues to recover from her surgery. So grateful for this gift.
And so grateful to visit here with all of you on our prayer Tuesday. As always, my thoughts are with our dear friend Ursula and the gift she was to all of us. I will be chatting with her and praying for her family as I walk.

Good morning lovely friends

My heart is filled with gratitude for your prayers and kind words of encouragement. It was a long surgery (or so it seemed to me!) but all went well and my daughter is home and beginning her recovery.

Only her husband was allowed at the hospital so I spent the day at their house with their lovable and loved dog, which was a blessing because my daughter was worried about leaving him all day…they just adopted him from a rescue shelter and he needs lots of love!
I also spent the day cleaning their house from top to bottom! I worked off a lot of my anxiety and I was so happy to be doing that for them. At one point, I discovered there was flooding in their lower level…my husband came right over and discovered the problem and was able to stop it. We spent hours cleaning up the aftermath!

All of this to say that my heart is filled with gratitude that we are living here instead of 2,000 miles away! Nobody knew when we pushed up our timeline for moving that she would need surgery. But God did. Once again, we were being guided and led with Grace as has been my life’s story.

I often pray the 23rd Psalm during my walks. One verse in particular has been my mantra and praise of gratitude.
“Your rod and Your staff are a comfort to me” Like a shepherd with his sheep God has gently used his “rod and staff” to graciously lead and guide and protect me and my little family. My cup is overflowing.
Thank you again my friends for being with me and for all your love and prayers.

Yes, dear Palm. Prayer Tuesday blessings to you and all our old and new friends here in this sacred space.

So grateful to be here this morning and to see the blue sky and sunshine after an unusually cloudy day in Colorado. It is rare that the sun does not make an appearance here and I really missed our Brother Sun yesterday. But, this area of the country is in need of rain so the cloudy rainy day yesterday was a gift, despite the exacerbation of my fibromyalgia pain that it brought. One of the (many) reasons I am grateful to be living here now is the climate….sunny and dry. Good medicine for body and spirit!

My daughter is recovering well from her surgery and I remain grateful that I am here and it is behind us now. Today we will be visiting a house that we are, God-willing, moving to soon! It is a lovely home in a 55+ community…which will be a new experience for us. I love our little rental and we will stay here for a few more months while we gradually move into our new home. It was a stressful process this purchase, as are all real estate transactions in this country unfortunately. But God has been working out the details and, although I have had moments of extreme anxiety, I feel His guidance and Presence. Mother Mary as well.

I have a beautiful framed painting of a lighthouse that I purposefully unloaded from our cargo trailer to place in our bedroom in our temporary home. Within this painting is a scripture verse that I have been praying almost daily through all the events and changes that are happening in our lives right now. It has brought me much comfort as I wrestled with all the decisions to be made regarding our future as we, hopefully, grow older still with Grace and Peace in our hearts. ~Sharing it with my grateful love ♥ Om Shanti dear friends.

Dear Zenith….I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I join with you as you grieve, as I lost my only sister just this past February. I am still processing my grief and suspect I will be for quite some time. The blessings are there as she is no longer suffering. Your gratefulness touches my heart. I was not with my sister when she passed because of Covid and she also lived far from me in another state. So I do understand the resentment mixed with gratitude.
I pray in the days and weeks and years ahead your peace-giving understanding of life’s paradoxes will grow.

~Blessings ♥
