Today could have been almost considered springtime  but a little wind erased that possibility. Pleaseant indoors away from that breeze. Not too long now until all the glory of spring breaks forth with new life rising out of the frozen earth.  We do need rain to bring about this delightful transformation though.  Scarsely did we have time to hover in July and August has burst upon us reminding us that winter is passing quickly just like our very days. Who has ever experienced such a vanishing year?

I took out some old photographs this morning and gazed in wonder at how we have progressed through the years ulmost unaware that time has elapsed with a soundless rush. I have enjoyed a very secure marriage for 37 years and when starring at a photograph taken of my husband and I before we were married - we are just so very young in appearance. Had to digest the fact  that it really was us! We have matured faster than a block of camembert. To be fair, we have also developed around us a gorgeous family and now beautiful grand children. We have indeed been truly blest, despite the rapid passing of one of our most precious valuables - TIME.

With this awareness of our aging and the lack of a long future it is a comfort to be knit in a sacred relationship with a Heavenly King of Kings. The Majesty of all eternity is my constant Companion, Guide and Monarch who reigns within. My journey through recovery has been all His doing. The Manager of my Soul is truly worthy of much praise. Without Him I would be resting in an elaborate coffin, chilled in the depths of the earth. But today, I live to sing His praise. This troubled world reeking in so much sadness and corruption is needful of this Comforter.  We, who enjoy His blessings and hourly attention are duty bound to share His love and peace.

Daily, I offer myself for His use to be a blessing to some needy Soul. God knows there are millions out there, so sad in their hearts and lonely for a kind word and a friendly smile. These cost so little to share and the reward is greater than the gold which could be hauled out of Kalgoolie's mines. Not surprisingly, I have opportunity often. Praise God!!

He has angels who delight to do His bidding also and who are of great strength to protect the meek and lowly who come unto Him for His protection. They behold the face of God in heaven and joy in ministering to His people.  he says, Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Today is a great time to seek that peace that passes understanding and is free to all who ask.

May August be the start of a new and peaceful journey for all who choose the gilft.
