Missing Paul Militaru

Hello WordPress community! I don’t think I am alone in wondering about fellow photographer, Paul Militaru. He was passionate about sharing his photography. And now to see that his blog is no longer available concerns me. At this time I can’t think of his dogs name. He would often include photos of her. It saddens me to think that something has happened to him. God knows, so I will be at peace with knowing that. With all of the chaos and the erratic weather, one can speculate. I pray for those from his country and family. May peace be with them and all that have experienced loss or illness.

To Ukraine with Love

Dear women and children of Ukraine, It’s important for me, to let you know, that I am thinking about you. I have shed tears for your situation and have at times felt helpless. As I have viewed the news, I secretly imagined myself being transported to help. I am a senior woman. I have thought that I could hold a hand, or comfort a baby or child. To hear about and read about your tenacity, is truly inspiring. I know that I could learn much from you, from your determination to follow through, with what is on your heart to do. As a bystander from the United States, I cheer you on. With prayer and love, may you be carried to safety. There is power in prayer and I will continue to pray. Thanking my Lord for all he is doing, and going to do. He knows you by name, sees your tears.. He is a God of love and compassion. Remember you are courageous and you are strong.. I close with, The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid.. Sincerely, In Him, Roberta

self-focused

even exposure

from the sun

cannot make a difference

but there is a Son that can.

Not So Strong on Shaky Ground

standing on shaky ground

even though there are answers to be found

somewhere in the written word

like tasty morsels and divine treats

but to uncover them, is quite a feat

understanding is required

and at this time, i lack that skill

for i am weary of the struggle

maybe i do not have what it takes

for discouragement wants it’s way..

a prayer, just doesn’t float in the air

it is received with open ears and tender care

pray without ceasing, as hard times are increasing

we need strength and wisdom

to not be deceived..

come under the shadow of safety

and where your concerns will be relieved

put your trust in the Almighty

and with your whole heart, Believe..

Way Back When

A special cat, who adopted us while we were in transition and asked for very little. A roof over her head and food in her bowl. I will add that she was partial to Mr. G. He fed her turkey, one Thanksgiving Day in 2002. Hey You, whom he named, decided he (Mr. G) was a keeper. Hey You had a few things to teach me, and that she did. She prepared me for the other furry friends, that we would add to our household. I attribute prayer for keeping her alive. Back in March, when Mr. G was away on a trip. I began to see signs of her declining. She lost her appetite, was disoriented and had a seizure. I tried to keep her comfortable, and looked forward to Mr. G’s return. Upon his arrival he took over and before we knew it, she was back on her feet, eating and drinking a little. She was particularly fond of white toy mice. It was amazing to watch how playful she became, even as a senior cat. We all miss you Hey You.. But I have to ask, if you put the word out and sent that rough looking, long haired, grey cat to come and visit us? Please don’t extend the invitation. Lol! Rest in Peace sweet cat..
