Snow
Today my girls and Hubby are away but later will be home!
Snow, Snow, Snow. ;-)
My life has been surrounded by SNOW.
Maybe because the Lord knew I LOVED it growing up along the Rockies in the MILE HIGH city!
Then I lived in the Northern burbs (not so northern any longer) and snow was always in our WINTERS. Since then a few "SNOWS" have drifted in Kent and my life while we were courting and through our marriage the past twenty two years. The most memorable one is . . .The ONE particular day (I still have a Rocky Mountain News with headlines about it) - OUR WEDDING Day when Denver was literally SHUT DOWN!!! Or the April Snow storm that hit on our way to Lansing Kansas in 1990?
Then lately well there have been a few but the two most recent have been the Ice Storm or 2007 and this years 2009 SNOW BLIZZARD CHRISTMAS ;-D WOW!
I still love SNOW but the cold is starting to effect my limbs so hummmmmm . . . . It is still is
B E A U TIFUL when it is falling, drifting down from the heavens. To hear laughter while sledding, to warm up with our homemade HOT CHOCOLATE, cuddle in blankets, make homemade bread and good chili or potato soup YUMMY!!!!
Yes, it is final . . . I still enjoy the SNOW! Because when I look out and see the pure white covering and know that we can BE TOGETHER warming one another's hearts; making more memories while raising the temperatures of our soul, it brings joy to me. It is just the beginning, an illumination with an internal glow to match the outer growth; life begins again. Like the cold melting away when we come in from being cold, we are "warmed up", we can be reflective of who lives with in us - the spirit of God, and then shine as bright as the SNOW! :-)
Just like He has wiped away our sins and covers us with HIS perfection - when we answer the call to follow HIM - we can be "as white as SNOW" and Holy like he is Holy - I definitely still enjoy and love SNOW!
Won't you be as bright as the snow?

healing & holiday hurray
It has been a full day but a wonderful day for the most part.
I thought after 24 hours free of flu bug . . . it bit again. Poor, poor Faithy.
Yep she was bitten by the yucky tummy flu bug. :-( yikes !!! Ouch!!!!
Have prayed for her and for Haddy not to get bitten. Okay healing is what we desire here before hitting anyone else. I know we will make it. Emily and Tia are much better now so they empathise with her. For now the family is being wonderfully working together all day.
They have made Haddy's birthday blissful. It is great to see them all so very excited to make this birthday special for her. Tia even mentioned that it was wonderful because, "Mom, it will no longer be Christmas Eve for us but Haddy's Birthday, a time for us to celebrate!" with a huge smile upon her face. I agree! We all reminisce about what last year was like awaiting her arrival. This year we were all in a wonderful spirit of Holiday Hurray Cheer!
Singing Happy Birthday from the moment we awoke until we all laughed along with her excitement of opening her cards, her gifts and then diving into her cake! Joy! Today has been wonderful just WONDERFUL! The Birthday Celebration, getting ready for the day and the time to make our traditional reindeer cookies for a very special visitor to enjoy (of coarse much later when we are all sleeping ;-D ). Also for us to just get to be together as a family! I LOVED seeing all of the girls together.
May you enjoy your time together like we have! Merry Christmas to all and to ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!

Oh no . . . . tummy flu go away!!!!
Wow . . . got through that flu season until 2:30 this morning and our first little girl was Hit and bad.
Tia . . . poor Teeg . . . Not a good morning. We miss read this one; thinking it was from too many sweets. Waken from a dead sleep to rushing up the stairs to try and comfort our precious daughter was the fastest I've ever been awaken I think.
After trying to comfort her we set up a room to set herself to sleep hopefully. ;-( Not happening. Tia ended up staying home today from her last day of school. I just prayed that no one else would get "bitten by the bug". We just received a phone call from where Em was "staying the night" at a friends to hear she was getting sick and they didn't see it coming until it was too late. ;-( Oh oh . . . We rushed like crazy to go and get her to bring her home to be comforted; only to get her home and she was quickly needing TLC and our ever only "princess bed" set up when sick or scared. Now we have two down and hopefully no OTHERS!!! Disinfection round three~ Operation KNOCK OUT here we come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pray for us to not have anyone else get "the bite in the tummy" especially Haddy since she is only days away from her first birthday.

