Fwowfers.

That's what my oldest son called flowers when he was little.

Here are some for you.

What Do You Think?

 

I am doing a thing! Look here.

1.  What do you believe the purpose of life is?  

I think we are here to learn something. And choose something.

2.  How do you handle stress ? What do you recommend to others who are stressed out?

The right answer is to cast our cares on the Lord for He cares for us. The wrong answer is worry, sleeplessness, and fear. How do we cast our cares? I am still learning that part, but here is a good start:

Phillipians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Prayer and thankfulness and giving it to God really, truly works. Try it.

3. What enjoyable things do you wish you could do more often? How would  it improve your life? 

I like to walk on the beach. I think it is best not to do it too much, though. It is always special when I go. The nearest beach is about two hours from here.

4. Do you believe in God?   Why or why not? 

Yes.

"In this galaxy, there is a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that and perhaps more, only one of each of us." -Dr. Leonard McCoy

There is only one you. Why?

hush.

Walk 

gently

in

the

lives

of

others.

Love

Love is merciful;

Love is kind.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8

Song

By day the Lord commands

His steadfast love,

And at night his song is with me,

A prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 42:8

Banner

...and His banner over me is Love.

Song of Solomon 2:4

Love

1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, 

but have not Love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 

Well

He needed to go through Samaria. John 4:4

 

What if He came through your town,

to your well,

just to find you?

 

 

 

 

I Feel Adopted

Accepted.

Loved.

Welcomed.

Isn't that what adopted means?

I know an inordinate number of adoptive families. They just seem to be everywhere. I am so passionate and supportive of it, though I am having a hard time understanding why. I don't think we'll adopt.

But somehow this is a Thing in my heart. It just inspires me and, when I hear of someone doing it, I want to shout, "Woohoooo! Bring them home!" And to the adoptees, "You are not alone!"

So I started this blog (a decade behind the trend, as always) and have been thinking about why adoption moves me so. It occured to me that I feel adopted. The way my life is...I just feel brought in, rescued, given a place, a family. I feel like I am cheering for "my people" when someone is adopted.
