A Mini Post: Psalm 8:4 Who is man that You are mindful of him?

 Hello There!

Surprise! Here is a mini-post! A funny thing happened this morning as I was reading my daily devotionals. In Tozer on the Holy Spirit, I read about being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and following His leading. Then, while reading today's passage from Healing After Loss, I felt led to share it with you. Hence, here I am popping into your email today!

The author mentioned that many of us find "peace of heart and mind" by gazing at the ocean. He reminded us that while we may not always have that opportunity, God created the sky for us as well. We can find just as much comfort in that.

Whenever I was in New Mexico, I used to say, "When I go back to San Diego, I'll go to the ocean and find comfort and healing." But on my last trip, I could not bring myself to gaze upon the sight that Daddy loved so much. When I went home, I thought, I'll just go to the beach next time.

Today I realized that even when I am inland, I still have a vast "ocean" to find comfort in. No matter where we are, we always have the beautiful sky to gaze upon. To do so, however, we must look up, not down. When we look at God's wondrous creation in the heavens and find comfort, we also find Him—the One who has our names engraved on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16), collects our every tear in His bottle, and records each one in His book (Psalm 56:8).

So, let's look up today!  Even through our pain, grief and tears, we can find His comfort.

Hello There!

Thank you for stopping by! Whether you are enjoying summer or a completely different season across the globe, I hope you are staying comfortable. Here in Southern New Mexico, the heat is no joke. I’ve been fleeing the heat by going indoors by 10:00 AM, stepping out only for my absolute favorite things: my reading and fiber arts groups.  Well, I also step out for my responsibilities like medical appointments and purchasing fresh produce. I’m drinking so much water I feel like my eyeballs are floating!

 Hello There!  

Wow, it has been two whole weeks since my last post! I honestly thought I’d be blogging while in San Diego, but we were just too busy making memories. From exploring local gems with Mama—complete with a perfect afternoon sharing cheesecake at her home—to discovering new spots with my DH, we completely immersed ourselves in the local scene.

 Hello There,

Welcome!  I hope you've had a fabulous week!  I wanted to share a couple of blogging tips I've learned the hard way.  I've lost so much time when I somehow make the post/s I'm working on disappear.  Now I regularly create a backup for these posts as I'm writing them.

Perhaps some of you work on your phone and computer as you write your posts.  Make sure to close your posts before you use your other devices.  Otherwise, the post might disappear.  Ask me how I know.

Hello There,

    Welcome!  I hope you are doing well today!  This past week was so busy! I had a couple of gatherings with friends and a few doctor appointments. The friends were fun; the doctors... not so much.
