Black Flowers For Weddings

Yes life is hard, but you know what everyone is going through it at the same time. O.K. they may be going through something different, but it is just as hard for them as your troubles are for you. Really- life is great. Just slow down and look at one of your kids smile at you, or listen to them say a truly heart felt prayer. Go listen to the bird and the wind through the trees. We are here for a purpose and it is wonderful.

I got a reality check from my wife the other day. I was being weighed down by way to much stuff that I let get to me. Yes there are a lot of things that need to be taken care of, which seem to make life hard. But it is the way we take care of it and how we face the situation that will affect the out come, and even our attitudes going through whatever it is.

Remember this

Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

John Maxwell

Life keeps coming at me no matter how hard I try to make it better. Well I guess that is how life works. It will always come. No matter how hard I pray life is still going to хэнд out challenges and tasks that we need to try and over come.. For those of you who believe in God, some of what comes to us is from him, to help us become better, to learn and grow. Other things we make mistakes and then in turn something happens and we start to struggle. This can be really hard for us, partially because we thing that God doesn't care for us and wants us to struggle. Well that is not true. Just as you don't want your children to struggle, god does not want us to struggle, but you just can't bail someone out when they need help. sometimes there is that learning time that needs to take place. And isn't that what life is all about. Learning.

come to us in all different formats and times. I live in a place where it still can freeze up to Memorial Day, that is at the end of May. Yes is snowed a little here 2 days ago, no it didn't stay long but it snowed. Today it has been raining and so did it yesterday. Me and my wife took a little walk around the yard after it rained. We stopped by our lilac bushes and looked at the flowers that were starting to bud. It was beautiful. Just a little bit of rain water was sitting in the buds. I wish I had the picture that I took to show you. Very beautiful. We also have strawberries and raspberries that we have been growing the past couple of years. The strawberries seem to not really die (or hibernate, or whatever plants do during the winter) but the raspberries-well the stems look dead all winter long. The first summer after winter, after we planted them, we cut them back because we thought that they were dead. Well guess what they weren't. We didn't know that until a couple of years later when we didn't get them cut back fast enough and they started to grow back. Yea, we could have some real nice raspberry bushes right now. Well life is like that some times. It could be with a lot of different opportunities, sometimes it does grow back. An opportunity that we thought had passed could come around to us again. someone that we thought we would never see, or hear from again we do. What ever it may be it could and sometimes does come back around to us again.

Happy living
