In this moment, holiness surrounds you for God is reaching His arms out to hold you.
God bless you,

Changing Seasons
The other day I got a phone call that my eldery neighbor, of whom is 96, would be moving in with his family and then on to an assisted living facility. My neighbor and I have become close friends. He is like a grandfather to me.
Although I was sad to have him leave I am glad he is in a safe place and no longer living alone. I told him I would make sure the bird feeder outside in his yard is kept full of fresh food. I also told him I would visit the other neighbor's dog that went to my elderly neighbor's house across the street every day. He was more concerned about the dog and the birds than he was of himself.
At the same time I am getting ready to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday and then her high school graduation in June. She will be leaving for college to live at school in September, 2008. Although part of me is sad to have her grown up and leaving the nest soon, I am excited and happy for her. She is such a blessing and has enriched my life with overflowing joy.
Life can change in the twinkle of an eye. I am learning to focus on the present moment and wrap myself in God's joy. My eyes are learning to focus on the beauty all around me and be very grateful for all the precious gifts in my life. I go for several walks a day with my little dog and listen for the birds singing or listen to the snow crunching beneath my feet. Spring is here and the Spring birds have come back. We still have plenty of snow to melt but soon it will be time to plant flowers.
Each moment is a new beginning filled with hope and wonder. May we cherish the gift of the present moment and place it in the depths of our hearts. May we know that we are loved dearly by God and His angels. May we each know that there is a specific purpose for each person, each flower, each animal, each sunrise and sunset. May we wrap ourselves in God's joy and rest in His peace.
In God's blessings of light, love, peace and joy,
