Ants!

Grandpa’s Farm Series

ANTS!

I remember the ants…
Red, stinging, biting ants!
Ants in my pants,
Ants in my shoes,
Ants in my hair,
I was covered with BIG RED ANTS!

Ouch! I cried as I stood up and stomped
Swiping my hair
Pounding my bottom
Scuffing my shoes
MOM!! I yelled…

Now I was running!
Running away from those. Old red ants.
A quick bath
A new outfit
Different shoes
Combed hair

AAAAH!! A tootsie pop
Life just doesn’t get much better than that,
When you’re seven.

A Sanctuary

A place of refuge is my Lord.
In silence I go out to greet Him.
I long to be known and to be fully known.
My inner desire is for Jesus.

Jesus the Master of my soul,
Each day is new before Him.
Oh how sweet is His presence and
His daily LOVE,
Moment by moment with Him.

Journal Entry – July 20, 2008

It’s not how you behave
when things go well,
but how you behave
when you face trials and disappointments,
that defines you.

It’s not how nicely you can treat people
when you face them
but what you say behind their back
when no one is listening
that defines you.

It is not what you think,
but what actually comes
out of your mouth
that defines you.

What Defines You?
