WHERE IS MEME?

Here I am-------
I took last week off from most things
including the blogs
last week was a nice but bitter sweet time
July 21 was papa David's graduation date for eternal life
July 23 was his earth birthday- he would have been 70
July 25 was his memorial date for his funeral
so it was a week of memories
I did put a ''in loving memory- piece in our local paper
I did it for me to help in healing the tendar scars
I know he is fine and worshipping his Lord
and
we have had a heat wave and
living in Alberta means we do not have air conditioners
as we only need one about 1 week a year...
so I have been getting up early to do chores
and then resting and reading in my room
I do not tolerate sun shine and high temps well
I am not used to it so it saps me dry
but I know winter is coming- again so I
appreciate the hot days now
blessings to you all and I will be back in gear asap

HUGGLES FROM MEME

sunshine and clouds....


We got our rain and brother farmer says that he got enough - we have no puddles hanging around as we were so dry--------we did not get some of the thunder and lightening that other areas did- we have had storms pass over today but no more rain.Papa hubby's friend stopped by to help me clean out the old trailer which will be going to the dump- we were using as a storage shed but now it have lived it's day and needs to go out to pasture. We did have fun trying to guess what some of papa's plans were in regards to some of the items.We do make plans and we do have hope and we do not think about the day when the Lord calls us home. We need to be ready for that day- because it is quicker than a wink- and there are no do-overs.When we were told that papa hubby had terminal cancer in stage 4 plus we both remembered God's promise in John 3:16. We were prepared and so all papa hubby had to do was hang for the ride. And it was quite a ride for both us. It was the best times and worst of times.I remember so well my David's last morning and laying beside him thinking how will I know when he goes with the Lord and I remember the sweet presence of the Lord in the room and how there were no words left for us to say.I kissed him good bye as I was going home to change clothes(I would walk the 4 blocks home - change and return ) and he moved his cheeks as he had no energy to speak. I always laid my head on his chest and would say pitter patter pooh- I love you. I got ready to leave (which was only a minute in our time)and went back to kiss him good bye again and when I laid my head on his shoulder he had already slipped away - He was calm and peaceful and silent and I am so glad the Lord gave us that gift together alone. We did not have to say good-bye.I do miss him but I would not ask the Lord to bring him back to this earthy world where sin has entered in and where stuff turns to dust and rust. Missing him is worth it because I have the joy of knowing where he is and who he is with.

Rain....

It is raining here today which is what we need--and so our rain is an answer to prayer.God's blessing helps the earth grow our food and keeps us continually blessed. So often, we want to have only the sun-shinebut if there are no storms we would not see our rainbows.I feel like I am in midst of another storm right now as time is getting closer to the one year that my dear hubby has been gone- It seems like only yesterday that I held him in my arms and sang the song telling us that Jesus loved him. He loved Jesus too and had a personal faith that comforted him as he walked in the valley of death. Death came but could not steal him as his death was his victory in Jesus.I know that the sun will shine in my heart again and that the rain will help me grow- and I will see the rainbows again.

please pray that as I seek His comfort that I will remember that I do not walk alone and there is sunshine after the rain.
huggles me, Meme
