Why not choose to look for all the good things that happen today. Nothing negative.... Just keep your eyes open and watch for goodness to occur!

The Face

In the ministry one knows that the FACE is important to keep smiling for those who are weak, fearful and in doubt about all sorts of issues in their own lives.  Sometimes people can get insecure by 'reading' the Pastor's wife's face wrong!    Folks have a tendency  to think everything  is about them..... and not about your own life. So it's important to 'smile awhile and give your face a rest.... or rather 'smile a while and give their hearts a rest'....

Recently I suffered a Facial accident  which for a time will leave me with a slightly red swollen lip!  Really God spared me as it could have been REALLY bad!    But I smile anyway and watch people's eyes go immediately to my lip!  Without knowing the miracle it looks like I've had surgery for a cleft palate!

I was moving boxes (hubby was also moving boxes along with the Gkids) and a very sharp short sword (one of my husbands collections of swords)  got moved to a top shelf --- so the Gkids couldnt hurt themselves.  

I didn't realize this and reached up to move the stuff on that very shelf.   The sword came down and hit me in the mouth.  It sliced my upper lip and pierced my lower lip. - almost knocked me out.  Long story short.....lots of blood - butterfly bandages - lots of sorrys - and life calmed back down.  

Moral of the story is --- don't reach above your head into shelves that you may find surprises tumbling down on you! 

Very very thankful to know that this accident could have been so bad and this is all that happened.  God is good! 

So I'm smiling.... yes the humor of it all is funny now - although at the time I was not.  No one knows the story - so they assume... which makes me smile more!

Autumn turns every leaf into a flower of change.

I have learned to recognize that the Fall of the year is a time of seasonal change for me.  We have had major changes always happen  in the Autumn of the year.  Looking forward to what happens this Fall!  Both the good and the bad have always worked out for our good.... because of the promise of God's Word.   I'm looking forward to the cooling breeze, falling leaves, rich colors and the crisp air of change!  It's my favorite time of the year.
