I have read it before, but now reading it again, slowly line by line, brings its beauty up front and closer to my heart.<br /><br />I also loved the sight of the haystacks along a country road.<br /><br />This post warmed my heart. I am glad I dropped by today.<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-20755809215734801412010-11-14T20:52:20.815-05:002010-11-14T20:52:20.815-05:00Beautiful and inspiring post Rebecca, I agree our ...Beautiful and inspiring post Rebecca, I agree our society just about meets itself coming and going.

Trying to relax through the sounds of Katie's "MUSIC" in the background! Not exactly music to relax by but she's cleaning her room so what can I say? LOL!<br />I'm so glad that the two of you had time to relax Rebecca. I enjoyed your photos and the cute squirrel!<br />I was thinking of you the other day when I went thrift shopping!

In fact, I'm RUNNING off to church this very moment!<br />How I long for a few lazy days to scrapbook!<br />Now that the Banquet is over, and just before we start planning for our "walk-a-thon," GOD has orchestrated a BIG blessing for me...2 cruises!<br />And I have never cruised before! So, I guess the second one might not happen if the first is a bad experience. HA! Our Father knows just how depleted I am.<br />Thank you for ALL of your kind and affirming comments...sure wish we could meet face to face.<br />Someday!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742425014656556927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-2499283515557698452010-11-14T07:04:02.277-05:002010-11-14T07:04:02.277-05:00I agree, Colleen!

His blood pressure was constantly being monitored. Every time he meditated or prayed, his blood pressure immediately dropped. It was right there on the screen.
