In our church before the Missionary leaves for 2 years he is asked to speak in church and it is called a Farewell. Usually it is the Sunday right before he leaves. Then everyone comes over after for food and goodbyes. Well, they asked Spencer to have his 3 weeks before his actual leaving date...and I LIKE THAT PLAN! I wasn't a blithering blubbering mess in front of everyone while trying to have a sweet afternoon. Spencer's talk was AMAZING. He is such a good MAN. I love that he GETS that its ALL ABOUT LOVE and HAPPINESS. Tons of people came...the boy has some serious Friends. As the weeks have passed and we are getting closer to Wednesday, the Goodbyes have gotten more real and you would think I would have lost 20 pounds just in water......
My GOD is in the next room, cooking unseen feasts and humming.
T I I S G Turn it into something Good.
I devote the rest of my days to acts of loving kindness. I help those whom God has placed in my path. I will be as loving as I can, as often as I can, for as many people as I can, for as long as I live. Here if you need me. (Kate Braestrup)
Instead of FEAR, I feel INSPIRED. Instead of overwhelmed, I feel the excitement of the possibilities.
I learn ways to replace FEAR with LOVE.
ASK FOR HELP. Follow the guidance sent to you.
DO NOT COMPLAIN...if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. (a mom I bet)
We become what we love...so nothing will affect your life more than whom and what you choose to love. Matthew Kelly
I wish someone else would fill this out...I'd love to see what others see when it comes to me(ok, maybe not). I LOVE my family, I love being home. I love to cook, garden, read, run, do family history, study, eat, quilt, play the piano, plan and have parties with friends, being warm-- the sun on my skin, my hands/body in hot water. I love the change of seasons, tulips in the Spring, annuals in the summer, pumpkins in the fall and soup & fresh bread from the oven in the winter.I LOVE my life. I LOVE babies and children and teenagers and adults. I love people. And if you're reading this, I'd bet that I LOVE YOU!!!!!
