An introduction

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk
 in the light of your presence, O LORD.  Psalm 89:15

There are several verses in Holy Scripture that speak to walking in the light of The Lord.  That is how I see myself, how I strive to live my life, by walking in front of the Lord as He illuminates my path before me.  I am an ordinary person, a humble woman who He selected to walk apart as his servant and handmaiden.  I relish the fact that he did choose me before the creation of the world to live the path he chose for me in this wonderful time and season.  He blessed me with a loving family, children and now grandchildren.  He also blessed me with so many friends and relatives, all dear and loved and yet if I should feel lonely, He is there as my most important significant other to love and calm and fulfill me.  Although living in this world is not easy and for the faint at heart, He alone gives me the strength, courage and means by which to serve him.  On occasion I may wander a little to left or right of the light, but it doesn't take long for me to feel his gentle tug or push into the narrow path of his loving and warm light ahead.  He is a gentle, loving and joyful Master who has an amazing sense of humor and who provides me with JOY for life.  I don't deserve it one bit, but by His Grace, he has given me the very best.

The reason I have decided to write this blog is to share some of the blessings, thoughts, meditations and memories from my walk in His Light.  I have often wanted to share memories when I find or see photos of loved ones or events from our life as a family.  Sometimes I read or receive words I would like to share with friends and anyone who is interested in reading them.  I simply ask you to overlook my grammatical and writing errors for even though I do have an education, I like to talk and share faster than write and I often overlook errors. 

My plan is to write from things happening in my life in it's various circles.  Check in from time to time and you will see what I mean.  You will be hearing about some memories about a few family members whose photos I recently found, about my sister's amazing gift for cooking, maybe even my daughter's similar gift.  About the food distribution project my church has initiated, special events, healings, conferences, and lots of church related things going on in my world.  I have a few hobbies I will probably share and perhaps a book review or movie review or two.  You will hear about my grandbaby and the new one soon to make her appearance.  Well, who knows, but I trust that you will be able to receive a blessing and perhaps a few laughs from my blog and that you will send me comments and ideas. 

I look forward to sharing with you.   Jeannee
