ThingsI love

It is unbelieveable the things that I love---the quiet of the morning when all the world is asleep or at least not passing by my door---hot coffee in a cup--any cup is fine--my cat Tucker lying at my feet like an old faithful hound dog- at least that is what I have heard that hound dogs are like-I asked him this morning if he loved to be loved or just the feeling of being safe and with the familiar--as always he licked any part of my anatomy that would hold still for him-I have told him a million,million times--I HATE being licked by any cat any where any time at least as much as I would hate sandpaper rubbed against my skin--I understand that he can not help himself so I must help him--'Tucker,go lay down and leave me in peace' and he reluctantly obeys.
I love cloudy rainey days except my body aches everywhere but it is soothing to my mind--oh--thunderstorms complete with big black clouds and lightening--oh-h-h the thunder--I love to hear the thunder--I am told there are low rumbles that I can not hear--my, how I would enjoy the low rumble of thunder--I love the power and majesty of God displayed in the driving rain--His gentleness in the patters on my roof--no I can't hear the patters but I can see the wee shower and can imagine what it must sound like--not the waterfall of driving rain.
I love my grandsons,Joel and Zach as they cuddle next to me warm from the nights rest--the smiles on their face to see me there at the computor---"Grammy,I'm hungry" "No my funny Grand sons--you are Joel and Zach,not Hungry,you may have empty tummy's--sometimes Zach especially enjoys the delectible taste of something I have prepared and in between chews "Grammy,you're the greatest" Do I love that or what!!!
I love my daughters hugs when I see them,the sound of their voices,the thoughts and experiences they share with me.Their laughter,I love to hear them laugh--I always have.As long as God gives me breath--I know I always will. I love my son's chuckle when I tell him in concluding our phone conversation-"I love you like a fat boy loves cake"We share the love of Sweets we both know the drastic surgery of denying that love entrance to our digestive system.we are vulnerable to diabetes--a dread robber of our pleasures.My son's chuckle--yeah--I love that.
I love that I was born to be able to see in color--dark green trees against a dark cloudy sky--my neighbor's red shop with a white roof,his house red brick with a dark roof against dark green trees and stormy sky!How I love color--the yellow motorcycle that sits for sale at the dealership--my how people walk over and admire it--I wouldn't dare ride it--I would be distracted by the brightness and beauty of yellow like sunshine in which case it would be a mangled yellow motorcycle--
I love old hymns--Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty-Good Christian Men Rejoice--What a friend we have in Jesus--and my Grandmothers favorite,How Great Thou Art page 32 verse two--When thru the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze-Then sings my soul,My Saviour God to Thee;How great Thou art,how great thou art!Then sings my soul,My Saviour God to Thee:How great Thou art.How great Thou art.
And when I think that God,His Son not sparing,Sent Him to die,I scarce can take it in....Yes, I love the greatness of God and the littleness of me--I love that He watches over the sparrow and that He watches over me and provides me bandaides when I skin my knee or smash my finger while shuting my front door as I did yesterday as I was leaving to go into town to buy screws so I could finnish putting my shop table together--it bled so much that I had to go back in the house and apply drawing salve and a bandaide--I love that God created the ones who manufacture bandaides and drawing salve--it has to be a fair income--everybody needs them at some point--they come in color--today mine is orange.
As Tom T Hall sang--I love coffee in a cup--I have had mine-and Sunday school in May--I need to get ready to go there today.We only have one more Sunday in May.
