Taking time to enjoy things like fishing....

enjoying nature...family and friends,

best things in life....

bridges

bridge........to connect or join

what to we need to connect or join in our lives?

how do we go about doing it?

Did it get broken? Does it need mended?

What are the bridges in your life?

Do you ever feel like sometimes you life is like walking on a bridge and you just have to be so very careful......sway too much one way or the other and right into the drink you go !!!!! Just keep your sights straight ahead !!!! Just hope for the best!!!! Just do the best you can. That's all you can do.

To believe in making wishes

and have faith they can come true,

To believe that you can find some joy

in everything you do,

To believe in giving gladly

for no reason, just because,

to believe in love...that's what it means

to believe in Santa Claus.

Well, Everyone thinks Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I suppose it is....but, it's Thanksgiving that really kick starts it for me........ it is what reminds me of what it's all about and what we have to be thankful for. and then the joy begins.......the giving, the loving and all the getting together with the family and all the kindness the world gives to one another and then finally Christmas......... Not to mention that my birthday is near Christmas and I love that part.......it's like the whole world celebrates with me......makes me a kid again......

"...I happen to paint things that reflect

Footprints in the Sand


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."
