I drag myself to the coffee maker

As the rest of the house drags themselves

Out from the dark rooms that are now penetrating with rays of sunlight

Playdate With God ~ Poolside

This week seemed to be full of mishaps from the gate.

But... the Lord never lets me down. Even in the mess of life and all the mishaps that happen one can find a simple play date and quiet moment with the Lord. And that is just what I did. It may not have been as easy as I like; but we found that quiet still moment when I can just sit and be in His presence. Even in a noise messy week where voice's and life is happening faster than I can keep up with. Praise the Lord for these stolen moments together to hear His soothing voice speak to my heart and mind bringing calm and peace to my crazy life.

I had headed up to the pool one evening expecting to find loads of children playing and splashing while parents watched on. But... not this evening. It was a still quiet night at the pool. Not one child nor parent to be found; nor did any wander up.

So I sat and sat, with dangled feet in the pool as the stillness and the quiet surrounded me; that the Lord had offered this late afternoon early evening.

As I sat I looked around and listened and wondered why it was so still for me at this pool side when it is usually full of laughter and joy of children and families sharing family times together.

As time ebbed away I just sat as the late afternoon Summer breeze brushed across my face. It was as though Lord was kissing me and telling me everything is going to be okay my child, I'm here with you. You are not alone.

Then I noticed the life preserver hanging on the fence. Hmmm..... Jesus is my life preserver!

Then I saw the hook and net.

Yes!

He will hook me up and draw me in as a sheep that has fallen. Use His net to fish me when I drowning.

I'm His and He wont let me fall with out picking me up. He wont let me drown when the waters feel like they are over taking me. He is my life preserver.

He said He would never leave me. He would walk this with me.

He sent His son.

He left His comforter.

I am not alone!

Reach up and look up.

For He has given me everything I will ever need and more.

As I sat at the pool side and listened and watched with amazed eyes and wonder.

It is going to be okay!

He has worked out every detail and is walking side by side with me.

He has given me this peace and shown me rest in a place that is usually filled with laughter and joy.

But... tonight with His sweet presence to show me He is God!

Through the tools of the pool.

Thank you Lord for showing me your perfect love near the still waters.

NKJV

Job 19: 25-27

For I know that my redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;And after my skin is destroyed, this I know That in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another.How my heart yearns within me!

So this weeks prompt is:

POETRY PICNIC WK 2 : The Kiss

The first kiss of

Stolen moments of innocents 

Lovely tender moments

Gentle butterfly kisses

Lips so soft and tender

As a soft fragrant rose petal

In mid Summer's day

Awkward moments of 

First experience linger 

Of the first kiss

Simple beauty so genuine

Full of emotions and passions unknown

The look that says

Yes!

Twinkle and giggles of sure pleasure

Dreams and hopes of the next captured kiss

Innocents held in the soft gentle kiss

Of the one's first love

~Beth~

Do you have fond memories of your first kiss?

More of Silver Falls, Oregon

A walk through the park

Is the happiness I feel

As I stroll hand in hand with my Lord

The joyfulness's

The happiness

As a child at play

While running and playing among the trees

The beauty engulfs me

The peace that comes from the tranquil beauty

Hand painted by my Lord

The beauty of nature

Brings such goodness to a soul

The beauty and peace

So rich in His love

Each moment

A sweet breathe of His love to me

~Beth~

Turns into a tiny new life

That will bind us forever

This tiny life

That is you and me

A romance of a life time

This Summer love

365 Days Of Pictures ~Day 186

This photo along with many others that I will be sharing in the days ahead where taken on my hike at Silver Falls, up by Salem, Oregon.

I was only able to hike a portion of it.

I missed four of the major Falls.

Gives me a good reason to go back and do some more hiking.

I love going for hikes.

I really wasn't prepared for this one.

But...

I will be next time.

Peaceful Walk

Do you like to go on hikes?

Tears

Tears

Tear stained cheeks

Burn with a heart that is broken

From a lost love

As I sit here

I think

Tears flow

I listen

To the music of the love

I once knew

That is now lost

I try to find it

As the tears trickle down

They cover me

In the sorrow and pain

Of the love I lost

Tears flow

As the memories wash over me

I wish things were different

But time has ebbed away

Seconds into minutes

Minutes into hours

The days into months

The months turn into years

The tears flow

They have turned into the

Seconds, minutes

Hours, and days

That have turned into the passing years

The loss so deep

A stinging pain cut deep within

Tears flow

I wonder

Where has the time gone

I just want to catch one minute

Hold tight the love

As the flood of tears wash over me
The sting of the stain
Upon the lost love

I hang onto each memory

As though it was the last

Tears trickle down

Hanging on to the dream of the love
That once was

Praying it wont fade away

A memory no more

The tears in my heart ache

With pain that is daunting

Nothing will subside it

As the tears flow from the heart

Drenching the tear stained cheeks

~Beth~

Do you have memories that cause you to sit and cry and remember times gone by wishing they were still here?

