Where has the time gone?

What?  June already?  Man, how time flies when you're having fun! 
Fun?  How about when you're working your tail off.  Yeah, we've been pretty busy.  What with grass to cut, the pool to get opened, cars to wash, clothes to launder, house to clean, etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, right, it's not all work.  We have been busy, but hey, we're retired.  We move at our own pace. 

 




We had a carport built for our motor home.  YAY!  Finally, we get to bring it home to stay.  And as you can see, I've been doing a little rock painting.  Mike is working on restoring an old boat.  It's going to be really cool when he finishes in a few years.  We've been cleaning out and getting rid of stuff.  Who needs all that stuff!  We don't!  If we haven't used it in a long time, it's out of here.  We've actually sold several items on Craig's list this summer. We haven't taken any Harley trips but we just haven't found the time yet.  Also we go check on Grandmother (Mama) every few days.  She's still having mini strokes and keeps going down hill.  She can't even carry on a conversation.  If she speaks, you have to put your ear to her mouth to hear.  She can't even feed herself now.  So sad. 
But God has everything in His control and all is well.  At least she's not in pain and she is comfortable.  What more can we ask.  Can I make a confession now?  I was by her bedside last night and she was sleeping (which she does a lot now).  I was praying for God to just go ahead and take her on to Heaven.  She's a Christian.  She just lays in a bed most of the time.  What kind of life is that?  She would hate her circumstance if she knew it.  Well, the Holy Spirit let me know that I should not be telling God how to do His job.  God's timing is not our timing.  He will take her when He is ready and not before!  So I thanked Him and said, "please keep her pain free and comfortable for however long she is here".  I was alone with her at the time.  Mike was visiting another person who lives there.  So while I was praying, I had time to listen to God too.  Here lately, I haven't been praying as I should and I most certainly haven't been listening to God.  What?  you say.  Yeah, I confess.  Sometimes I can act like a heathen.  But God and I are getting back on track.  I never want to live without God.  Been there.  Didn't like it.

Well, that's all the confessing I'm going to do.  You all pray for Grandmother and get by yourselves and lay out all your troubles before God.  Then listen to His answer.  He will guide us if we give Him the time and LISTEN! 

The End!
