What’s happening now? Walking through my neighborhood, arms swinging, smiling, waving, reflecting, a gentle breeze, and birds singing. Flowers and lawnmowers and flags and sunshine! So much gratitude… Trees down, dogs barking, and there again… roses galore, in almost every color… sightings of old neighbors, Rebecca and Charlie, and a new neighbor, Ms Toni. Butterflies and tree removals…yesterday’s aftermath and visual reminder of life’s storms …s e l a h …
Pink building…back home…shower and gratitude!
Reflection…just twenty-four hours ago, debilitating shoulder pain. Excruciating, unbearable and alone. Unable to endure, I walked in the emergency room. Answered prayer…was seen right away….tears streamed down my face…medical exams and questions…then the waiting…and uncertainty and yes, gratitude…thanking Him for the detailed ways in which HE knitted me together in my mother’s womb. While sitting in that room “alone, but not alone” allowing my thoughts to ramble…wondering what’s causing this pain… temporarily envious of everyone walking freely without it. An answer, sort of… then the discharge and meds. I make it to the pharmacy and there’s penny just prior to my prescription… and of course, a #praise to the One who promised to never leave me nor forsake me!
