Afternoon With A Granddaughter
Middle of the afternoon ... sitting in the local Braum's on a rainy day in Kansas, writing. With nine-year-old granddaughter, Juliette. She is coloring a sheet of various angels I have drawn and made copies of.
We came for lunch; girls' day out. Used my Braum's gift-card Christmas gift for the first time. Juliette's two brothers went back to Kansas City for the week with their Mom. We'll meet halfway in a couple of days to return Juliette. I'll miss her. She's my little co-artist. We've been "doing art" since she's been here. And staying up late, in front of the t.v. and the wood-burning stove (while "doing" the art).
Grandpa leaves it to us. He's not a stay-up-late-in-front-of-the-t.v.-and-stove person. He's more the get-up-early-and-let-us-sleep-late kind of person. And doesn't complain about it. Granddaughter and wife are grateful.
Juliette lives in Kansas City, Missouri - about three and a half hours from us, so we don't get together all that often. My husband is a pastor and must be here on week-ends; but week-ends are when she and her family are free. However, she and her brothers are the grandkids (we have eight of them) we see most often. The others are spread around: one granddaughter lives in California, two granddaughters and two grandsons (all siblings) are near Chicago. Bummer! Our four children are in California, Colorado, Missouri and Illinois. How great would it be to live close to your kids and grandkids?! Guess it depends on whether you like 'em or not (we like ours)! ha
Getting noisy in here. When we first came in there were only two others, but now it's a little after four and more and more are drifting in. A couple of tables are filled with afternoon "coffee-and-conversation" people.
Probably should be leaving. Need to get to the grocery store. We are in desperate need of some GREEN "stuff" ... lettuce, greens, green beans, etc. Too many Christmas goodies and not enough of the "green stuff". After the grocery store we'll swing by the library. Juliette wanted to make sure she still has a "working" library card here in Nonny and Papou's little town (she does).
Then, home.
It's been a pleasant little afternoon with Juliette. Wish we could do it more often. Well, SOMEtimes is better than NO times. Right?

Rainbows Over Suffering
"By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion." (the Bible / Psalm 137:1 / NIV)
David, of the Psalms, wrote this ... though for a different reason, I, too, am "sitting by the rivers of Babylon, weeping and remembering". Weeping for friends who are sad, frightened and suffering at the moment: cancer, death, waiting a diagnosis, etc. Praying that God will heal, will comfort. Praying that He will, indeed, stretch that rainbow over each of their lives, as well as over the lives of their friends and families who are right there for them. I sit by the waters of Babylon and wish there was no suffering. For them. For me.
I've been reading a book by Philip Yancey,Prayer, Does It Make Any Difference?, reading today from chapter 15, "The Sound Of Silence".
"At that moment I needed prayer as much as I needed air
to draw my breath or oxygen to fill my blood ....
A void was behind me. And in front a wall, a wall of darkness."
-Georges Bernanos-
That's about how I feel right now; my friends, who are in the midst of their suffering, even more so. Prayers have been going up, right and left, from so many, from so many countries .. yet, we see that some of those prayers will not be answered as we wished them to be. One friend's breast cancer will STAY breast cancer. Why, God? A young couple's child may, right at this moment, be dying. Is THAT an answer to ALL THOSE PRAYERS, God????? The parents are feeling strongly that "void" behind them - and that "wall of darkness" in front of them. They SO need to see that rainbow. Oh, God, please paint it over their heads right now at this very moment. Pierce that wall of darkness with the peaceful beauty of the rainbow. Let them feel Your presence with them, even as their hearts are breaking - REALLY feel Your presence!
"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therfore we will not fear,
though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into
the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake
with their surging." (the Bible / Psalm 46:1-3 /NIV)
We DO, of course, fear; we DO experience the pain and sadness of suffering. You DO understand that, God. After all, You created us - with our human feelings and emotions. David felt those same fears, pains, sufferings. Yet, he also knew You were there - even when he was feeling the doubts; beneath it all he KNEW You were there for him. I'm praying right now that, even if I am angry, sad, not understanding about the WHY of the things happening to my friends that I, too, as well as my suffering friends, will also remember, as did David, that You ARE there for us. You DO understand. You stand ready with Your arms wide open to receive us, to comfort us as we struggle through the "roaring and foaming" waters; as we dodge those cracks in the earth and the falling mountains. Show them the rainbow, God! Let them see again the promise that You are with them, that You do understand their pain and heartache.
In his book, Philip Yancey speaks of how we often want those "happy endings". Oh, do we ever! A grief pastor of a church in Colorado is quoted: "Evangelicals tend to want to get to the happy ending. Sometimes there is no happy ending, and we're simply suspended in grief. When I'm with suffering people, I feel like a deep-sea diver accompanying them into the depths. Come up too fast, and you'll dangerously decompress. We need to stay with the grief for a while, feel it, let it out. Maybe we can see things through tears that we can't see dry-eyed."
Yancey adds: "Not only does God tolerate complaint in our prayers, the Scriptures fill in the words for us. Eugene Peterson calculates that two-thirds of the psalms qualify as laments. The Bible does not rush to a happy ending."
There are happy endings. And there are not. I am praying for the happy endings. I will not completely understand WHY, if there are not happy endings. When I am too sad or angry or whatever to continue praying for the happy endings, I will rely on the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, to "fill in the words for me". I will make the clear decision to "stay" with God; to turn, once again, into His waiting arms for comfort. To put the burden of not understanding/agreeing with how God chooses to handle my prayers into His hands.
God, show me the rainbow over all the suffering. Most importantly of all, Lord, make that rainbow bright and shiny and beautiful over the hearts of my friends who are in the midst of the suffering. Let them see it as the promise that You ARE with them; You ARE with their loved ones; You DO understand and feel their suffering - the promise that You will never leave them alone in their storms.

