Who,What,Why, How!!!

I have been asking God a lot of questions lately...
1. Who benefits from this blog? Obviously, I do. It is somehow therapy for me. I think my family
benefits. They are reminded of the blessings from their Dad and how loved they are. But, you
my friends and maybe a stranger or two. I hope you benefit from being reminded that your
heavenly Dad loves and blesses you.

2. What's it all about? I believe that we all are desperate to know that our lives matter. And yes,
that our God does have good plans for us even when we don't see it in our immediate path.
Being a widow does not seem like a promotion in this life, but God told me I was like Ester
and that makes me a Queen. I haven't found out yet what a Queen does, except that I am
loved by the King and I have a responsibility to the Kingdom.

3.Why? Why me and why now,God? I think that we all need to find more of who God is,
everyday. The Lord wants us to know Him. He is so different from us that He needs us
to look with different eyes so that we can see Him. The earth is full of His Glory and one
day the earth will be filled with the KNOWLEDGE of His GLORY. Those of us that search
now will be very blessed. Remember Psalm #1...Blessed is the man (woman) that delights in
law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by
streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.....

4.How do I do this Lord? The days are difficult. The loneliness invades everything that I do.
My medicine is not only scripture but then I start thanking Him for where I saw His Glory
today. a) Brett (my 14 month old grandchild) laughed at me and gave me a kiss today.
b) Cole (my 19 month old grandchild) let me read him a book today.
c) I picked up Tyler,Trevor (10 years old) and Seth (5 years) from school today. They
were laughing about how they saw each other at school in the hall.
d) Ava ( 4 years old), Gave me a big hug and said "I love you, Nana"
e)I am planning a trip next week to see Brad, Heather, Joshua (6 years) and Gracie(4
years). I will get a lot of hugs then too.
f) Hayley and Richard are celebrating a wonderful wedding anniversay this weekend.
( God is so good to give my children wonderful marriages like we had)

Make your list, talk to your Daddy (God), read His word, (It's life and food for your soul)
