Life

Life is in the blood.

We’ve heard it. We’ve read it. We’ve experienced it.

All animal life (humans included) when the blood pump stops sending the message of life to the cells, to the tissue and the organs, the temperature cools, the supple skin yields to inflexibility – Life is gone. 

And we with life still messaging miss who or what was; just memories remain and with a thankful heart the memories are sweet with salty tears.

She came to us from under the deck October 10, 2011. She slipped away under that same deck July 23, 2018.  All of creation belongs to GOD.
He is the Author of it.  We thank Him for the life of a cat named Ruthie. 

Soup

Soup.

I’m giving thanks today for soup. Not just any soup. This once in a lifetime exact soup.  A blending of leftovers and some fresh overs thrown into a pot to simmer.  O my goodness!  Am I sad that this just for once pot of soup cannot be duplicated?2016-11-11_13-58-44_482

Not really. I am so thrilled that I get to have it this time! There will be other once in a lifetime soups, LORD willing.

Today is a once in a lifetime day too. So I am taking my own advice – be thrilled about it! :)

So what has thrilled you today?
