Alphabet Soup Garden Varieties

Yes, its been a short time but 20 pounds of it was what I gained over the last year before surgery.
Therefore, I still have a closet full of clothes that still fit. I did go through all of my pants.
Over ten pairs will be given to a friend at work, and she will give away what she cant use.
I know I have a pair of Hudson jeans hidden someplace in my closet.
I still have not lost enough to fit into those again. Im working on it :)
 
ok.... ok.... I can pull them on!!!
Im no where near getting the zipper up though.


this journey has been a difficult one
not harder than others just different
seems like life has a way
of teaching us new things
when we least expect major changes
its with a PooF they race forward
like a speeding car on the autobahn
forever molding us from old to new

and sometimes Im just lucky enough to breathe
 
when we follow the Lord with all our heart
to pray earnestly for a successful outcome
our sails can be adjusted to the current wind flow
as the destination can bring greater understanding

no matter what that is in this life we live
we dont always have to like our circumstances
but here they are and it is up to us to change
even if it is only a point of view through His love

inspiration comes in many forms and places
to prosper we must learn to bend with that wind
our firm foundation will keep us on the ground
no matter what the current chooses to bring

when internal energies are aligned with the Lord
we remain flexible enough to withstand anything
and external forces wont be able to break us
no matter how hard they try...
 
modesty is an old friend that lives here
she likes to play dress up with my clothes,
sometimes I say no to things she holds dear
grandma fashions like a model she'll pose,

there can be style while I clothe me
nothing too short too loud or revealing,
like a happy medium all can see
it is all about my inner feelings,

in this day and age it is not easy
to balance appropriate attire,
with what makes me happy thats not cheesy
while my comfort does not go haywire,

so I do try my best to dress nicely
in more updated fashions of today,
finding things on sale is my likely
with some modesty I do also pray...

doesnt matter where we find it
so long as it doesnt hurt anyone
its like a treasure deep within
except it wont need a shovel

sometimes it makes us scream
maybe even cry aloud
the simple things say it best
like a smile or a laugh

happiness is a gift of living
beautiful and unencumbered
it usually doesnt cost anything
to create memories to cherish

might I share more of it daily
to smile with kindness when I can
remembering I shine for our Father
and my happiness is His, too
 
sometimes I can feel out of place
my home just isnt mine
sometimes its like Im a sweater
in a lost and found box

that is when I pray uncomplicated
for that is what salvation really is
the black and white truth
which grounds me again

to remember I am always His
He is right here inside my heart
and I m certainly right
my home just isnt mine

for my home is in heaven
what a glorious thing indeed
I know it will be that and more
simply I can never be lost again

and that beauty is all I need
to know where my place is
for our Father prepared one for me
in my forever resting place
 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:​

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace

we have our ups and downs
times of increase, times of decrease
all make us thankful
for everything our Father chooses to give us
might we remember always
to find some happiness joy and love
in the many things this life shares
even in times of sorrow
we have memories to cherish
in times of struggle
we still can find hope
so now is the perfect time
to forgive ourselves as the Lord forgives us
and to share kindness daily
