The Restoration of ME


 FAITH...HOPE for HEALING here in the STREAM
Back to Full Blog  

Beautiful light is born of darkness,



so the Faith that springs from conflict is often the strongest and best.

Gina, please don't apologize cause if you do I gotta say sorry to half of the people on my bookmark list. I'm feeling terrible these days about not getting around the Stream. I feel like a "bad" blogger. But the bill is paid and the computer fixed so by God I'm gonna get through my list. I've come to know and find interesting so many Blogs and bloggers that I can't keep up...LOL Anyway, I hope that you are well and I'll catch up with you soon. Take care my friend.

Hey Colo, I'm glad you liked the image. I've always been a visual/symbolic type. So this beautiful picture of the sky at dawn just warmed my heart. I think it's a miracle that everyday we get a new one to try to get it right...evolve...move the ball forward towards the goal. Sending much love and peace to you as a new day begins.

Morning Captain, thanks for stopping by. I'm glad that I was able to make you smile. I know there are a lot of heavy hearts in the Stream this week. I pray that my little post will brighten the day or night of everyone who stops by. Take care my friend.

HI Mary Elizabeth

Just checking in and nice to see you are doing fine. I knew you would be ok. A beautiful picture of a strong tree that also is strong enough to "bend" - that is what we all have to be - strong enough to bend in the wind and face a new day. God bless you, as always your in my prayers. Lookin'

Yes Taylor...today is a new day...a gift from God that we can use to heal and rejoice that we're alive. Hope you're doing OK, I know it's been a busy and emotional week for you. Wishing you peace my friend. Love you much.

Glad you liked it Wayf. I think we were thinking along the same lines with our recent posts. I'm just hoping to provide my friends with a place where they can rest from all that's going on and maybe find something to help them deal with it. Take care Wayf.

Lucy, it's good to see ya my dear. I'm doing OK...and you? I pray that you're also doing OK. I see that you're out and about spreading positive thoughts and love. You really are a blessing, always. Love to you my dear.

So true - Mary - if we did not have darkness we could not appreciate the beauty of light, particularly a sunrise.
And conflict also strenghtens our faith and trust in God where it really needs to be. BLessings, June

Welcome Val, like many others here I know that it's been a busy and emotional time for you here in the Stream. I'm glad that my Blog was a moment away from it all...that was my intention.

Breath my friend...you've earned it.

June, good to see you. I'm glad you liked my post. I'm finding more and more that Faith that comes from conflict or pain is indeed the strongest. Take care.

Hey "sweet Lady"

I have noticed that you also are flying around spreading some sunshine - Keep it up - we need all we can get here lately. In fact I enjoy the sunshine and the positive effects daily - don't you?

Kiss the kids for me and keep reading them stories and don't forget that kiss on the forehead at bed time - that was my favorite part of the day. Hugs - Lookin'

Lucy, like you I am a creature of the light...a few days of clouds and rain put a real hurting on my disposition. The thought of the upcoming Michigan winter has me scrambling for a winter sport so I can get whatever sunlight there is during the season. Hope you're having a good evening my friend.

Hey ME

Come out to California - we have great snow skiing and in sunshine. In fact I have a resort 45 minutes from my house and they ski in bikinis in 65 degree weather - Cool - but hard on the skin if you fall.

Thanks PolarB, I'll check it out. I know that there are so many hurt people here in the Stream right now and I was hoping that my post might help just a bit. I'm trying to make my way around to offer support to folks. Thanks for all that you do...you're part of the glue that holds us all together. Peace my friend.

Lucy, you're kidding. That sounds sooo cool. Believe it or not skiing powder conditions in the West has been one of my "dreams" since I was a teenager. I actually still have the piece of paper that I wrote it on!!! Who knows you just might see me out there on the slopes one of these days!!!

Thanks mate, I can use all the good thoughts and well wishes on the job thing. I do my best with the attitude...some days are better than others, ya know? But seeing you always brightens my day. Love ya...wondering what's up with you...hoping all if fine. Hopefully we'll catch up soon.
