Gee look it's a cow over there hey
Oh look they are all lining up to get milked
the road to the farm is incising and peaceful
Oh how sweet good enough to eat oh no I do not want to think of that now...
The outlook is so calm but for the farmer it is all work..
Feeding and Milking is tough work
but a farm girl knows how it is all done
oh no don't take my picture I am shy
to the farmer is the work ever done?
ah the road back on home..
What a day we did spend in the country on the farm..
On this day some 39 years ago did I marry my husband...
We stood in front of the minister at the Church and receipted our wedding vowels, to love and to cherish, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
There were some at our wedding that did not believe that we would make the distance, or that we were doing the right thing. There were others who knew that we both had love for each other that would keep us together no matter what life would bring our way.
There have been times when we both wanted to through the towel in and walk away, but then we look at what life would be without the other in our days.
There as been many moments of Love Joy and Peace. There have been moments of pain and of Grief. But together we decided we would row down the river of the rest of our lives.
Next year will be a real mile stone when we celebrate 40 years..
It has been Faith in each other and Faith in God who brought us together that we have succeeded in continuing our married life last this long, and remain happy.
With every Sunrise comes promise of new life.....
This came in my inbox today...It was in a fancy web page..
but I think the message is so true... I wish you many mud puddles each day..
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away."
When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard.
My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on.
When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away.
My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.
When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen.
My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own.
When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk.
My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.
When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that.
My kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy and Daddy."
When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets.
My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross, and worms to play with.
I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn from? No wonder God loves the little children!
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
I wish you Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!
Walking the Plank at Taree Pool Allan Looking on....

I think Josh was just too quick to catch a shot of but he had a go too and fell off as well...
But Tarah dived right in and had a Ball...
Meanwhile I just enjoyed a spa....
There are so many things that can trick the eye into not noticing what we are really seeing..
This one sure had me going for a time... Then the penny dropped and I realised the deception, the trick that my eyes had not quite recognised.
So you gaze into his eyes and thinking on the card you have chosen and
What do you see....... the card .... Has gone .... how did he know???
how is it done? how could my eyes be deceived?
Well take a look and discover...
you look and you look and the card you pick certainly is not there any more..
But wait let me look at these cards once again...
Non of the other cards that were there on the first lot are there either..
Humm yes in deed it is an elusion a trick of the eyes that the mind does not realized.
But now you see it so clearly it all make such sense..
Is life like that most of the time?
I wonder do we ever really know what we see...
We only know what we have been told that when we see a tree that it is a tree..
A table is a table and a chair is a chair.
What is we look at something we have never seen before and we have never been told what it is... It is a something but nothing really as it does not compute in our brain.
what do I really see?
Maybe if we look all around us and not just at what we think we are seeing then we can make more sense of the things that we do see..
This really has made me thing..
Oh Why then Oh Why
Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize
it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can't.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine, after the rain....
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God's always ready, to answer your call....
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
a word from His lips, can calm every fear...
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light...
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
to give you His grace, and send you His love...
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
