We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. Helen Keller

Life is one long struggle to disinter oneself, to keep one’s head above the accumulations, the ever deepening layers of objects and obligations which attempt to cover one over, steadily, almost irresistibly, like falling snow.—Rose Macaulay
Let’s be careful to allow only really worthy while objects and obligations be apart of our lives.

We are not paying attention to our lives when we are merely reacting to the tasks required of us. When our souls ask deep questions, such as, Are you making a difference? We try to answer those questions with our “to do” list. “See,” we say as we show our list , “we’re getting a lot done.
Do I take the opportunity t9o learn from life or to ignore its teaching?

Victorious Vessel
In my musings about being a vessel, I thought I might as well wear a ‘V’ on my chest, and I grimaced. My mind then made the leap from vessel to victor, and I smiled.” I can do all things through Christ that strengtheneth me. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:13,19.
Then I thought of vocation:
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3
I therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the (divine) calling to which you have been called (with behavior that is a credit to the summons of God’s service, living as becomes you) with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another. Be eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of (and produced by) the Spirit in the binding power of peace. Amplified Bible
How blessed I am with a vocation that promises victory by simply being a vessel.

Either there is a God supremely good. One whom His children may love and trust to the very uttermost point without the slightest fear of the reality falling short of the heart’s desire, or else there is no God, no love, no forgiveness, no redress. God is wholly good, if good at all, and those who hope in Him will be wiser if they hope with all their hearts than if they hope with only half their hearts. William E. Huntington

Stars, Sparrows and Me
I spent Sept. 22-28th in Redding caring for my Mother-in-law. This is what my heart said:
Down a paved but pot-holed road on a mostly natural two acre piece
of land lives the “Flower Lady”. She has been taming this land by planting
flowers and bushes and trees and bulbs and grasses that would be good
to use in flower arrangements. Ground covers have been planted to help
keep the moisture in the soil. Fruit trees and grape vines are planted with
hope of a harvest, but the birds know exactly when the fruit is ripe.
A vegetable garden is found; fenced from deer and sun-screened from the
long hot days. This rocky, porous soil fights against taming, yet persistent
labor and a dream has worked a memorial to a great, grand lady.
In this place away from the busyness of life you’ll find peace and serenity,
birdsong and animal chatter. Here away from the lights of the world,
all the stars of the heavens can be seen. Here in this place faith assures us:
the God who knows the stars by name and watches each sparrow….cares for me.
Obedience and Peace

It has been well remarked, It is not said that after keeping God’s commandments, but in keeping them there is great reward. God has linked these two things together, and no man can separate them—
obedience and peace. F. W. Robertsom
Watering Gardens to Make Beautiful Bouquets
This would be my six word Saturday after spending 4 days watering Elmer’s mother’s gardens, picking flowers and watching her arrange them into casual flower garden bouquets. She picks a few of this type and a few of that, some greenery for filler and like magic a $75.00 arrangement.
