The Remains of the Day

I’ve written about my nephew Kael, and his condition, before… (Here:  “Please…”

and here:“To Whom It May Concern”).

Kael

Kael

….and today, as we celebrated his brother Ronin’s birthday, I was reminded to keep praying for Kael -

….to never stop.

I witnessed one of his seizures today, for the first time.  It was horrific…

….and my sister and brother-in-law (Katie and Michael) deal with this reality every second of every day.  It’s always life-threatening and potentially life-altering.

So, in the remains of this day, I’m simply asking that when you whisper your prayers tonight…please remember little Kael.  Please…

I thank you from the deepest part of my heart.

Peace.

Think Pink….

Knowledge is power, after all.

GO GIRL POWER!  Read more here…

And please remember to pray for those who are battling cancer.

Pray, work….learn….fight.  These are very “girlie” things to do anyway, I think!

So, THINK PINK!

LOVE WINS!

LOVE WINS!

Peace to you all!

The Sun Also Rises…

…even on a Monday…

I think this photo looks like an impressionist painting….it makes me happy!  I have a love affair with the sky….and I always have.  I used to stare at the clouds, as a child, and pretend I was up there - in their “fluffiness”……….I still have my head in the clouds, most days.

I’ve set aside today to look for my little shopping cart girl. I’ve been dreaming about her a lot lately…and this post reminded me that sometimes dreams can inspire us to work harder - that I can’t ever forget those who can’t help themselves.

I have this dream that, maybe someday, my little shopping cart girl will be able to stare at the clouds too, and dream her little girl dreams…. 

…and maybe I can help her make one or two come true.

That would really be a dream to me.

Peace.

The Remains of the Day

The sun is not quite going down yet, but I think I wouldn’t mind if it were.  I’m just a little weary today - sleep hasn’t been a friend the past few nights….I have always had a fickle relationship with sleep as it is.

This morning was good - the music was a little more low-key - we even did a personal favorite “Came to the Rescue”…and it was nice to hear the people singing praises.  That always lifts me!

We sang a new song, too - and it really spoke to me…to my soul:

“Love is Here” (Tenth Avenue North):

“Come to the water
You who thirst
And you’ll thirst no more
Come to the father
You who work
And you’ll work no more

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow
Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
‘Cause love is here

Come to the treasure
You who search
And you’ll search no more
Come to the lover
You who want
And you’ll want no more, no

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

And to the bruised and fallen - captives bound and broken-hearted

He is the Lord
He is the Lord
By his stripes
He’s paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation
He is the Lord
He is the Lord.

Love is here……”

I needed this encouragement this morning in my weariness…I guess we all need to be reminded of where love lies.

It was a good day…now I’m ready for a good night (maybe sleep will be my friend again…maybe).

Peace to you all.