Teenagers and Pregnancy
Teenagers and Pregnancy
Chuck Colson says parents and sex-educators are afraid to say the truth: that sex outside of marriage is WRONG. Period. God says so. He says its wrong for any number of reasons; but NOT because He wants to deprive us or our kids of fun and pleasure. On the contrary, He wants all of us to know the peaceful-no-guilt-feelings of love and pleasure that comes with enjoying sex in the right way: inside of marriage, between a husband and wife. The years of throwing out God's laws on sexual behavior have not resulted in less teen pregnancies, or less sexually transmitted diseases, or less abortions. It DOES seem to have resulted in girls/women once again, too often, being regarded as purely sexual satisfaction for the boys/men. Where are the feminists yelling against this???? God's moral laws don't seem so bad, after all, huh?

Mmmmm ... Smell That?
Now that the hot summer temperatures are finally starting to disappear I can turn the oven on again. And I have. Baking is once again a kitchen activity around here. Homemade biscuits. Muffins. Bread. Cakes. Not EVERYday, mind you - have to watch the old waist line. But often enough to send good smells wafting throughout the house.
Husband and grandson certainly appreciate opening the door and smelling delicious odors from the kitchen. Always hoping I am planning to give them a taste. I often remember coming home from school and walking into a kitchen with something baking. Mmmmmm - smelled so nice. As a mom to four hungry schoolkids myself, all grown up now, I often tried to have something baking and/or cooking when the kids got home from school. They may not remember much of it now - but I sure do. I hope our after-school-kitchen-odors have contributed to their "remember when ..." stories they now tell to THEIR children. :)
Lots of kids nowadays, though, don't have the chance to experience those "coming-in-from-school-and-smelling-something-great" moments. Life is busy for everyone. Many kids come home to an empty house and must make their own "cooking smells", in a microwave. Many young parents just don't cook or bake - they eat out, microwave, order in. That not only gets expensive, it's depriving the family of something - the memories of great homemade cooking and baking smells in their home. I once wrote an article about how every kid deserves to come home sometimes to the smell of bread baking in an oven. ... what a way to welcome your kids home and say, "I love you!" (And, believe me, the husbands love it, too. There are also some husbands who enjoy cooking - in that case, the wife will love it!)
Yeah, it's all about love. Cooking and baking for your family is one way to show how much you love them. One way to provide happy "home" memories for them to talk about in their future. One way to show them that, as busy as you are, you still put them first and love them more than anyone else.
P.S. ( Though I usually bake and cook from "scratch" - I'm not above using a brownie mix, a chocolate-chip cookie mix, etc. from time to time. For those of you who just are really stretched for the time to stick something in the oven ... give these a try. I won't say they taste better than "from scratch" , but there are some pretty good-tasting mixes out there. And, if it's a question of time, those mixes can still produce some pretty nice kitchen odors for the family to walk into. :) )

Here is a quick-to-make chocolate cake you might want to try. I found it recently on a recipe online site.
"Throw-Together Chocolate Cake"
(greased 9 X 13 baking pan .... preheat oven: 360 degrees)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour ...............NOTE: I used self-rising flour (don't add the baking powder if you do), and it
1/2 cup soft butter turned out fine
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder ............NOTE: I didn't have any instant coffee, so just added about
1/2 cup of left-over black coffee
********************************************************************************
Put all ingredients in a bowl, in order given more or less, and beat well until creamy and smooth.
Pour into prepared pan.
BAKE: preheated pan ... 45 minutes to 1 hour
*********************************************************************************
Put any kind of frosting on that you like; or just sprinkle powdered sugar over it. I used a brown sugar/cream praline frosting. Yum!

