I Lift My Eyes Up....

I look to you, heaven-dwelling God, look up to you for help.  (Psalm 123:1, The Message)

 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?  

My help comes from the Lord,  the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2)

 Spent a little time on the back porch this afternoon

soaking up some sun and doing a few of my exercises holding on to the porch rail.

 I was thankful to be surrounded by early autumn beauty

and sad when the loose pages of directions for some knee rehab exercises

floated off the seat of my walker.

I haven't gotten to the "stairs phase" of rehab yet,

so I tossed a couple of weights on them and will ask my husband to retrieve them later.

I often "toss a couple of weights" on quotations that inspire/instruct/challenge me--

short, concise statements that I don't want to float out of my mind.

I do that by storing them in my hand-written journal*, in the quotes tab of this blog, 

or in my Twitter account.  

They are more easily retrieved than before 

when I wrote them on random pieces of paper that were difficult to re-source....

*Have you noticed how frequently Dr. David Jeremiah encourages 

his congregation and listeners to journal?
