The tulip bed Orin planted a few years ago



Son 2:11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
Son 2:12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

Kathy,
The photo of Orin's tulip bed gave me a start! It seems we have yet one more thing in common...because we also have a huge bed of tulips. Malcom and I and our daughter, Sue, planted 1,000 tulip bulbs in the fall of 2002 so that she could have live tulips for her May 03 wedding. The joke was on us, though. They bloomed in April and we still had to buy flowers! But since Sue and Malcom are both with Jesus now, you can imagine how precious those flowers and the memories of our time together planting them is to me.

You all are in my prayers. Enjoy the flowers!

Love,
Carol

  Just wanted to say Hi,   Haven't blogged for a while.   Think I will start with a question for those of you who have lost someone dear to you. What was the best thing that someone did for you early in your grieving process? For me I think it was the person who wrote to me to tell me a memory about my husband that I did not know.  He had taken photos at their wedding and had helped them be calm when they realized they had forgotten a detail.  It was so special to be reminded of this wonderful gift that he had for helping people relax. What's yours

The Journey

It's time to write again.  This is the blog that I used when Orin was sick.  The blog I used through my journey with cancer. The blog I sporadically used in between then and now.  I've been quilting, and grand-mothering and  starting a new marriage as a pastor's wife.  Now, I start another phase, as caregiver for my elderly mother.  My Blog title before was Therefore will not we fear... from Psalm 46.  Most of the time we didn't, but when we did, the blog title was there to remind me that God had it in the palm of his hand.  As I reflected on the title, I knew, that His Word was no less important and fear no less manageable, but I realized that a new title perhaps reflected the purpose and direction of my writings. The Journey.  Life is one.  All of life.  Not just the brief time we spend on this earth but the whole of it.  It is an exciting trip, a boring trip, a sometimes difficult, sometimes painful trip.  But a trip ...

The Blessings of Love

I have spent several hours this evening going through the records that we have collected from Orin's treatment trying to be sure that we have what we need for this consult Friday with Dr Williamson.. As many of you know, I kind of like to write things down.... and what a blessing I had tonight... as I went through my calendar to get the dates right on this scan and that...OVER and OVER I read.. we got a card today from Charlotte, or Lea, or June etc... or today Donovan brought orin a strawberry shake, or Tom and Nichelle were here to visit, or Ann called or Rod called or Pastor was by to see orin and on and on and on with so many enteries... each reminding me of the love and care we have gotten from nearly everyone we know.. thank you thank you. Your love sustains us.
