Fresh Air

Thanks- giving weekend...

Barbarah is home and I've headed to the North Woods of Minnesota for a 3 day retreat. It's a breath of fresh air for me to escape to the outdoors world.

This morning Honey and I took a 3 hour hike up Gooseberry Falls... the waters are freezing in the winter weather. Soon snow will cover the ground instead of simply dusting the edges.

Ahh, deep breath...

Thankful for this little getaway, the silence, like the blanket of God's presence. His voice seems so clear to me out here

Grace 2 Glory

Every once in a while Mom will have a day when she doesn't hurt... perhaps it's a warm day with a low barometric pressure that relieves the pain of arthritis, or maybe it's just an extra bit of GOD's GRACE that envelops her... but in those increasingly rare moments, Mom shows a bit of the spark and spunk of her personality and what we see is a GLORY MOMENT.

This little video clip is worth the wait, especially if you love mom even a fraction of what I do...

Mom says I only write about her in my blog, well I suppose that's true these days because my life revolves around her in this season. Frankly, I'm just pleased to "share" her with you.

Blessings, Belinda

p.s. this was a "glory moment" from last year when Mom could still stand and balance on her own two feet for a while. She dances with laughter nowadays instead.
