Sassy Granny: Live and Let Live

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/07/live-and-let-live.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Live and Let Live. It's a trap. "It" being just about everything with which I disagree these days. You name it, the things that ensnare me. From feelings of annoyance to outright anger; from frustration to discouragement the list goes on and on:. Television programming; political rancor and all things politically expedient. Morality, or the lack thereof. Jabber jaw media commentary.

Sassy Granny: Remembering to Remember

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/05/remembering-to-remember.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Every time I think life cannot get any better, it does. Many times when I thought life could not get any worse, it did. So I remind myself that the best is always yet to come. Wherever I am today high or low or in-between the promise of better, greater things is as sure as sunrise. Truly we must remember to remember that. So we do not lost heart. Though our outer self. Is wasting away,.

Sassy Granny: Mother on My Mind

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/05/mother-on-my-mind.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Saturday, May 9, 2015. Mother on My Mind. I stood there looking at heaven's rays. Thinking I might just grab a gaze. Of her brown eyes or gnarled hands. Where she now lives in heaven's lands. I held my breath and willed a prayer. As if she might descend a stair;. Coming near with tender touch. I longed to see her, oh so much. The years have ripened since she went;. My own life nearly all but spent. Oh, oh, ...

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/01/well-hello-there-empty-canvas.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Thursday, January 1, 2015. Well Hello There Empty Canvas. As I crafted my So Long 2014.

Come now, let us settle the matter,". Though your sins are like scarlet. They shall be as white as snow;. Although they are red as crimson,. Color out...

Sassy Granny: Primary Colors

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/01/primary-colors.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Saturday, January 10, 2015. The only thing worse than being blind. Is having sight but no vision. Imagine the Crayola world of a child. Regardless of age or prowess, and with little need to be adroit they can conjure a world of squiggles and stickmen to rival Picasso; squiggles that translate to a castle or space flight or a talking dinosaur; squiggles that adorn a refrigerator as if the Louvre. From faith,...

Sassy Granny: Lessons from the Apple Orchard

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/06/lessons-from-apple-orchard.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Sunday, June 7, 2015. Lessons from the Apple Orchard. Just a year ago, when first we settled here in the Okanogan Valley, this place was altogether foreign to me. It's the apple orchard that runs adjacent to one of the cherry orchards that surround our home. The trees are quite old thick, gnarled branches firmly fixed to their sap-saturated trunks. It made me sort of sad. These old, productive, fruit-bearin...

Sassy Granny: 11th Hour Wins

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/01/11th-hour-wins.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Monday, January 19, 2015. It's not whether you get knocked down;. It's whether you get up. Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. I confess to being a fair-weather sports enthusiast. I'm not into most of it, yet I find it hard not to join the 12th Man and champion my Seahawks (notice the possessive form there .). The opponent (think enemy, the world) can play the better game and still not win. Some of ...

Sassy Granny: Life's Intersections

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/04/lifes-intersections.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Wednesday, April 1, 2015. I've never really given much thought to the beauty of the traffic signal's simplicity; the primary colors used as indices to stop. With such a clever tutor at my disposal, I confess to my love of life's green the yes. With it I'm allowed to move forward unimpeded; since I'm given to. Decisiveness, the momentum suits me just fine. Green's also my favorite color! Besides being a shad...

Sassy Granny: Coloring Book Wisdom

http://sassygranny.blogspot.com/2015/02/coloring-book-wisdom.html

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Great necessities call out great virtues. For many years I had a large Christmas cookie tin full of crayons in various stages of life: some long, barely used; others broken or near-nubs. They've long ago vanished, but today I remember them. I still prefer the perfect ones. On so many levels that is a truth that confronts me often; sometimes daily. Oh how I love the perfects.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord. (Ps 19:14). Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Jesus spoke these things; and lifting His. Eyes to heaven . John 17:1 (in part). I raised my eyes toward. Heaven and my reason returned to me .". What a simple concept: Look up. Many were the days of my childhood when I lay upon a grassy cushion to watch the sky. My imagination was vivid in those days, so it fired on all pistons when I'd survey the placement of clouds or a sta...
