Once again today we were entertained by Trixie the dog. She typically flops between laying in the sun to cool downing in the shade and then switching. This never ceases to make her owner laugh. Today the laughter was amped up because when she laid in the sun she was flat (as flat as a dog can get) on her back with her paws up in the air. It looked like she was tanning her belly. Too funny.
I've posted before how much I appreciate the prayers of the woman I stay with. She can't remember what she said a moment ago, but when we sit down to eat we immediately pause for her to pray. There is little variance in the prayer. As she closes it she asks God to "bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies and our bodies to thy service, amen." When I am 88 and unable to remember anything I want to remember that I am still in his service.
Nothing is wasted. My life is often messy: sometimes because of choices I've made and sometimes becuase life is just messy at times. No matter how the mess comes, one thing remains true: out of the mess comes my message.

About Me
- daisymarie
- I am 54 years old. I have been married for 32 years to one of the most incredible men on the face of the planet. Our journey hasn't been easy, but it's been rich in love, forgiveness, joy, and adventure. I'm learning daily that God really does have a plan for my life. I want to live into whatever that means...however it unfolds. I'm an ESFP with a healthy dose of ADD...I love to help people see how very incredible they are and how much love God wants to lavish on them!
