* we went to our home church on Sunday, and even though our favorite pastor was not preaching, it WAS SO GOOD TO BE AT OUR CHURCH. to hear our music, to be with my church family. i was so blessed. we then went to have lunch with our peeps. THAT WAS AWESOME.

* one of my peeps is leaving and i am so happy for them, but so terribly sad for me. however, i have never just let a friendship die, and this one won't either. even if i hae to travel to the ends of the earth for it. friends, true friends are too hard to come by, to just let them fall by the wayside.

* i have never been to that part of the country, so it will be an adventure to DRIVE TO IT. my peeps will understand the significance of that statement. they will definitely have to help me get there. hopefully i won't have to go through a.

* what a blessed woman i am. i am sitting in my mother's house eating breakfast with my family looking at my beautiful daughters and feeling so much love inside for them. my hubby is with me and i have come to realize how precious our time together is. we are an incredibly blessed family. my oldest daughter is serving us. what a sweet young lady she is.


* HAVE A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING. oh by the way i am making my blog un-private. what is the fun of having a blog if none of the people i love and care about can't share my life.

A Canopy of Love........................

Jesus reminded this weekend that HE is my covering. He not only reminded me, He took the time to literally show me with an amazingly beautiful canopy of trees. It was a magnificent display of love towards me. The tree were so beautiful. As i stood under the canopy of trees, God reminded me that there is nowhere that His arms do not reach. That there is no place I can't feel His arms holding me.

I stood under these trees looking up at amazement of His love. Looking up at the branches that stretch far and wide, I was reminded that Jesus had always been with me, will always be with me and that He is as close as the mention of His name.

The colors were spectacular. The trees with their painted leaves beckoned me to spend time with my heavenly father out in nature. As I sat in the stillness of the outside, the wind would create a musical with the leaves that were falling from the trees. Just as Jesus would whisper love to me , the leaves would sing their special melody.

It was a magical time. I so enjoyed seeing my church family. I so enjoyed just sitting beneath the trees. I so enjoyed sitting outside with my friends and eating lunch woth them. What a blessed time it was. This weekend was about rest for me. Just sitting and resting. I so needed this.

Thank you for your covering Jesus. Thank You that You see tomorrow. Thank You for setting my feet on solid ground, even when I don't recognize it. I am such a blessed daughter of the King.
