I came to tell you how I smiled and giggled at your comments on my Friday Fives about weddings, and found this delightful post.....I just LOVE reading your perspective and wit, and you always seem to make me smile. I am so glad we found each other and can help each other thru this similar time in one another's life. I will post things about my upcoming grandchild, and you can look forward to that time as I share.

(pre-delight) Going, going going, giving, giving, giving. When my sweet Brenna goes to camp each summer, ALL the emotions hit, because I finally have time to breathe and think. And pray. And get really honest with God. Who, is ever faithful to meet me right where I am. I can't say everything has changed and I know just what to do, but my delight today is your post. And I will keep looking today to see God's goodness.<br />xoxo<br />lynnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639585542870213565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-77356721890245841442010-07-08T11:14:07.708-04:002010-07-08T11:14:07.708-04:00BEAUTIFUL!!! and much needed in my life right now!...BEAUTIFUL!!! and much needed in my life right now!

I appreciate your thoughts so very much. <br /><br />As Christians we go thru life, hoping to be Christ with skin on for others to see and grow as a result. 'I count it pure joy' to know He would use me in such a way - and you should as well - in knowing you have been a blessing to me and obviously to so many others as well. <br /><br />May He continue to bless you and your words and all those who read and hear them.Valerie@intelligentExpressionshttp://www.intelligentexpressions.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-66002441380916774142010-07-07T23:48:10.929-04:002010-07-07T23:48:10.929-04:00Thank you for sharing that.

Seasons I never dreamed I could flourish outside of. But as you said, God has made all things beautiful. Despite losing my job in May of 2009, life is good. I'm in the process of beginning a new career. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I couldn't be happier.<br /><br />Yak on, friend.

Here in Idaho "the remnant" would have been frozen solid in a couple of hours and finished! All kidding aside, isn't it wonderful how we find answers to all of our questions in the scriptures. We know that we are to experience joy in this life and surely both of us do through our faith in Jesus Christ, family and friends. We are surely blessed. Thanks Debbie for sharing your thoughtful lesson. It will give me something to ponder this evening, and I will be looking for more delights in my life and report back.Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554000489672731030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-21373857623647366962010-07-07T18:26:37.182-04:002010-07-07T18:26:37.182-04:00As always you made me smile, such beautiful words ...As always you made me smile, such beautiful words Debbie.<br /><br />I've made myself promise that I will not think about the past or worry about the future.

I had a similar rejoicing about our sq ft garden that I had all but given up on actually bearing any veggies.

Oh, how I needed to hear this.<br />And I loved every word of it. God is SO good, and His mercy endureth forever! Some day, when we look back on the tapestry of life and see if from the side in which the Master is weaving it and not from the clipped and snarled, partially viewed underside, we are going to stand and gasp in awe! In the mean time, even from this underside, we should still stand and gasp and delight in the beauty that surrounds us, even when that beauty is a remnant. Sometimes, remnants are the loveliest! <br /><br />So I am standing with you and rejoicing in this day that He Hath made because He has made it beautiful just for us!<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-2160862373921981152010-07-07T11:20:52.128-04:002010-07-07T11:20:52.128-04:00Debbie, this post is a "delight!"

I am at that season of life where I am wanting another little one around ... guess with Hannah's looming wedding it's got me wound up .... either a human baby, or a puppy! <br />: ) Perhaps a puppy for you to help ease the "empty nest?" <br /><br />But never close your eyes to other delights that do abound. I love this adventure that God has put us in! I also love the eloquent way you express it. <br /><br />My favorite example in my life of "adventure" was when Lorri was 8. We were returning from taking Yip to the airport (Heathrow). I did not know my way back to Peterborough (our home at the time). We got lost. BUT on our lost way home, we "discovered" a quaint old town called St. Albans. I never would have found it if I hadn't gotten lost. So Lorri and I enjoyed our little adventure (one of many ... I have no sense of direction), but I always saw it as God's hand directing us to slow down and enjoy the sights. We always made it home, eventually.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />AnnAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-42291220155064944992010-07-07T11:14:30.476-04:002010-07-07T11:14:30.476-04:00Thanks so very much for this post which causes me ...Thanks so very much for this post which causes me to seek delight in all things!!
