Thankful Thursday - Water

Without Water

There would be

No baths

No fishing

No boating
No swimming
No bubbles
No tears
No rain
No life!

No you
No me

This thankful Thursday is being posted a day early (it's never too early to be thankful)! Our family is visiting with out of state relatives and preparing for a burial. Thanks so much for visiting. I will be making my rounds shortly. Miss you guys! Take care & God bless!

Thankful Thursday - Communication

I saw her gazing at the clouds, but not like I do, in wonder, more like she wanted an answer to her pain. It caused me to reflect on the blessings of so many true and reliable friends I have. When my heart is overflowing with pain I can go to our father who created the skies and all under, and/or I can vent to my friends. Talking to a friend soon makes your problem seem much easier to deal with. Thankfully, we have communication. Could you imagine living in a world where we had none or worse yet, a world without God who moves mountains and clouds? :-)

Lift your voice to be heard
Express yourself, share the word
Lift your pen, share your feelings
Open up and feel the healing
Of all the words I have heard
Few are as pretty as a bird 
Not all words are soft and sweet
Life is not always upbeat.


I saw her face staring at the sky
I saw the tears, I caught her eye
I looked away lest she feel bad
I could see her eyes so red and sad
I wanted to say I've a listening ear
But was afraid to draw near
I've lived awhile, there's lots I've heard
To think all’s good would be absurd.
But sharing pain casts it in two
Half for me and half for you
Lift your voice and share your feelings
Open up and feel the healing.

Don't forget to be thankful and have a blessed week.
