Hope




if i could share my heart in a song
 it would be
 in the notes of this music as much as
the words.
Do you ever feel
alone,
that No one knows you ?
Or wants to.

Sometimes the void that fills my soul
could hold the ocean
that
craddles the Titanic
at the bottom of its
cold silent
depth.

i was born with this feeling
created with it
so that i would realize
that no ocean...
no planet
no star
could possibly
fill
it.

Only hope
only

Jesus.

"It just So happened"



the face of love
You wouldn't know by looking at,
 or talking with him
but
 my Sweetheart is a
 30+
year survivor.
He was diagnosed and treated in the most aggressive manner of the day for a
cancerous Brain tumor.
The treatment alone could have killed him.
But Thanks be to God
 this man stands today as a
 Testament to the will,
 Hope of the spirit
 & 
the Grace of God.
my goal is to get my Sweetie B' to sit down and share his miracle here ..
His favorite line is:
 "It just So Happened" 
the gist is his story of redemption:
How God sometimes has to get us laying flat on our backs
before we look up. 
Sometimes it's painfull
but it's always
in Gods timing and way.
The best thing we can do is to put ourselves in His hands.

i am so blessed that the
Love of my Life
was given the miracle of a new lease on life. 
 my new life began when we met and decided
our lives were meant to be shared
 as one.
& so i have been privileged to share in this miracle.
  
Still the miracle spreads
as i make the extra effort 
 to live each day
in a way that builds up
rather than tares down.
The pain from the fibromyalgia and the inconvenience of this sensitivity to chemicals sometimes drags me into a pit of negativity...
my Husband is
So sweet and patient with me,
 always bringing a sweet word,
 a silly saying
or just his knowing smile
& tons of prayers 
He's been through pain.. horrific pain!!
He's been through the
 "Valley of the shadow".
He's laid his life down at the feet of
Jesus
and been given the
"Gift of another lifetime"
a New Creation in Christ.
& So
in my struggle to keep my mind on things above
i remember what this Dear man has gone through...
How can i be any less grateful?
 i get to wake up every day
and live it with the knowledge that
It just SO happened
that

"Therefore, 

if
anyone
is in Christ, he is a New
Creation;

the

old

has

gone,

the new

has come!"

2nd Corinthians 5:17

Thanks for blessing me
with your visit here today.

Blessings
& Buzz'z

Thar Bee SNOW!


picture by John Gutenkunst for the Parker Pioneer

See That!
It Snowed on Sunday
at 4,131 ft.
or so.
These are the Whipple Mountains
on the other side of the Colorado river,
The California side.
It was an interesting site to see from our desert home
and This is as close as i want to get these days.


i never did like snow.

 It got chilly here too;
Rain and sun at the same time
but at least the rain settled the dust that had been kicked up last week.
We get lots of blowing dust here.

We were glad for the rain
it was good for our experimental garden.

i have Zucchini coming up in a pot
and chard,
lettuce and tiny carrots popping up in the box Sweet B' built for me.
We're going for broke this year...& built another, bigger raised bed.
Planted hierloom muskmelons
and will plant native squash that are said to do well here in our dry and thirsty land.
i hope to save seed in order to continue the process.
my rain barrel/bucket brimmed over with this storm so we're looking to install a larger vessle... Maybe Two!

The forcast is for more of what we're used to
Sunny & warm.

Hope all is well where You Are

 kare to join me in a Cuppa Aloe?

:D

Blessings
&
BUZ'zz

The Origional- Lord Of The Dance



Did all of you know that  Donovan sang of
 Jesus,
 "back in the day?
It's easy to forget these things under the flood of what Pop culture
and social media choose to pay attention to...
Sure most of us equate this singer with "Mellow Yellow"...
& "Jennifer Juniper ...la-la-la-la-la"!  
OH yeah ...
"...then when the Hurdy Gurdy man came singing songs of ... "
The ultimate Psychedelic tripout whether one was stoned or not.

Hey!0  i was just a kid ... not a pothead at all and that one tripped me out!

Anyways
i thought some of us older kids might enjoy knowing this song is out there by someone Not entirely expected.
...by me anyway...
.
.    .    .

.
.

my father has been in the hospital again this week.
"Atrial fibrillation" is what i'm told.
but
who knows whats what with my dear Dad.
Mom & he have not been able to have their reunion as they wished...
both are in such fragile health.
Mom says Dad loves Jesus
& so
our trust is always in Our
Father, God;
looking forward to our heavenly family reunion, since earthly ones don't always materialize.
i'm unsure these days whether i will see any family members again.
Life is fleeting and everybody is so busy and/or poor...
making trips to see peoples isn't always possible.
We really can't know what a day will bring
can we.
Thank GOD... He does.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see. "
Hebrews 11:1



Shall

We

Dance

?

Jabberwocky

i love discovering things like this!
A classic poem i remember from
 'back in the day'.
Did Y'all know this poem was put to music?
By Donovan (Hurdy Gurdy man) no less..
how cool is this!
Anyways...
This is how life for me is these days ...
Jubjub birds

whiffling

Burbling

Jabberwocky!

i must sharpen my 'Vorpal ' sword;
 Aye?

For
 the
 word
 of God
is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
 it penetrates even
 to dividing
 soul and spirit,
 joints and
 marrow;
it judges
 the thoughts
 and
attitudes
 of the
heart.

 Hebrews 4:12

Happy Hunting my friends.
