I did not purposely add the URL at the end of my post... It is the same as the scripture I included up top.

Well... It is not the hot day I thought it was going to be... but this is my preferred kind of day... nice and cool.
I got such a treat today... a very long line of Canada Geese mom's with their babies along with our usual momma ducks and babies. Sadly... my camera was IN THE HOUSE... as I was totally taken off guard and everything happened so fast... the geese came onto the shore and it was simply SPECTACULAR... I have never seen this occur in the 9 years that I have been here. I had no idea that geese and ducks sometimes travel together. It was LOVELY.

Wow! This is so well written (content-wise) that I was imagining that I was reading a Christian self-help book. Haha, that sounds like an oxymoron, Christian self-help book, haha. But seriously, you should think about making a real journal of these type of thoughts, (or just put them here), and organize them into a book version or something. I don't know what you would call it, but these musings and life lessons have value for others to "swim" in.
GOOD GRIEF Mr. Moose... Are you trying to butter me up for something??? something with chocolate perhaps? HAHA.
Do you want Bob's favourite chair?? Another picture of a moose??
Seriously... my little offerings simply come from my heart... The school of sorrow and suffering produces wisdom. GOD promised that sorrow was only for a season... I truly believe this is why I was healed.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Thanks for the encouragement Mr. Moose. For now... this little GARAGE is where I write.
Good morning my precious forum family.... Gosh... I'm trying to live it up a little with a new colour but you can't even tell... HOLD on... let me try again.... How's that??? I think that is a bit too light... OK.... one more try... ok... this is BETTER.
Well... yesterday was NOT the warm day I anticipated.... but... BUT.... TODAY IS.... so I am going to go for a lovely dip in the lake. I went to have a look at the water and it's CRYSTAL CLEAR... so it's going to be a lovely swim.
Quiet day here.... a leisurely one ( HA.... my entire life is leisurely to be honest.. ). Anyways... nothing in my head to share for today.
Have a good one everybody.... BOB should be home SOON.... OH my goodness.... how I have missed him.
I think I will have to get him a new cozy chair because I'm quite certain I caught Mr. Moose eyeing it up the other day.
Figures... cuz it's right under Uncle Hank's picture. HAHA.

Just because a moose sits on your chair, doesn't mean you need a new chair. Well, as long as it is a sturdy one. LOL
Dear Mr. Moose... Please forgive me for the misunderstanding. I thought I saw you eyeing up Bob's favourite chair... we all know that possession is 9/10's of the law... and so it is BOB who would need a NEW chair if you decided to sit under Uncle Hank. HAHA.
Well, in my defense, I didn't see "Bob's Chair" written on it!
Is this going to be like Sheldon knowing someone was in his seat? Aren't you supposed to turn the seat cushion over when you spill something on it?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... and still HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... you were actually funnier than me... Oh my goodness..... HAHAHAHAHAHA.
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11
OH how I love this scripture... I have known it for a very long time... but understanding it... experiencing it... and believing it... is quite new to me. Perhaps this is why I find it SO EXCITING now... because I BELIEVE IT.
I want to share an experience I had this week. I am quoting something I shared from post #360 ( WOW )
If anyone knows anything about the waiting list of affordable housing... they will recognize that it's a very long and tedious process with non-stop forms to fill out only to be sent to the back of the line. I live in a smaller city however... we are also in a housing crisis... so with my above post regarding needing to think about my future... I chose to contact a property management group that was OUTSIDE the scope of the normal "subsidized housing".
I knew this meant that I had to truly have all my ducks in a row... this is a more competitive arena and they exercise the RIGHT to be extremely selective. Being on a disability is NOT to my advantage... so... the only thing going for me is that I was a SENIOR.
side note**** HAHAHA... I feel like Shakespeare with his asides ( if you know.. you know. ).
An aside is a speech or short comment that a character delivers directly to an audience. A key characteristic of an aside is that other characters on screen or on stage (in a play) appear not to hear the speech or comment.
I love playing the senior card... HAHAHAHA... especially when it comes to a discount at a store. HAHAHAHAHA.
So... my initial contact was through a phone call. The lady was so amazingly considerate and respectful that I chose to buy a rose and deliver it to the office to thank her for treating me with dignity. I assumed that I was speaking with the secretary of this organization but as it turned out... It was the BOSS... and this set up a lovely position to be in.
To make things even more amazing... I asked my landlord's brother-in-law to print off the application for me as it was sent via email... and low and behold... he just happens to be on the board of directors of his condo that is managed by......... you guessed it... the same lady. SMALL WORLD when you are a beloved child of God. He sent her an email on his own accord to put in a very good word on my behalf. = the VERY BEST position to be in.
Yesterday... I took a nice long walk... and dropped off my application for the same building my mother lived in before she passed away. AND... was told directly from this lady that I will be selected NEXT when a lake facing unit is available. I have been very selective in that I have chosen only ONE out of 4 buildings... and even more selective by stating I want a back facing unit ( which means quieter ).
NO long forms... no waiting in line... no being put on hold.... and you are NEXT. WOW... just WOW. I can't even wrap my brain around this. Normal waiting time for this unit would be 10 years ( that is not a lie )... it would probably shrink down to about 5 years... and actually play out to 3-4 years. I anticipate that I will be in this unit by next year.. and that was also at my request because I need to prepare my landlords... as this will be sad news to them... and to me... because I love these people so much.
What sticks out to me in all this is that GOD HONOURS us... Like seriously... HE ( the God of the UNIVERSE ) HONOURS us. If we are faithful to live according to His ways.... HE will HONOUR us. I can't think of a more appropriate example of GOD having honoured me. WOW.
Happy Wednesday to my precious Forum family.
