Too Random to Name

As days, weeks and months go sliding by

As dawn and sunset light the sky

My head turns fast, I heave a sigh.....

Why, time must you so quickly fly?

September is filled to the brim with birthdays in our family and friends.  So we celebrate in one way or another one birthday after another.  Actually, when you have a family as large as ours, there doesn't seem to be a month without birthdays.

I won't name them since I'd surely forget someone and that would be disaster!  

My life is so blessed with family and friends.....both old and new.

Some friends that I have only known a couple of years are special to me and called to ask me to come to a piano recital for four of their children.  I was excited to go hear these kids play, not expecting much since they have only been taking lessons for a year.

They were all great.  I enjoyed their recital so much and appreciated them asking me to come.....I'm not near my grandchildren and they're not near their grandparents, so it did us both good.

My Iphoto isn't cooperating with me so this post will be pictureless!

Since I started watching Hoarders, I've cleaned out three closets and my computer desk.  My husband is so glad I started watching that show.  It scares me to think I'm just one piece of paper away from turning into a hoarder.  I may have exaggerated a little bit or a lot.  But those people had to start somewhere.

Hunting season and football season....just a bit much.

One of mama's good friends at the retirement center is very near death.  When someone there dies, they put the flag at half staff.  I didn't realize that I was holding my breath today turning in until I actually saw that the flag was standing tall!  So glad. It's hard on everyone there when one dies.

I've been thinking a lot about how decisions and actions made and done when we're younger have life long consequences.   As an older person I think I watch the younger people and want to scream out....No, don't do that....you'll have to live with it all your life.  Then I realize that everyone has to make mistakes and learn in their own way.

There are times when I watch my children doing things that are going to have lasting consequences and although I have learned for the most part to keep my mouth quiet, my heart still aches for them and those that are affected by their decisions.

When those thoughts begin to take root, I try to stop and remember Philippians 4:8

Tomorrow is the Lord's day and I will be glad and rejoice in it!  :)
