One more step…

fogThis is the view from my window this morning.  Fog so thick, I can barely see the first line of trees.  For some reason, it reminded me of a poster I once saw.  Half of the poster was painted a solid black with jagged edges…the remainder of the poster was solid white.  The caption read, “faith is walking to the edge of ALL the light you have and taking one more step”.  I was thankful for the Holy Spirit’s quiet little nudge and gentle reminder…

Yesterday, the sun was shining brightly and the view was amazing.  Then at dusk, the moon appeared – this spectacular big ball in a navy blue sky…

It has been almost two weeks since Jim broke his ankle/leg and had surgery.  He’s healing nicely I think.  He is anxious to have this all behind him and return to work.  This is Christmas tree harvest time, and he’s feeling the pressure of it.  He will still not be able to do anything besides direct the crew from the farm office with his leg propped up, but he’s ready to be there.  I confess to being tired…well, okay, very tired.  Maybe that’s why I needed the reminder to keep on taking one more step…

    Hey Ms. Dianne ! So sorry to hear about Mr. Jim. Had a similar situation a few years ago. I was knocked off a ladder at work.Fell about 8′ onto a concrete floor. It Fractured my knee-cap,was in a soft cast for 3-4 mos. Then rehabbed by riding a stationary bike 30 mins.every day. Its amazing how much the muscles atrophy when they aren’t used. Hope he is going to be fine.We will keep him in our prayers. O ! The coobook is Awesome ! Here’s a link for some southern stuff : LOL !
    Have a Great Week !

  • Thanks, Spuddawg Charles! Sounds like you were blessed when you fell that you didn’t hit your head…although a knee cap would have been sooo painful! I’m glad you’re enjoying the cookbook you won on one of my giveaways (which I need to do again!) and I’ll be sure to check out the link you sent. Thanks for taking time to post – good to hear from you!
