Happy Easter!

My Easter break flew by, although it felt so slow when it was happening because of the work I had to do, and of the play I had to fore go.
I kept giving myself those adult-talks,like, "you don't have to have a vacation right now. You had a couple of days with the kids, and you should be grateful for time off so that you can get this other stuff done. You do get summer off, you know."
I seemed to really need a lot of those talks. I seemed to be a little whiny and low on self motivation.
I got stuff done. To be honest, I feel a traitor to the name of my blog. Any thanks I gave during it seemed without any soul.
I did have a great time with the kids in Sea World. And it was so adorable seeing my grand babies watch their first movie in the theatre!
The other favorite thing was doing stuff with Sarah. It was great getting Easter stuff ready with her, and going with her, Josh and Lisa to lunch at Cafe Aroma's. A really nice time. It was a memory making little event walking around that little pond I've always wanted to stop at: Lake Fulmore, with Lucy, Jackie, and Sarah. That water is amazingly serene. Like a mirror, mountain blending into mountain, tree into tree. And even shafts of light touching at the water's surface, trying to trick you into thinking that both are real. Or are they?
I remember thinking, but held back, or maybe it came out, OH, THE GLORY!
Even baby Jack clapped his hands when he looked out on that view!
And having the kids with me for the Easter service, well, that's heaven!!
THANKS so much for coming down, Sarah and Josh!!!
That's funny...just blogging about the good stuff cheered me up!
What does it say, "...Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of GOOD report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things." Philippians 4:8

Happy Easter!

Time to move

Isaiah chapter 43 says, "Don't consider the former things, leave the past behind, behold I am doing a new thing."
That passage, and the fact that I've been hearing about His opening up new doors for me, gave me the sense that it's time to move.
I got some prayer about moving at church. As they were praying, I pictured a sunset. And the light of the sunset struck me. I felt it was speaking to me of the giving up of the sunrise views that I see from my couch each morning through my French doors. It spoke to me of a new direction. It spoke to me of leaving the memories of this house behind, and looking forward.
And it spoke to me of David's sunset. His night had come, but not really. His light had merely moved out of my view, just as the sun does when it sets. I can't see the powerful "afterglow" that he now lives in, but the glowing remnant of that sunset in my mind made me to know that what he's in now is so much more beautiful!
"He makes all things beautiful in His time."

At any rate, I think it's time to move.
Is. 61:7
"Instead of your shame, you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion, they shall rejoice in their portion."
