AUGUST 15 - GIFTS OF FAMILY

My mom's family... she, the oldest of twelve,
top left. At 75, she jumped out of a plane.
She's now 91, and just took a ride on my
brother's motorcycle. Way to go, mom...

Mom had her family... I'm standing next to her.

She became an interior decorator in So. Calif.

This is late 1960's... 

And then I grew up, and had my family.

I've had plenty of motorcycle rides... 

home-birthed and home-schooled my babies,

and now I'm ready for the next adventure.

Just so long as we keep in touch,

this wonderful family of ours.

Wait for me!!!

AUGUST 14 - A GIFT IN A RING, CURVE AND SPHERE

________________________________________

A floral ring crowns a delicate child...

what a gift she is.

________________________________________

Another more serious growth, a ring of thorns,
crowned another Head.
What a gift this was... this thing that should have been mine.

________________________________________

When life throws me a curve,
I remember it will never be more than I can handle.
God gifted me with a celestial reminder...
He keeps His promises.

________________________________________

The gift of God at the center of my world
will be revealed in all the spheres of my life.
Am I revealing this Truth in my world?
