Nightly Gathering
Open Thread Post 70 - Not as Tired
I must have gotten much better sleep last night, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of you are keeping me on your prayer list for peace and strength, but it must be something, because I'm not near as tired as 24 hours ago. I still have some things to do, but it's coming together. I'm not as stressed or anxious as even I thought I'd be.
On the walk with “The Spot” that I did today, the last few times I've started a new habit of placing my hand up in the tree and touching the baggy which has enclosed in it the antique hairpin covered ceramic dish with some of Mo's ashes, wrapped by several leftover quilt scraps of her clothes, rubber banded so it is shut and padded. I lay my hand on it and say hi, and ask God to tell her how much we miss her.
I could not help but shed a few tears listening to the middle song in the program as I was preparing the AV material. For some strange reason, Amazon will not let me download that particular mp3, “order cannot be placed”,but even more surprising, was there was a customer service link, and I actually got through to a real person almost immediately, who transferred me to the digital department, and I also spoke to a real person almost immediately! Apparently, my 1-click ordering was disabled. I was shocked to talk to two real people from that behemoth of a company. (He was wrong. I enabled it, but it didn't solve the problem)
Anyhow, that was today. Weather on Saturday is looking like it will be some showers perhaps, but not rain all day. With some sun, we just might get a 🌈.
If you are here for the first time, Open Thread is just that. Use it to write about whatever you would like to.
I’m so glad everything is still in the tree. That was a great idea.
I like that you ask God to tell Mo how much you miss her. I think that’s a biblical way to do it and I also do believe she does get to know that. I bet our loved ones in heaven even say a similar thing to the title of your blog, except they are saying to us “you can’t imagine” how wonderful heaven is, and that they are waiting for us to join in the glory.
And until we get there, I believe that bringing God glory, and living our earthly life to the fullest with joy and peace, is what both God and our loved ones want for us.
I am praying for safe travel for all your friends and family and also praying that you and your husband and son receive much everlasting comfort and peace. May God’s love , mercy, power, protection and promises be upon you all.
