Destroy the evidence

My beloved grandmother passed away this past week. As we were sorting through her things, new info about her life was revealed to all in the room. Grandma eloped at age 18. Other sorted details are for family only.

So if you think you may be leaving mortality anytime in the near future and you have secrets. Destroy the evidence now!

Breaking News..Huber Heights Flu hits South Carolina

Share and share alike that's what I say. Of course, unless you are talking about germs that make you puke and .... . It is picking us off one at a time. What does that say about our immune system? We were all exposed at the same time, however we've all gotten it on different days. I will never go there again!

Cleaning or lack of

Does anybody know how to clean a house really good? It has gotten so bad I save the merry maid ad list of tasks they do, so I will know what I need to clean. Life gets in the way of a spotless house. I'm not sure I want to do much about that. Before children everything was cleaned and spotless, life has taken on a different glow or layer of dust I should say. Hope no one is allergic. Got to go make an attempt.

Challenge

Life is full of little frustrations. All of which we can learn from. We can learn to be frustrated and upset or knuckle in and take care of things. Life here on earth is a proving ground. We have the freedom to do with as we will.
I see my young grand children constantly testing the line, so a teaching ground can take place in their homes. Allowing their parents to teach them to pray and to love. It is wonderful to see. Yes, even the challenging days. They're all wonderful to me.
As adults, we are expected to just suck it up. Of course, with a Christ like attitude. I've been doing a lot of reading lately about the temporal experience and dealing with the frustrations of life. I even had opportunity to tell someone the other day, "you can do anything for 3 months, it's going to be over and then on with other things". If that is the case, then all things are for our good and learning and growth.
No matter how long the frustrations of life beat you down you only have to get up one more time. Sometimes that is easier said than done. But the only alternative is not an option.
I've come to know that life is full of challenges and each individual has their own challenges and growth that needs to be done. All in all, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His true church can help us rise above the human experience and face it all with a smile. Sometimes I have to fake it until I make it, but that is OK too.