a Friend
Today . . . cold but a sweet day!!!
Thanks to a phone call from a very special lady - friend, I was able to deliver a Christmas gift ON TIME!!! Thanks AC!!!
Well . . . Adriana has a place in my heart since working along side of her for a year and bonding in a way I will always treasure! She lives here in the states but grew up on Sao Paulo, Brazil. Where another special girl that lived with us in the late 90's is also from.
Well . . . I have been praying for Adriana and her husband Joseph for quite some time. They both are special to my heart for MANY reasons and today seeing her (your) B E A U TIFUL face again and quickly talking reminded me - how much I LOVE her among other special people. In Her room she had a special sink for our Kindergartners and every time I was there washing my hands with her scented Bath and Body soap, little does she know I would literally pray for her and her husband for multiple things. Every time I would wash or even smell that fragrance (Fig & brown sugar) I would pray for their home, families, and well personal things. Many things took place that year that I still sit in awe of!
We eventually; towards the end of the year, had every lunch together & came back to her room to eat together, discuss, laugh, be serious and sometimes I even surprised her with 3 cd's full of music from Brazil . . . which I still listen to even though I have NO IDEA what it is saying in Portuguese - Hahahahaha.
Well . . . a few years later, I found a similar fragrance that I love and thought of her for Christmas. I hoped that she may have a sink at her new building that she is located at, teaching first graders with her flare. :-) I wanted to go in on our last day of school before Christmas Break and share it with her. Thanks to a phone call last night I discovered that "Friday is her last day because she is going HOME" Which her family (parents and sister) live in Sao Paulo, it became necessary to stop by NOW before she left. Off we went . . . Kent took me over and waited very patiently while I delivered her pray bottled gift; :-) I was allowed in her room, handed her the gift and cried a few tears of JOY! She was even going over her morning routine which she had ready for them. It was sweet- memories of our 180 something mornings we shared together as staff. So now Adriana has that recent favorite fragrance (pomegranate) and every time I use the one in my home I will continue to pray for her and her husband in more ways than one while she has the same fragrance sitting in one of her rooms of her life!
A friend from Brazil, a friend for Life, and one - I pray for continually will some day be answered for all eternity! ;-)

The Wind
The wind blows wherever it pleases. I Love my memories of the effects of wind for the most part in my life; literally, figuratively and spiritually. A great mental photograph replay frequently in the deep recess of my past that may be somewhat dusty or filled with old cob webs. The Attic of my mind develops hues of unfocused thoughts but like in the dark room under the red light, chemicals, a pan, the "tongs", a line etc. all ready to reproduce the image. The effects, results are just absolutely breath taking and etched permanently; like the moment a picture shows up on the photo paper with an image.
What image or images? The wind . . . but one can not "see" it literally but feel the gentleness across the cheeks. The hair wafting along your face and the fragrances that go deeper than just the "smell" but into a canvas soaking up each stroke. Blow wind blow.
Forty minutes, on the inner state, music blaring, windows rolled down, the deep auburn hint of tint in the brunette curls slapping the face teasingly with laughter of what could be a moment of pure day dreaming. The air seems thinner as the altitude is climbing to Boulder Valley. Ahhhhh a pay phone (now but a snapshot of the past) just awaiting the immediate halt from the squealing braked tires creating a dust forming a film like a new applied paint coat to the tiny roller skate of a vehicle that used to look sky pale blue. A memory that began an incredible walk of life for me.
The climb past the waterfalls where the tiny breeze blows droplets across the face like a glistening mist to the point that one wonders if it is an imaginary film of a damp dew or perspiration from getting this far. The pine trees deep sent wave all about as the tree tops seem to sway with a rocking motion back and forth, back and forth, side to side almost hypnotic. The limbs bend while the wind gently blows as if waving like human arms swaying at concert during an on core during that concert. The wind whispers sweet messages to my soul, my thoughts, a time of being still to LISTEN to the wind.
What about the effects of a breeze like in a slow motion picture to create an ethereal almost magical moment that emphasises a point - again effects of the wind. Or how about a sauntering walk when the snow falls from the sky so gentle then when behind the wheel of an automobile everything turns into a picture perfect star burst when one is driving almost looking like being caught in a time travel event from sci-fi. Effects of the wind. Or how about dust devils so small that you giggle as a child and wonder. But when it turns into a twister the adrenaline rushes for safety. Again effects from and of the wind.
Lastly the effect of the Holy Spirit that has blown through my soul, every cell, me. The wind gentle when necessary and other times with huge tsunami effects. WOW!

