I know this is not like most of my stories, but life piling up. Dad died this May and we have driven 7,000  miles in the last few months interrupting my garden weeding and planting. My house is a mess with many projects started and nothing finished.

Today I went out to look at my garden to find some creature is eating my peas as they come up. A few years ago it was a vole that ate the seeds as soon as they were planted, now it is a chipmunk climbing my  fence to eat his fill of strawberries and peas and other new sprouting vegetables.

What I know is God still LOVES ME and that He is going to strengthen me as I keep pushing forward!

Today I pushed past my fear and tried a new dinner,  Tuscan-Herbed Chicken over Creamy Tomato Linguine. Someone sent us one of those dinners that come with all the ingredients to make a fine restaurant stile dinner in an hour. The most impressive part of this is I ate the noodles and almost enjoyed them.

Hopefully tomorrow will have sunshine instead of the rain pouring and I will push past whatever it is that is stopping me from getting into my raspberries! My favorite fruit! The fruit is on the vine ready to pick but something has kept me from digging into them.

Maybe I am still processing the death of our dad. I will soon write something on him, this man who saved me but didn’t know how to deal with a broken child. But God has a way of healing the broken heart.

God Bless each of you with LOVE AND PEACE Filling your daily life.
