It's Worth It!

Well, I am still trying to figure this thing out. Details bother me and I just want to get on with the real thing so I guess I'll just write and hope to figure out some of the other stuff later (like how to post pictures!). In the meantime, I hope someone out there is enjoying my writing for I still don't know why there are problems making comments. I just kept trying till it worked so you may have to use some persistance, too. Signing in as anonymous worked for me in the end. So all's well that ends well.



I love the blue, blue Kansas sky! We may not have mountains, lakes and trees but you can't beat our wide-open sky! The sun was shining this morning and beckoning me out for a walk. I donned my coat and gloves and tripped out the lane. It was a lovely morning but I soon got bogged down telling God about my problems, which seem many and huge right now. As I trudged along with my nose to the ground, I suddenly thought to look up. What a gorgeous expanse of blue sky stretching in every direction. I strained my eyes to see if I might get a glimpse of God smiling down on me and wondered how far up there He really is? But is He "up there" or is that just some illusion we have? Whether He's up there or not I KNOW He is down here with me. And God who made the big, huge sky is bigger yet!



I heard the song "When I Get Where I'm Going" this morning. This is one of my favorites and I hope to have it sung at my funeral. No, I'm not trying to be morbid, just planning ahead. I'm going to post the lyrics here:

When I Get Where I'm Going

by Brad Paisley

When I get where I'm going

on the far side of the sky.

The first thing that I'm gonna do

is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,

and run my fingers through his mane.

Or I might find out what it's like

to ride a drop of rain.

Chorus:

Yeah when I get where I'm going,

there'll be only happy tears.

I will shed the sins and struggles,

I have carried all these years.

And I'll leave my heart wide open,

I will love and have no fear.

Yeah when I get where I'm going,

Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my granddaddy,

and he'll match me step for step,

and I'll tell him how I missed him,

every minute since he left.

Then I'll hug his neck.

So much pain and so much darkness,

in this world we stumble through.

All these questions, I can't answer,

so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,

and I see my Maker's face.

I'll stand forever in the light,

of His amazing grace.

Yeah when I get where I'm going,

there'll be only happy tears.

Hallelujah!

I will love and have no fear.

When I get where I'm going.

Yeah when I get where I'm going.
