And some haven't shared for awhile, for their lives have been busy and contrary to popular belief it is actually summer and vacations are being taken,but I know they will be back and I will be ready to read.

As for me I share my thanks and salute my friends and families differences.
I enjoy checking your blogs daily. They make me laugh cry ponder but most of all they fill my heart with Joy as I am privy and blessed to be included in the sharing of your lives.
The best part is
Tomorrow or perhaps days from now each one will share something different.

You are my Bits and Bites
every reading is a whole new ballgame.

Someone is Sleeping In My Bed

For the last 26 years of marriage Steve and I have a routine in the morning.

When the routine changes one notices.

Not necessarily me

Every morning (Unless I work at 8am)

Steve gets up goes downstairs has his breakfast and comes upstairs and showers.

After his shower he comes into the bedroom to get dressed for work.

When he is done he leans over the bed kisses me goodbye and leaves.

Of late our new addition comes upstairs meows as daddy has left her then watches him from the window as he drives away.

She then hops from window to bed and cuddles with mom.

Purring her little heart out.

This morning Steve did not kiss me goodbye and the sound that came from the cat was more of a something is wrong meow.

I rolled over to comfort her and that is when I discovered what her problem was.

96lbs of Reggie in Daddies/Lizzies spot.

The nerve!

Seriously she was so upset she stomped down the stairs meowing all the way.

Happy Canada Day
Have a Safe and Wonderful Day
God Bless

Your way or the Highway

Have you ever followed?

Who do you follow?

Man or God?

When something is wrong with the picture what choice do you make?

Do you stick with the crowd or do you follow what is right in your heart?

It's so easy in situations in our lives to be swayed by the crowd,by their opinions.

I think we tend to do this because we fear rejection of man.

Perhaps this is in our nature

but

What does God want us to do?

Have you taken the time to sit back and ask?

.

I ran into a situation yesterday not of my own but of anothers.

As I listened to what they had to say I was hearing what they were not saying.

They were saying things have changed

I also heard they had changed because of anothers opinion.

Although this was never stated out loud.

This person was lost and couldn't see why.

The hadn't recognized that they were inadvertently choosing a belief or side that was not of their own but because of care and concern for the others hurt.

They were just being supportive.

We have all done this at one point or another in our lives and the odds we may do it again are great.

Proverbs 26:17

" He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears."

Have you ever grabbed a dog by the ears?

I have and the scars have been deep.

Not from the bite but of the time I have missed with God.

People and places change over time.

Some for the better some not

but regardless

God wants us to put him first not man.

Do you praise God because of it

or praise despite of it?

We are to do both.

Is life all about you and what you want?

or is it about what God wants for your life.

Is it your way or the highway

or is it

His way and all the highways will be yours to travel.

We miss being comfortable

We hate it when friends change for better or worse

sometimes they leave us

and sometimes they come back.

Perhaps they leave for the greater good

or perhaps they leave because it's their way or the highway.

Regardless of their calling or choices

they are missed in the family of God.

Last question

Do you do Gods work by lifting the hands of our leadership

or do you rely on the man to lift your hands?
