Taking a Break

"There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind."
~ C. S. Lewis ~ 

There is simply nothing left to give.
Hopefully, that will change.
In the meantime, as God brings you to mind, 
you'll be tucked in prayer.
Please, return the kindness.

  28. You are where I have been "feeling" and tempted. I love blogging and all the friends I have made (& you are a special friend ), but sometimes it is good to step back and away.( from many things ) I know you're one to step in when you feel God wants you there, and also for others who need you. Bless you Sandra.

  29. Blessings to you my friend. Praying for our Lord to fill you up again. Asking Him to pour His love and grace and mercy into your life until He overflows. Then, once again, you will be able to share His love. There are many who need your wisdom . . . don't be gone too long :)!

  35. Thinking of you, Sandra, with prayers. You have been such a blessing to me and to so many others. I have a link to your blog on my smart phone so I can read entries from your blog at work (which is when I most need some common-sense Sandra!) Mostly, I snatch a glimpse as I hurry down the hall to a meeting or wait for the rest of the meeting participants to show up. I hope you didn't get tired out from attending all those meetings in Raleigh, LOL. You are really on my heart today; I will pray a little longer this weekend for you and all the things you have mentioned in your blog. Blessings.

  39. Hi Quinn
    trying to answer my back e-mails and will, probably, never catch up. Won't stop me from trying though . A break was good, glad to be back.

    Hi Vic, Sadie loves her hugs, kisses as well.

    Hi Patty - A break was needed and good, glad to be back. Thank you and your Bible study group for your prayers. I'm wearing down fast...

    Hi Lynne - it was a good break, thank you so much.

  40. Thanks, Karen. It was a good break.

    Sure, Gretchen. I can knit and purl with the best of 'em. LOL

    Bless you, Becky. I'm just so weary of going it alone.
    I NEED to be with my family.

    Love that Lewis quote, as well, Lisa.

    Bless you, Noreen. I just got so tired.

    Hi Donna, you're welcome and thank you back. -grin-

    Thanks, Karen; it was a good break. Maybe not long enough but good enough.

    Hi Hilary, nope, you didn't miss much; I'm just tired and worn out and need to be near family. The best I could do was take a break.

    Marsha, thank you.

    Goatldi, thank you and give the critters a hug and kiss for me.

    You're right, Linda, it was a good thing!

    Hi Linda Sue - I don't want to stop blogging but I did enjoy the break.

    Not enough rest, Mary Katherine, but some.

    Lisa - thank you so much.

    It was a good break, just not long enough. I really need to be closer to family.

    Hi Mee - thank you and think of you, moving into your dream farm. Please let me know how it's going for you and the family.

  41. Hi Dori, thank you, love and prayers to you and yours.

    Susan, bless you for your wisdom; I put my trust in Him.

    I'm not sure what to say other than I'm in tears over your kindness to me. God has been so good to let me use the blog to tell other people He loves them. Thank you for letting me know you've been blessed.

    (Now, please, please, please forgive me...I'm really struggling with my memory tonight and can't recall your name. I am so very sorry; please forgive me.)

    I almost did -lol-.

    (Having huge problems with memory tonight; just am teary eyed and can't pull it together. Please forgive me for not recalling your name but I can see your face! Please forgive me.)

    Thank you, Mrs. D., thank you.

    Still looking, Lisa, still looking. She's a love bug though and might have to stay.
