Last evening right before sunset. DH and I looked across the field and there were hundreds of different hawks sitting on the ground all facing west. DH and I have seen this once before years ago. I got Mom and showed her so she could see what we saw.
It was so amazing and then one by one they began flying up and landing in the same tree at the edge of our woods. I said, maybe they gather like that to worship God. Just a neat thought. But it is such an amazing thing to witness. Thank you Lord for all your beauty that you allow us to see.

NHWM- what a sweet neighbor. There are a few peopl I know making masks as well and giving them out. That too is a sweet thing to do.

mystery- there is amazing beauty in thunderstorms even though they are scary to me.

Earlybird- yay on the tp. people here have stopped being crazy over the tp you can get it everywhere again.

Shell- I always love your counting of blessings, so much.




Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
Psalms 111:1-4

Smeshque,

Hawks are beautiful birds in flight. Hawks and eagles are amazing birds.

We sing a song, On Eagles Wings in church. It’s really pretty. I love it. Do you know it? It’s on YouTube. Beautiful lyrics and melody.

Happy Easter! Happy Passover and to non believers, happy spring.

I am grateful that our beautiful historic St. Louis Cathedral televised a beautiful Easter Mass. I watched it with my husband.

We are so grateful for our beautiful daughters. If I may ask all of you for a special prayer today, I would appreciate it if you would join me. My oldest daughter is struggling. She had UC which has developed into full blown chron’s disease.

Her ulcers are acting up. Her doctors are concerned about them being very close to her appendix. They do not want to admit her back into the hospital due to the active Covid cases. She is at higher risk of complications due to her diabetes and so on.

Anyway, they want to monitor her condition in a clinic which isn’t treating any Covid cases.

Could I please impose on all of you to join me in prayer for healing, relief and protection for my daughter during this time?

I would appreciate your prayers so much. Thank you.

It’s so hard not to be able to be near her physically in her time of need. She is 31 years old but will always be our sweet little girl. I know all of you who are parents will understand this sentiment.

I am very grateful that Jesus died for us and risen for us to.
I am thankful that the Lord has blessed me in so many ways. Today is a new beginning...new things growing while other things die off and for that I am thankful. I am also grateful for the Lord's love for me. I know times are hard and scary, but the Lord is with me and all HIS children. I am thankful for all the wonderful people on this forum. Thank You Lord for Your mercury and grace and for giving me courage, wisdom, and peace in these uncertain times.

God bless everyone. Happy Easter everybody!🐇🐥

MercyMe - God With Us -

Who are we
That You would be mindful of us
What do You see
That's worth looking our way
We are free
In ways that we never should be
Sweet release
From the grip of these chains
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us
Lord You know
Our hearts don't deserve Your glory
Still You show
A love we cannot afford
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at Your feet
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay this at Your feet
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
My debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us

"Better Word"

Your blood is healing every wound
Your blood is making all things new
Your blood speaks a better word

Your blood, the measure of my worth
Your blood, more than I deserve
Your blood speaks a better word
Speaks a better word

It's singing out with life
It's shouting down the lies
It echoes through the night
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word
Speaks a better word

Your blood, a robe of righteousness
Your blood, my hope and my defense
Your blood forever covers me
Forever covers me

It's singing out with life
It's shouting down the lies
It echoes through the night
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word
Speaks a better word

It's calling out my name
And it's breaking every chain
It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word
Speaks a better word
Yes, it does
Yes, it does

It's re-writing my history
It covers me with destiny
It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ

It's re-writing my history
It covers me with destiny
It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ

It's re-writing my history
It covers me with destiny
It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ
It's re-writing my history
It covers me with destiny
It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ

It's singing out with life
It's shouting down the lies
It echoes through the night
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word
Speaks a better word

It's calling out my name
And it's breaking every chain
It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word
Speaks a better word

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word
Speaks a better word

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's making all things right
The precious blood of Christ
Speaks a better word

Finally found some sanitizer today.
Mom is taking a well needed rest this afternoon, did not sleep a wink until around 4 am, and that means I was up too.
Niece and brother playing basketball for the first time this year with their masks on. Took some photos.

Shell and Earlybird,
Wish I knew, but I do not know anything.

I just commented on another post about my Whine for Today, which is all about my First World Hair Appointment Issue. No blow dryers, and I have to wear a mask for the entire appointment. BooHoo to me!! My stylist agreed to just do a haircut, instead of the entire Nine Yards with highlights, lowlights, cut....cha CHING... $250 bucks. I'll save a couple hundred for another month and just get a haircut, since my roots are dirty blonde; the high and low lights are just for extra bling. Again, this is my biggest problem today; I feel blessed. Yesterday was another story, and tomorrow might not be as easy, but today I feel blessed.

Cody Carnes - Run To The Father

I've carried a burden
For too long on my own
I wasn't created
To bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go

Yeah I see it now
I'm laying it down
And I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh

You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
And I don't have a context
For that kind of love

I don't understand
I can't comprehend
All I know is I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
And I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
And I know I need You now

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
And my heart found a surgeon
My soul found a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh
Again and again

Mother had an appointment with her neurologist today via Telehealth. Explained to Neuro my mother seems to be Sundowning around 6pm and into the night a few times during the week. Doctor confirmed it, and put her on Ativan 0.5 mg every night if needed. Worked like a charm tonight, quiet and peaceful. Sleeping sound, and it is 9pm. So grateful my mom is comfortable.

We were blessed with much appreciated sunshine today, after lots and lots of rain.

And I was excited to see my first tomato babies earlier this week.

I thank the Lord for all the blessing each and everyday some that we are mindful of, and some we take for granted.



I pray we all grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And hunger and thirst for Him.

Almost Home
MercyMe
Are you disappointed
Are you desperate for help
You know what it's like to be tired
And only a shell of yourself
Well you start to believe
You don't have what it takes
'Cause it's all you can do
Just to move much less finish the race
But don't forget what lies ahead
Almost home
Brother it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister run wild, run free
Hold up your head
Keep pressing on
We are almost home
Well this road will be hard
But we win in the end
Simply because of Jesus in us
It's not if but when
So take joy in the journey
Even when it feels long
Oh find strength in each step
Knowing heaven is cheering you on

I was blessed by a great sermon this morning on our church's livestream, the latest in a sermon series on hope. Perfect timing! The pastor referenced this wonderfully heartening scripture, Romans 15:13:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Blessed with cooler weather. Thank you Lord.
I fear it will be a scorching summer.
Thank the Lord everyone is doing well.
And for all his creatures we get to enjoy.
But mostly the Jesus came and died for us.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
