I desire to be in the mist of a cool breeze with the ocean spray cooling me. I asked my husband if we could get away to The Coastal Carolinas for an up and coming weekend. It would be so wonderful. I have a need to smell the water and the clean air.
Have anyone ever noticed that it is normally the people who don't know how to swim that loves the water (smile)? Well I'm one of those people. I love water, but I can't swim a lick:). With the gas prices soaring, we've decided to cancel some of our trips for the Summer, but there are 3 major ones that are on our list. I am so glad that one of them will be the coastal area.
My Father is doing so well. I sure hope that he will be able to come home sooner than I have expected. I know that he will be glad because he talks about it often. The Lord is more than wonderful. There have been rocky waters, but things could have been worse and I have no complaints. Often when we complain, we see and / or hear conversations of other people's lives that make our complaints so trivial. . . . so I am learning to stop my complaining and thank the Lord regardless of my situations. Just give all my troubles to him and move on.
Besides. . .We often bring things on ourselves by not listening and harking to the voice of God. I'm learning that things are never that much greener on the other side:). We often want to imagine that it is, but it's not especially where the Lord is concerned. Sometimes I say to myself that my husband has all the elements of what I prayed for except this or except that. . . .but when I stop to really analyze his exceptions, I see that I am stronger in that particular area and my husband is stronger in my weaker areas. So I am going to stop trying to portray the Mz. Perfect:) and just work on my own short comings. . .
God Bless You!
