In Memory of Van Polk (4)

Rest In Peace

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that my friend is gone. The thought of only seeing her in pictures and /or old video is one I find hard to bear. It's amazing when you think about how often we take the relationships we have with others for granted. She called me a few days before her passing because she couldn't find Oprah's new network on her Canadian station. We'll I wasn't much interested in Oprah's network and didn't know what channel it was on on the US station so I figured I'd call her back when I knew something. After a couple of days had gone by one of my friends on facebook had a site with Oprah's information and it appeared that there wasn't a station for Canada. I'd been meaning to call her and tell her that but knowing how resourceful she was I figured she'd found it. That was the last message I received and will ever receive from her. The thought of that brings tears to my eyes. People...

With elegance and grace he's weaved his way into facets of me Awakening feelings I never knew existed Entry into my heart this man has been given With the ability to view areas not seen by the natural eye Or touch by a loving hand This man The one I didn't believe exist Yet, prayed for endlessly Has shined a light where darkness dwell and emptiness called home A corner where dreams of true love had long been hiding in the shadows of someone else's life Someone else's love Some one else's dream And some else's reality What a difference God makes when prays are left at his feet To know that he finds no concern meaningless Our cares are his cares our desires his desires He takes the purity and concerns residing in his child's heart to the greatest height For He- himself is a lover One who loves in the purest form Endlessly Effortlessly Honestly Eternally Only asking that our faith and trust be in Him With this belief He's provided a s...

Red Truck of Mercy

That’s it, I quit, I give up!! That’s right I’m throwing in the towel, waving the white flag. I’m finish, I’m done. If I never see snow again it will be too soon for me. I just finished working an eight hour overnight shift and the last thing I want to do is shovel. As a child I couldn’t wait until it snowed. My cousins and I would spend hours playing in the snow we were supposed to be shoveling. Now when the weather man predicts snow I hope and pray he’s wrong. I thank God for snow blowers, plows, and throwers. Unfortunately my little snow throwers are gone for the weekend, I don’t have a snow blower and didn’t reach my neighbor who has a snow plow until I was half way done. The bible says to give thanks in all things. When I saw him pull up in his red truck I said ‘Thank you Lord, because you know I’m tired'. A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing…. (Proverbs 17:22 ) Merry Christmas & God Bless
