March 18, 1925 to August 7, 2012 Life on this Earth and now she continues the journey in the arms of our Lord

MY MOTHER , MY FRIEND,  MARCH 18, 1925 - AUGUST 7, 2012..
Words I can not speak, words do not come, words are just a motion, words unspoken, words of  LOVE  I
can not express because the pain of  loss is just too great..  I Love you Mother,

Have I been sleeping?

I can not believe how long it has been since I have posted. NO....I have not been sleeping.!!!!!!!!
 I have been busy with the every day of Life..Things have been changing..Life is rearranging .  Some days are good and some days so not. Yet God is always there with me.  My Mom has gotten worse..She takes up most of my days and nights..Some days she seems like her self and then days like a little girl that has to be told to do everything..I suppose I am tired and a little sad and sometimes angry.. Anger is such a terrible thing and it takes away your joy..So I just try to give it to God and ask for peace and now I ask for patience.  I must learn so I am like these tiny bird eggs..I sit and wait to see what will happen. One day I will break through all the troubles and sorrows and be broken open and filled with joy and peace..I just have to have Faith and Trust.

Sorry I have been gone so long and not posting and not saying hello but I think of all of you guys out there from Alabama to Washington to California to New Mexico  Florida to New York and  also around the world..
May God Bless you and keep you close..

The Shepherd does it For Love

I am but one single sheep but I am not afraid. Why because I know my Shepherd. I know his voice and I listen to his voice. Did you know  the Good Shepherd calls his sheep by name.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even thought I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Are you a lost sheep? Are you looking for green pastures and quiet waters that will restore you.
There is a Great Shepherd looking for you and He comes to guide you and protect you. Only one person can walk with us through death's dark valley and bring us safely to the other side.It is the God of life, our shepherd.
The Great Shepherd our Lord and Savior Jesus.  He knows you by name.

The Joy of Rain Drops

Rain Drops..The joy of watching the rain and when more rain hits the water how it splashes into Fun .
I had to pull over because it was raining and You know we start to grumble because we are human. Then I pulled my camera out and starting to take some shots of the rain.. It was just like being as a child it was fun. Did you ever run out in the rain and just dance until you were soaking wet and then run back into the house..Freezing and shaking and listen to your Mom saying I told you to stay out of that rain..You will catch a cold or be struck by lightning..That was my Mom anyway...LOL... Yet we did not regret one moment of that dance.
This time I saw it in a different light..It was a joy but it was more the beauty of the dance. How the drops splashed and danced upon the water . How they looked like crowns when they splashed up..Truly amazing..The rain comes down from heaven. Abba, Father, Thank you for the rain.. Teach me how to dance.

May you Dance in the Rain with the heart of a child again..And Laugh out Loud...

Do you take the time to stop and just enjoy the beauty of things that surround.

 I do not have a lot of days that I have to my self but when I do..I try to go to a place I have never been even if it is only a few miles away from my home...Somewhere I go and take my camera and capture the simply things that most do not even notice. I love the small things and the simple things that have beauty..I know they say the beauty is in the eyes of the bolder.. So these things to me are beauty..Hand made by an artist from the past..



Another simple but beautiful  piece..Hand forged by an artist from the past.. Rusted and forgotten. The rust  has made the piece that more beautiful. It brings out the smallest of details. .


 
So another piece of beauty..  Another artist that used their hands to mold and carve this piece.. Old and forgotten now.   So I suppose you know I am walking the local cementary..It is a peaceful place with trees and flowers and artists from the past.  It is also filled with graves of lifes that once walked this earth and had dreams.. They no longer dream, they no longer get to enjoy the simple things for the time on this earth has past.  So Live your days with joy and enjoy every moment of your day.. Praise our Lord and thank him for your blessings and give your heart to the creator..The one who gave his life for you. Jesus our Savior.
Blessings,
Katelen

VASE or VESSEL

Vase or Vessel? .
This is just another little sketch in my little book.  I saw this beautiful hand blown glass piece in the Huntsville Art Museum.  This sketch does not even come close to it's beauty but just for a quick sketch it will remind me of its beauty.  So I wrote down Vase..But if I could change the word it would be Vessel.. A vessel reminds me of our own body for we are a vessel...