December
December one of the most precious months of whimsical thrills and wonders.
I sit and know that God's word is living and very active! The time - eternity- through the Christ child born so long ago, means life forever for those who choose him. From the beginning of time we awaited, anticipated, and with eager expectation he came; the arrival of the Messiah over two thousand years ago . . . He was foretold about, he was here, he died, he was buried, and he arose and ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God! Yes - He is ALIVE.
Every December we recognize the birth of the child who is the redeemer for all mankind!!! Every December the true meaning of Christmas IS Jesus Christ living and for all those whom receive him, he is eagerly preparing a place for us to be with HIM forevermore! He is coming back to take his Bride. He is!
December gives me goosebumps. People open up and find there really is more to life than "stuff". They for a moment reach out to touch others in "giving". People find ways to "help the less fortunate". Humanity . . . cares for the ability to LOVE ONE ANOTHER! Look around . . . even the "Ebenezer Scrooges' " discover . . . LOVE sometime, because their icy hearts cave in to allowing others to love them. Consequentially they need to receive before they can GIVE. Everyone . . . YES EVERYONE desires to be loved. December holds the opportunity to accomplish that. Humanity was demonstrated the most ultimate LOVE GIFT in the form of a babe, born to two very simple young parents passing down that heritage of selfless love while obeying the LORD.
December thrills me to the core. My womb five times carried a child through this season of perpetual giving, and each time . . . whether early in pregnancy or ready to deliver; the Savior came to mind. Hadassah being our last . . . allowed me the opportunity to participate in a live nativity and then a mime moment of wonder through a song: "Breath of Heaven" - Amy Grant, only days before she was born and I to pondered the thought of Mary carrying our Savior - the Kinsmen Redeemer . . . AWE . . . Mary bore him knowing he was the Messiah. The thrill of such a priceless gift - YAHWEH gave it ALL in this God-Man, So that we may LIVE. He left Heaven to be born so that we may know him fully. Then the Lord allowed me to birth our last child close to the day we recognize HIM. Ahhhh, December.
December . . . beginning two days before all the way to the end of December . . . our family is surrounded by the reminder of LIFE. Emily, Faith, Hadassah and myself all have birthdays in (or around) December. Our Anniversary . . . Yep December. CHRISTmas!!! December.
And a dear friends birthday the 31st . . . the last day of the year - December!

Another Year
The moment the rays of light tried to play peek a boo . . . the sweet feet of one of the girls jumped into bed to greet me with a warm hug and kiss . . .
Another year of life has come and slowly slipped by and it reminds this heart of how sweet people are in life! Breath. "This is the air I breathe, this is the air I breathe" . . . just take another.
Only but a midst but worth every vapor.
Three very vital people in my life that has totally rescued me and revived this heart of mine to beat with a different strength. Strength to desire deep from with in the recesses of my soul to be granted another day to "WIN, WIN"! What? Win, win? Yes win, win.
On a very frigged night Sunday evening March 18, 1984 this cardiovascular muscle was radically operated on and transplanted from a physician that had incredible hands. Rough, firm, steady and calloused from being an incredible hard labor yet to the touch; soft, gentle, feathery light with the suppleness of a brand new infant baby's unblemished skin. The water chilly to the dermis while encompassing the unusual sense of warmth. The goosebumps rose but not from the bit of frost but from the internal heat surmounting almost bubbling to an inferno speed ready to erupt with unfathomable praise & speech. Breathe in, breath out. The smell . . . different, unthinkable but etched forever deep in the crevices of the mind. Life was just beginning that dark, cold and exuberant night. Eager to go to Yvonne's live in location; an elderly house cared employment to say THANK YOU for my spiritual journey to come to a point of no return. REBIRTH! It was uncontainable, refreshing - ADVENTUROUS. Who knew?
Then and now, it would be reflected with a deep sigh, smile and slow released tear of PRAISE to express my wonderfully grateful hearts beat of another year. Another year to listen to laughter, another year to endure incredible pain, another year to birth the miracle of life as a surprise on Christmas Eve no less,
another year to hold a hand, hug another, whisper a prayer, groan with anguish that ONLY the Holy Spirit could heal, cleanse and mend while interceding. Amazed that while in writhing laughter so hard that the muscles ached with the gut agony of pain through bellows of glee and the need for oxygen trying not to hyperventilate, loose all vocal abilities or bladder control. Another year to speak freely, trying desperately to manage to HOLD the tongue, be vivacious with spirit or simply curl up and sequester the soul in pure silence. ANOTHER YEAR - praise be to the LORD.
Yes Tia, I love you, your sisters and Daddy with all my heart and deep "from the bottom of my LIVER!" ;-D He granted me one more year, and another day to awake and smile freely through every look, touch, smell, taste and listen with an ear to hear.
Thank You dear Abba! I really don't deserve another nano second let alone another day but Thank You for ONE more YEAR that has made the many you've breathed life into me on that December first morning! My muscles ache for you as I eagerly step into the beginning of another year loving those whom you've granted me to be with to grow. I know you'll ALWAYS be here another year along side of me - hold my hand please while you keep transforming this heartbeat to your rhythm.
