What happened to the lazy days of summer? Popsicles on the porch and sitting by the pool! I guess this was not that kind of summer for me- mostly because i don't have a pool this summer!! :) however, there has been some occasional popsicles on the porch! My flowers are stuggling for life- the summer sun was a little to hot for the varieties that i chose this year. We have been so busy... but with what? The days slip by without notice- Time comes and goes like a summer breeze- never stopping, but not loud enough for anyone to stop and take notice. I watch my kids and wish i had the "carefree child mind" - no worries, no hassles except a little sibling rivalry. I am Thankful for God's blessing of health for my children and heart sick for those in tragedy while I think of those in prayer. We have been througt the ringer the last couple years- or has it been a decade? Each Fire brings a new appreciation for RAIN! Life is hard in so many ways- but I've learned to trust- I don't try to control... have i let it all go? learned to believe more? somehow life is more enjoyable now. Each day brings new hope, although- not to take lightly the dark water we have passed through... we grow, embracing the strength wev'e gained and trust we have learned to put in the Almighty. As I watch my children play and laugh- I am grateful-- for just that, the days i can sit and watch them play and laugh!!!
