Clearing out


  • this year's spring cleaning is really a clearing out
    it is hard to imagine how many things a couple
    will hang on to and now that I am alone
    the things- have less meaning
    so I have been busy clearing out =
    papa hubby was a keeper of things
    and he often kept them in various places
    so I run into things all the time
    some times it is a good find
    like yesterday finding a special silver dollar
    from the royal canadian mint- 2006
    complete in case and unopened
    made of fine silver
    it is to celebrate something but I
    can not guess what and I do not want to dig
    it out of the case right now - need gloves for that
    that was papa hubby's rule--LOL
    then to day I found that we paid all our household
    bills in 2000 - so I shredded them with no gloves
    I found a quote also but with no author
    I will share it with you as I think that it
    applies well to my new life
    LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME COURAGE AND STRENGTH TO WALK ALONE, SO I MAY TURN EACH STUMBLING BLOCK INTO A STEPPING STONE.
    I am doing that as I move in this journey- some days I stand still--
    some days I fall down- some days I get up and some days I take a step
    but I always stay with my SHEPHERD-
    I will continue to clear out as I move along this journey
    have a wonder filled day tomorrow
    and pause for a moment to tell someone
    you love- that you love them and give them
    a meme hug

I love the quote you shared and plan to post it as a permanent fixture on my own blog. I too have started the 'clearing out' process. On some days, I can get a lot accomplished; on others, I just sit and cry over every item I touch. I'm praying for you as you move forward. I know the lonliness and pain, but also the joy of your journey. May the Lord be with as you go....

Many hugs............

Meme, love and prayers to you today. You said, s"ome days I stand still--
some days I fall down- some days I get up and some days I take a step
but I always stay with my SHEPHERD." And all days you are courageous. Your love for God and His faithfulness to you have given you great strength. You are an inspiration.

Many blessings.
