What Things


I just really love that title. It's short and precise and vague all at the same time. 

Here we are again with Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4. Join in here!



1. What makes you tired? 


Worry. The battlefield is in the mind, as they say.



2. What things do you value in life?


My sons and husband. My little great-niece and great-nephew who come stay with us sometimes. Jesus who never leaves me. Peace and quiet. Good coffee. 

It lifts up my soul to see or hear about something and then pray about it. 

I know God answers prayer. I've seen it. He'll answer you too.



3. How do you want others to see you?


I want to have kind eyes. You can't see me, so you don't know. 

I hope that is what other people see in me.



4. What things do you enjoy most and find most relaxing to do?


Daydreaming

Praying

Writing

  1. Really good questions to poke at my brain this morning.
    1. What makes me tired...first thought is when I am doing my "stint" for my dear alzheimer's friend. The brutal disease keeps me on my toes.
    2. I value, like you, my Husband, my sons and their families, I value my relationship with the Lord and just how much He cares for me.
    3. I would hope people see me as kind and giving. I pray they see me as compassionate with a serving heart.
    4. I really enjoy pulling weeds..if you can believe it!! It has a certain therapy to working the earth and watching nature around me. I also enjoy photography not great at it but it does give me a satisfaction that feeds my artistic bent. I love NOT having to explain why I took a certain picture or gave it the treatment. Nuff said!
    I love sitting with a flavored coffee and cruising blogs.

  8. I'm sure you do have kind eyes. :)
    Someone once told me I had kind eyes, her name was Iris and I took that as one of the nicest compliments I've been given.

  10. I think you do have kind eyes. I can tell by reading your blog that you have a kind heart and I think it shows in the eyes.

  11. I like the questions and your answers. Jesus spoke often telling us not to worry and to fear not, and thus he knows we do worry. Sometimes I walk to the ocean two blocks from my house and give Him my worries.

  13. Yeah, kind eyes. I hope others see that too, even when I'm not at my best, but only so that I may bring glory to Christ. I'm not worthy but He always is. Any kindness in me is the Holy Spirit.
    Good post.
    Blessings.

  16. Hi Sandi: Rude people make me tired, I worry they will offend someone, God my family and the good life God gave me are what I value most.
    Kindness and friendship are what I hope people see in me.
    Mass on Sunday mornings, I love a good cup of coffee on the back deck when the sun is coming up, spending time with family and friends are what I find relaxing plus reading.
