• Sunday afternoon. Rob's napping on the sofa....I'd like to nap, but if I do, I won't sleep tonight, so I am resisting. The girls were gone overnight, and now I'm waiting for the call
  to go pick them up.
  
  My calendar tells me that spring arrives today....I'm still not sure what's going to pop up in my yard. But, maybe I'll start puttering out there sometime soon.

  "Difficulty is not outside of God's design for our lives, but God is never outside the difficulty unless we put Him there....Prayer is difficult, because we find it easier to do than to ask, to act than to be still, and to talk than to listen. But prayer....never fails to catch God's ear....Prayer invites God into the very fabric of our lives." ~ C. Ringma
  
  Boy, all we have to do these days is look at the news and we'll be motivated to pray.
  
  "They cried to the Lord in their trouble..." Ps 107:6
  
  "I say, 'Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.Yes, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. I would hasten to escape and to find a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest'.....
  [Instead,] cast your burden on the Lord, releasing the weight of it, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be moved." Ps 55: 6-8, 22
  
  Yes, much fodder for prayer....it's always time to ask, be still and listen.

  The California Redwoods are just covered in furry growth.
  
  
  
  And the water is incredibly tinted thanks to a mineral called serpentine.
  
  
  
  And I miss my kids, along with their friends.....
  
  
  
  We had treasured time together at the beginning of the year. For that I am grateful.

  Maybe I'll take just a wee snooze......