Concord Grapes
And ............ they are concord grapes! The taste of only one brings back memories of a childhood in Rhode Island ... Newport and Portsmouth. Why the walk down memory lane because of a concord grape? Because, when I was a kid living in Rhode Island, I used to help my brothers with their paper route. To help my brothers with their paper route meant I rode my bike up and down some little country roads - and along quite a few of those country roads were stone fences - and on those stone fences I would often find grapes growing. CONCORD grapes! Yum! My absolute favorite grapes. When I was told those "things" on the fences were edible grapes, and first tasted them, I was hooked for life. In grape season my brothers probably wondered why I was so slow; though, they, too, loved the concords and were most likely indulging themselves.
When we lived in France I became pretty well acquainted with muscat grapes and those big, sweet Italian grapes. They were delicious. But the concords still remained my "preferred" grape.
After returning to the states I was always on the look-out for concord grapes. They were rarely found here in the Midwest. But when I DID find some I snatched them up, knowing it would be a long time before I found them again.
Now, I admit that our humble concord grape specimen shown here does not measure up to the stately, beautiful ones I remember, and find from time to time (maybe because this is only the second year of our vine???). But, I have to tell you that as soon as I popped one of the ripe ones into my mouth and bit into it ... I was instantly transported back to those bike rides on the Rhode Island country roads! Heavenly taste; only way to describe it. :) LOVE 'em! Absolutely LOVE them.
Oh, and listen up: the ONLY way to eat a concord grape is to pop it into your mouth, bite into it and enjoy that instant glorious squirt of concord grape flavor - and then swallow the WHOLE thing (don't you dare spit out that skin - it's yummy)! Oooooooooh ... I sure hope the birds plan to leave us a few more .....
If the Squash Bugs Missed Them ...
We haven't had much luck with our garden squash this year. The squash bugs didn't spare us. Come to think of it, they didn't last year either. :( Some of our friends have had the same problem - but there are SOME friends who have had success. And, thanks to their generosity, we have been "kept in squash" this summer. Yellow squash. I like other kinds, too. But YELLOW squash is my favorite.
I have tried various recipes for the squash, but have to say that my absolute favorite way to eat yellow squash is probably the simplest way of preparing it. We enjoyed it again for supper this evening: slice small yellow squash into a skillet with a little olive oil (I also love using bacon drippings), some chopped fresh garlic, chopped onion, salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for three to five minutes and, presto!, it is ready to eat. Enjoy!
Of course, there are any number of ways to "ad lib" this recipe. Sometimes I throw in some fresh, chopped basil - or sage - or thyme ... or all three! It's great with some good crispy country bacon chopped into it. And, if the bacon idea grabs you, you'll probably also love some slices of good ham ( I LOVE country-smoked ham) to go along with the squash. Then, there's always any kind of cheese to sprinkle in ... maybe a little cream ... etc. Use your imagination. Don't be afraid to experiment. For me, part of the fun of cooking, is the "creativity" of it ... sometimes I follow a recipe completely; but LOTS of times (maybe most) I'm not afraid to stray off on my own. A little of this; a little of that. Have to say that there have been few times that something's turned out really bad (but don't ask my husband about the sweet-and-sour rabbit when we were young marrieds and only had a can of pineapple and a jar of home-canned rabbit from a friend in the cupboard.............).
Eat REAL food - including squash-bugless yellow squash - and enjoy REAL taste. :)

