Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Sharing

Found a post I put on another Blog in 2009. Wanted to share it w/you on the family Blog:

Just growling

Real sad to be alone without my buddy---letting out a growl to say so.

Real sad to be without my girl and boy---letting out a growl to say so.

Real glad to have my kids, grand kids, great grand kids---letting out a growl to say so.

And God Said No

I asked God to take away my pride. And God said “No.” He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. And God said “No.” He said her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience. And God said “No.” He said patience is a by-product of tribulations. It isn’t granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness. And God said “No.” He said He gives me blessings, happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain. And God said “No.” He said suffering draws me apart from worldly cares and brings me closer to Him.

I asked God to make my spirit grow. And God said “No.” He said I must grow on my own. But He will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. And God said “No.” He said He will give me life, that I may enjoy all things.

I ask God to help me love others, as much as he loves me. And God said “Ah, finally you have the idea!”

Hail of a Night

Had ping pong and golf sized hail for a couple of hours last night. Holes in the (not now) new daylight window covers, deck pelted causing pits in wood and stain/paint on flooring, tresses, rails (you name it--mostly cosmetic), garden/deck decor broken (Don't laugh Kat) and just pretty discusting. Have already filed a claim and should have estimator contacting me by next week. Saved a truck total claim for State Farm---my neighbor parked his pickup in the extra garage area. Thinking about moving to Delaware where nothing ever happens.

Mass this AM, ran errands and getting ready for a busy, busy next week. Have plants to set out today--patting myself on the back I did not put them out yesterday.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.
