God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED, to help you, to leave you, to love you, and to make you into the person that you were meant to be.........
A dear friend sent me this and I thought I would share it with you, isn't it so true, we don't have the whole picture, we try to write our own story, and forget that God is writing it with us, we need to listen, have faith and remember who is ultimately in charge....I get so busy I forget to be still, to be quiet, to stop talking......I want to remember what my standard is and show up each and everyday with that in tact, sometimes I don't do that, because I get busy and busy just isn't a good excuse anymore........
( this picture was taken when were on our alaska cruise)
Tracey,
More words to live by -
Live simply. Love generously. Speak kindly. Care deeply. Leave the rest to God.
Believe in yourself...
something wonderful is in store for you.
Love,
Anita

Hi Tracey: You're doing smashing in the blogging dept. -- today's post is a 'stirred just right' thought to chew over (& the photo twinned with the words -- 'bang-on'!). Just want you to know that it's appreciated........a lot.
God Bless,
Barbra.

Tracey haven't been able to visit in couple of wks because I was at our cottage in Canada and no tv omputer etc. Was able to read Tracey's message about moving and I have been feeling so sad for you. But you are amazing and now I see why you two have had such a connection you are both such warm giving individuals. I can just see your emails flying back and forth. Luv your new pic and the new look. Can't wait to visit longer but have to get ready for 4 days on the road but will be taking my notebook to catch up with all of my virtual friends. Isn't this a great tool to connect with so many awesome people. Again you are great, pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Can't wait for more blogs and recipes from you Diane
