And .... its sold!

The 1957 Chickering has been sold.
Moving on .....
A new life
Another chapter
It's good-bye.......

And ....

And what now?
What to do.
What to think.
Does anyone think, does anyone care?
Where are we?
Where are we going, heading, anywhere?
What is the end?
Where, when, why.
So many questions.
Do you know ...
Do I know.
Who knows?
Who cares?

God.

Do I learn?

Do I learn from the Lord's discipline?

He says Don't
He says No
He says Wait
He says In My Time
He says Not Now

And what do I say?
What do I do?

Am I learning?
Am I even listening?
Am I paying attention?
Do I care?
Well, ...... do I? Am I?

Something to think about isn't it.

Life.

It's not just day to day existence.
It's living in obedience
to God,
His rules.

After all, its His world and we are His people.

God's creation

It's the first time
The very first time
Mother Robin
made her nest
and laid in it
Didn't move away
but stayed nearby
Keeping her precious eggs warm

Until one day
The eggs hatched
Two little baby robins ....
God's creation.

The wonder of it all.
His love
His glory

I have it
Yes. I have it.
I know.

God showed me the way
Through others
My heart was open
Ready to receive

Walking, running, skipping
joyously, excitedly
Through the Scriptures
Wondering what the Lord
would say
To me

Something new
every time.
How to live

Trust and obey
His will
Not mine
