DO YOU LOVE ME?

Sometimes in the RUSH of life, I forget to stop and acknowledge the most important aspect of my finite life.  It's not intentional. It's not planned. It would be too easy to "BLAME" the void with excuses of WHY I left The Lord out of my day.  But, I haven't any excuses that are valid.  I can't explain it away other than to say I didn't.  What will I say when I meet Him face-to-face?  No statement will be good enough!  

This was in a devotional that I received today.  It spoke to my heart.  

Did you think of Me today,
Did you take the time to pray,
Do you love Me?

Did you share Me with someone,
In your life is there a song,
Do you love Me?

Is there peace in your soul,
Have you given Me control,
My commands did you obey,
Do you love Me?



Lord - Please forgive me for my insensitivity.  I'm so glad you don't treat me the same way.  Help me to focus on the important things of life and to ignore the finite.  I love you.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED

The Keys
WAHOO!!!
Today was signing day.  Whew!  We are now homeowners. There are so much going on this week, we can't move until next week.  Charles doesn't want to take off any more time from work.  So, moving date is March 16.  The POD is being delivered on 15th.  His stuff unloaded and my stuff moved on that Saturday.  Then the job to find everything.   

I could never express the appreciation or afford to pay Julie and Holli for all the work they have done.  It is amazing that they have not only made things easier but "OH" so beautiful.  

This will be the first time I've lived in a house since we sold ours in 2003.  I have missed it in some ways; in some ways an apartment is more convenient.  This is a new phase for both of us.  God is so good; all the time.  We are blessed.

MOVING HAS BEGUN

Charles has moved the remainder of his stuff into a POD, and is staying with me. There is a final walk through on Wednesday of this week.  Next Wednesday, he will sign the paperwork and we can begin to move.  That is IF all goes well.
Front

I'm excited and tired.  Just the sheer "thinking" is overwhelming to me.  I have some pain right now and I can't seem to shake it so it makes it hard for me to do anything helpful with the move.  My friend Mary is helping all she can, but she travels quite a lot so her time is limited. She goes 90 mph and gives 110% of her energy.  Vicki has helped, and Mock, when he can, has also helped.  I hope this is my last EVER move.
Kitchen

Ween is "on edge" at all the boxes.  She knows SOMETHING is happening. She is anxious and "dancing" around; very hard to calm. She will be okay when we move, but all the proceedings are giving her anxiety.

Daily activities keep me busy - dr, store, shots, PTINR (blood checks), etc. The weather is a little chilly right now; below 65 and I am freezing. Ween doesn't go out as much when it is cold or raining, but she watches the birds and squirrels carefully to make sure they don't come near our yard.  Another day; another job to do.  I can hardly wait to move.
