God is With Us

The dogs started barking and as I walked past the front door, a vehicular shape beside the pickup, caught my eye.  Looking out I saw a bobcat clearing the drive.  Yahoo!!   Grabbing coat and gloves, I ran outside. 

What a beautiful site to see all the snow getting blown out into the yard!  Hagan Construction was imprinted on the cab of the bobcat. It is the construction company that is building a house down the road.

The driver stopped and jumped out.  A wonderful young man then helped me pull the pickup out of the snow bank and then finished clearing the roadway!     I offered to pay him, but he said no.  He just wanted to help.  He must have been an angel sent by the Lord!  Thank you, Lord.

Tomorrow I will go to town and have the pickup checked out and oil changed.  Life is good.

Day Two

New Year's Day sales were fantastic.   Super buys found were a dog bed and a kitty bed for $10/ea!!!  Also, did other shopping...I forgot how much fun it is to hit sales!  I also forgot how quickly those dollars add up. 

Heading home--a southwest wind was blowing across the prairie, drifting in the roads.  The pickup was bouncing through the drifts, as though we were riding on waves.  Then, while coming up the drive at home, I high-centered, and there I sat in my little pickup, going no-where. 

Today was spent shoveling and digging out snow! Still stuck, but I did make headway.

The Lord must have heard my New Years resolution to start exercising!  He also knows how I procrastinate--so...day two and already exercising!   Thank you, Lord. 

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

May all the kindness and love that you gave this year be returned to you many times over in the coming year!

God bless you!  And if you do not know the Lord, May He come to you this year!  Happy New Years!

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you:

May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home

And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.