Up ~ Date On Fall

Thursday was a very full and crazy day.
I went and spoke with management before I left for Salem about the fall I took on the property and make sure they had received all the communication that I had left from the night of the fall. Yes! they did!
So on to Salem to take my test so I could get my license for cosmetology. That didn't go so well. I didn't have the right identification. So I will be going back on Monday to get the licence and take the test! Bummer!
So then I tried to eat something. Not so easy. I had a small bit of soup and milk shake. I guess I will loss  a lot of weight this way. Then off to the dentist then after wards to the ER. Oh what a very long day. I have to go back to dentist on Wednesday nest week. Not good with the teeth. My hand is messed up with serve muscle and tissue bruising. Not good for a hairdresser. Cervical to the neck from falling face first . Huge clown nose fat lip. Not a beauty for sure NOW! Laughing as I cannot think of anything else to do. Pain is bad. I will be picking up all three prescriptions tomorrow and looking for a lawyer. Oh what fun! Still need to get my glasses taken care of as well.  They really got all scratched up and arm whacked out. All this over the darn side walk. As I have up dates i will let you know. Please pray. I'm hoping this will go smoothly and that they will pay for this medical and dental work as my hubby is concerned with all the trouble we have had here. Thank you for your continued and on going prayers and love of encouragement.

Finger Print Friday ~ Silver Falls Water Reflections

Fingerprint Friday

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of god
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of god
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of god
So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them? Here's how to join in.

1. Blog with your interpretation of God's fingerprints. Be sure to link back Beki over at The Rusted Chain  http://www.blog.therustedchain.com/  so others can find the entire list of participants!
2. After you've posted your blog, sign the Linky below. Have fun exploring the other links as well! Please only sign in if you're participating. Hopefully this will make us look at things through fresh eyes throughout the week!

When on my hike this past Sunday at Silver Falls, I got some really awesome shots of the refection's in the water of the trees and sky.

I was truly amazed at the capture of beauty I got on the camera.

I love them all and couldn't pick out one of my favorites at all.

The beauty of the reflection is so amazing to me.

The light, color shades of beauty!

Just shows the amazing handy work and shades and colors of beauty that the Lord has created for us.

Nothing better than going out into the world of beauty around us and seeing all the Lord has blessed us with daily in His creation.

NKJV

Psalms 75:1

We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

Where Are All The Children?

Where are all the children

The laughter

The tears

All the chatter

All the fighting

Where all the the children

The playing

The sleeping

All the make believe

All the dreams in slumber land

Where are all the children

The little miracles

The future of our tomorrows

All the wonders of ourselves

All the dreams I didn't fulfill

Where are all the children

All the love of all the children

This poem was wrote in the early 80's. I don't have the exact date of write on this paper.

But I know I do somewhere. As I had made several copies of this poem.

It is a poem I wrote for my daughters when they where with their father.

As you see I had great pain and loss during this time period of my life.

Writing was very therapeutic to me.
It still is.

My home felt so empty without the girls in it.

My arms the love I longed for.

The love I felt I was missing out on.

I still think of that pain and loss still today at times.

Time that can never be re-captured.

Thank you Lord for showing me and filling me with the Love that only you can give.

For your healing and restoration.

Thank you for the love of my daughters and the grandchildren.

My arms and home will never be empty because of the love you have given me.

Each one fills me with much joy and happiness.

Thank you for these gifts and miracles of life and love.

My daughters and each grandchild that fills my heart to over flowing!

Have you had moments of emptiness's that you couldn't bare?

Fall On August 24, 2011 (Face Dive)

Face dive on the cement yesterday! Oh the pain is unbelievable! My teeth hurt so much. They were shoved up into the gums. I will need to see a dentist for sure. My left hand is so swollen I can hardly use it. The pain I'm in today in horrible. I will be reporting in person the accident to the management. I did send email called left voice message, as well as dropped a note in the mail drop with pictures so that they know what happened since it happened after hours. It happened around 6:30-6:45 pm in the evening thank goodness for great neighbors! I have given a written complaint about this area before.My girlfriend has fallen here as well. I feel like I jinxed myself. Oh well! praise the Lord I will heal. Its my mouth and teeth I'm most concerned about. Prayers are needed. Thank you for you prayers love and encouragement. I will keep you all posted. AS I tried to eat last evening and I cannot . I may loss lots of weight this way. Not the way i would like too. I m so grateful that I didn't break any bones and that my nose didn't turn both eyes black and blue. Such a beauty! So when I get back from Salem today I will have the wonderful job of finding a dentist and some help on this fall. My thought is when you fall don't fall on cement and slide across it with your face. And if you think I look bad you should see the other guy! Trying to have a great sense of humor over this.
