I Hurt Too…

I’ve been doing some thinking and I thought I should clear some air. I think maybe I come across as Pollyanna, living in a world of pink and ruffles.

I don’t, I live in this world just like you. I have a spouse, children, grandchildren. I have bills, woes, aches and pains just like everyone else. I lose people I love to death, I cry, I have emotions just like everyone else.

So why do I write these sometimes silly devotions about my stuffed animals that might talk, gnomes and fairies in my garden, leprechauns in the redwood forests who migrated from Ireland. Why, because life is hard enough and if I can take a different view, and turn clouds into cotton balls then why not. If I choose to look at the flowers instead of the weeds then why not.

Some may relate to my silliness some may not and for that I’m sorry. I also realize I am just a nobody who is trying to share our Lords love. I don’t have degrees on my walls, didn’t go to big fancy college and don’t sport any title. I instead went through Life University.

So, I do have plenty of skinned knees, broken hearts, smashed dreams, with lessons learned the hardest way. What my heart wishes to share is not book knowledge but the unconditional love of Our Lord.

God the Father loved us so much that even in our filth, he sent his one and only son…to walk with us, teach as many as he could and to set the example for generations to come. Jesus, God in human flesh loves us so much that he took a horrible beating, and mocking unto death, for those then and the future generations to come.

So, I come to you each morning, after prayer; in which I ask the Lord for his words and guidance and if that happens to bring a fresh outlook or a smile…that’s exactly what it was meant to do. I’m not trying to change you or your world just hoping to add to it. When the love and peace of our Lord reigns, life can be a bit more pink with ruffles. It’s Sunday, Be Blessed and Thank you for joining me.🥰
