    Stan is one of the three year olds that is always getting into something.  While the other children are singing, he is aimlessly walking around the classroom trying to blow the lights out.

    My DH used to coach T-ball and he always remembers this one little guy Kono. Kono would always be way out in the field making little sand piles......

    Barbe, when my youngest played t-ball, he was so ADD he had no clue what was going on.  He played outfield and did not even know other's were on the field playing--he was staring up at the sky, playing with the grass, etc.  The funniest thing was when he "hit" a grand slam.  There was so many errors every one scored. 

    On our way over to the beach today before we walk in the SGK tomorrow, we listened to a new Gaither's cd we got at Cracker Barrel.  I broke down and cried listening as I remember about two years ago going through all this stuff.  I am so thankful to God for getting me thru all this.

    I saw this yesterday.  It reminds me that no matter how bad we think our circumstances are, God has a plan for us, and we can make it through what we are going through.

    We should be like that little tree and cling to Our Rock.

    In that small space where the little tree was growing (the cleft) is where I was during my chemo treatments that I was so allergic to.  Like the hymn, Rock of Ages, I was able to "hide myself in Thee."

    No, i am just "the mom".  I can't afford to fly there right now because my employer would not give me leave, I would be going without pay for the time.  There is a seargent from USAF who is supposed to go with him.  Matt isn't really thrilled because the man has a garbage mouth.  If Matt makes a big deal of it, this guy might not give him the care he needs.  I need this guy to call me with updates, so I hope all will be well.

    I hope you ladies don't mind me hopping in to say hello. This is my one year anniversary week (blech), and I struggle with coming to this website as I am not sre if I find it helpful or sad as I see friends struggling. I have been visiting this particular thread quietly and have recieved SO much comfort this past year. The pictures with the passages warm my soul and today I saw the picture of the little tree growing in the rock and it brought tears to my eyes. We all have to find our quiet strength don't we?

    I visited Red River Gorge State Park in KY last week with my kids and went rock climbing. We walked through some scenery that was breathtaking. I found tons of beautiful wildflowers that I took pictures of to post here to share but unfortunately my pathetic camera did not capture the beauty of what I saw. Researching it later I found out that the particular trail we were on was well known for its variety of wildflowers! So maybe I will become a better phographer soon and until then know that all of you have touched my heart.

    Welcome, Geewhiz.

    I agree with Jo, the uplifting threads are where I frequent, but sometimes, I just get pulled to the others.  In particular, I went through a few months of supporting a "Not diagnosed" woman, who was struggling trying to get the BX ond LX.  It seems like I was just supposed to encourage her, unfortunatly she confided that she was agnostic, and I confided that no matter what I would continue to pray for her.  She has since had her LX and no longer had need for us here, but I hope that my encouragement might change her way of thinking.  Perhaps, I planted a seed in the crevice of a rock.

    Very beautiful !!

    However, let's remember that some folks do not share our religious preferences. Let's make this thread open to all who wish to contribute. There is beauty in all cultures and in all religions.

    Meece...I keep forgetting to tell you how much I enjoyed the tree picture in the rock.

    It's very meaningful.

    Here I said it before I forgot again.!

    Thank you.

    DH gets frustrated with me sometimes, because I lose track of what is going on, and I literally focus on tiny details around me.  I took three of four pics of that tree until I got it just right.

    Thanks JO

    Quick story. I was talking with a client of mine who has a young daughter going through a rough time with a blood problem. Anyways, I mentioned that I would pray for them. The morning of her big doc. appointment I spoke with the Mom and told her that I was running late that morning but I did send up a prayer while I was grabbing my shower. She looked at me like I lost my mind.
    Is it wrong to pray in the shower? I don't think so, heck I pray when ever I find the time. Yes my favorite is on my knees but sometimes time doesn't permit. I've prayed in line at the bank, on my way to the mail box, even when cleaning house. I don't think He minds as long as I am sincere in my prayers.

    Rajkumari, I am glad you like this thread.  I am but the tool. Our Father has made such wonderful and beautiful things for us here on earth, I am happy to have this "canvas" to showcase what I have seen.

    Can you only imagine, the beauty of what we see here, what will we experience in Heaven?

    My car is one of the most common places I pray.  Alone as I commute, I also can commune with Him.  Shower, been there, prayed there.  In bed...In my kitchen...in my yard...Rocking babies...

    I think that if we were to be restricted to how and where we pray, God might have a lot less to listen to.
