Melting snow and ice and a big dose of sunshine are making me hopeful that it will actually start looking and feeling like Spring soon!

Quoted from "Letters to a Young Poet"
"Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without the fear that after them may come no summer. It does come. But it comes only to the patient, who are there as though eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly still and wide. I learn it daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful: patience is everything!"- Rainer Maria Rilke
Sharing
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,"-- 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This verse struck me today. I started thinking about all the versions of the Bible I have access to and all the other books about Jesus that I've read. I realized that I read about Him but I keep the Good News to myself. I need to get out there and talk about Him and share what I know to be truth, from the Word and from my own experiences, with others I meet especially if they don't have the gift of Jesus in their lives.
Lord, help me to be a light in the darkness to the people you put in my path! Guide me to gently and respectfully share Your Truth.

My Portion
"Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."-- Psalm 73:25,26 (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Though my life doesn't usually reflect it, deep in my heart I know this verse is true. Focus, or lack of focus, and fear are very big stumbling blocks for me that cause me to veer away from God, though He is truly my deepest desire. Like the potter focuses on the clay visually and physically, I need to work on keeping myself focused on my Lord because He is all that truly matters in this life. When I am in tune with God, my fear slips away and everything just seems to fall into place.
Lord, I love You and I want to be with You more than anything on this earth. Help me keep my eyes on the goal!

Papa Smurf ROCKS!!!
I added the PEZ on the left to my collection this week! I've wanted this dispenser for quite some time. I've had the one on the right for a while, but the new one (which is actually the older design) is WAY cooler in my opinion!!! [Smurf PEZ were never released in the U.S. and I believe all of them are currently out of production.]
More from my collection: Papa with Smurfette and a vintage male smurf.photos (c) 2008 by DKF

Future PEZheads?!?
I took some of my duplicate PEZ to share with my 3 and 4 year olds at work and needless to say they LOVED them, even though there was no candy! It's fun when "my kids" embrace things that I really enjoy too! Maybe I'll have a part in starting a new generation of PEZheads!!
