Mushrooms and Squirrels

SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE MUSHROOMS LIKE THIS!
RIGHT IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD.


Hahaha.
I took about a million pics.
Because.
Well because.

I've never seen mushrooms like this before.

Looks fake, no?

But it's totally not. It's real.

And THIS ONE!

WHOA, eh?

Today was stunning.
After a week of rain, today's weather was a gift.

So we went for a walk.

Thank you, God.
For this weekend.

Especially today.

God?
Can I pray for our vehicles?
Clint's. Mine. My dad's. Drew's, And Danica's.
You know the issues.
Just going to trust that you'll give us a hand.

Thank you for seasons.
Thank you for making Autumn such a colorful one.

THAT was a good idea for us summer lovers.
If we have to say good bye to sunny days, at least we have colourful days to look forward to.

God?
I pray for your wisdom this week.
Fill my mind and mouth with thoughts and words that come from you.

I'm second-guessing much of what I've said and done this past week, and I hate that.
The second-guessing part.
I'd rather have peace.

So, I'm asking for wisdom right up front, even before this next week starts.
Muzzle my mouth if I'm going to say something stupid, unkind, sarcastic or hurtful.

Sigh.
Sometimes it feels like I'm always praying about the same things. (People with addictions, marriages, new babies, folks who need jobs, entertainment industry, unrest/wars in other parts of the world, our leaders, my kids ...) Are you tired of me going on about it over and over again?

Or are You OK with my nagging/begging/pleading/asking?

Thank you.
For, like, everything.
This life.
This corner of the world.
This day.
This place to live.

Thank you for loving me,

Thank you for loving my kids.
Can you put an extra hedge of protection around them this week?
Hold them close?
Guide their footsteps?
Open and close doors according to Your will for their lives?
Woo them?

Amen.