For me, part of the fun of cooking, is the "creativity" of it ... sometimes I follow a recipe completely; but LOTS of times (maybe most) I'm not afraid to stray off on my own. A little of this; a little of that. Have to say that there have been few times that something's turned out really bad (but don't ask my husband about the sweet-and-sour rabbit when we were young marrieds and only had a can of pineapple and a jar of home-canned rabbit from a friend in the cupboard.............).
Eat REAL food - including squash-bugless yellow squash - and enjoy REAL taste. :)
Homemade Soup!
The soup in the photo here was our supper tonight. We'd had a church picnic, after services today. One thing I took was a roasted chicken, the meat cut off of the bones. When we returned in the afternoon I put the chicken carcass that I'd saved in the fridge into a pan of water, letting it simmer a couple of hours, while doing other things. The freshly-making chicken broth smelled great. Finally, I lifted out the bones to cool enough to pull the bits and pieces of meat off ... added the meat to the broth ... salt and pepper to taste ... a tomato from the garden, peeled and chopped ... a couple of okra pods straight from the garden, sliced in thin pieces ... a bit of garlic ... a little white wine ... a handful of chopped basil from the garden ... let it simmer a little longer - then, just before serving, added a bit of REAL cream. Yum! My husband and I both enjoyed a bowl-full. So good.
Great-tasting homemade food can take time - or not. Like soup. Give it a long, slow simmer over the afternoon, or overnight in the slow cooker ... or, use ingredients that can be cooked quickly and enjoyed in just a few minutes. Believe me, it's worth the effort. :)

Tears
From "The American Heritage Dictionary of The English Language" : "tear" ... "A drop of the clear salty liquid that is secreted by the lachrymal gland of the eye to lubricate the surface between the eyeball and eyelid and to wash away irritants."
There have just been many of those "drops of clear salty liquid" sliding down my face ... I have once again allowed myself to let the tears fall over an on-going family sadness. I haven't sat and thought about "it" for some time; and I haven't cried about "it" for sometime. But I just now did. Those tears flowed, as my thoughts flowed; and, though those tears have not "washed away the irritant" - the reason for the tears - they have brought me a certain amount of relief. Tears don't always change a circumstance, but I think they can help us cope with the circumstance.
A second part of the definition of "tears" says: "a profusion of this liquid spilling from the eyes and wetting the cheeks, especially as an expression of emotion".
Well, my emotion has just been "expressed", once again, with my tears. The tightness in my chest has been relieved! Tears really do help us relax; soothe us.
I thank God for these tears. They are a gift; though I often try to "fight" letting them flow. The tears also remind me to rely on God to take care of the CAUSE of the tears. There are some things in life that I can do something about; and there are many things in life that I can do nothing about myself. I MUST rely on God and His promises - that He IS "in charge", even though I might not understand what He's doing (or not) at the moment. God's timing is certainly not mine. I want it DONE and NOW! The definition of "done" and "now" to God may be a whole different definition than mine. I often need to reread the definition of "patience".
As a Christian, I know God loves me, and everyone else. He does. And I believe that God Himself lets the tears fall sometimes because of us; because He loves us so. Jesus did! So, I will "accept" my tears, as they come. Be glad the floodgates opened and relieved the stress of the situation. But, I will also be looking forward to the time when those tears will no longer be necessary. No more reasons for the tears. No more illness, death, family sadness.
I cling to God's promises:
"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him." (the Bible: Psalm 126:5-6 - NIV version)
and:
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (the Bible: Revelation 21:4 - NIV version)
Amen! to that.

Joyful Future
"As I was 'getting older' I used to wish I knew what was in my future ... now that I've 'become' older and lived through some of that future, I am thanking God that I didn't know my future ... and am trying to live it as it comes, and let God help me through it day by day!"
The quote above is my most recent Facebook "status" posting. I posted it to remind myself, and others, that God IS in control. He IS there with us; through the good and the bad. Through the pain. Through the heartaches. Through the financial difficulties. Through the sorrows of wayward children. Human that I am, I NEED to be reminded of this all too often.
Isaiah 43:2 is one of my favorite Scripture verses:
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
Now, I'll be the first one to admit that I don't care to "pass through the waters/rivers", and definitely not "through the fires"! Oh, no. Not me. I am a world-class coward when it comes to pain ... at least, if I know pain is coming; I handle it better when it's a surprise. :) I mentioned in that quote at the beginning that I used to wish I knew what was coming; but then, through the years, EXPERIENCED "what was coming" - and was glad I didn't know it beforehand. It was hard enough to handle and get through when it came as a "surprise". There were (still are) many times in the last few years that I have had to read and reread that Isaiah 43 verse - had to repeat it to myself over and over and over.
"God? Did you mean it? ARE You really here? How come I'm not 'feeling' Your presence? How come You are allowing all this to happen? How come You aren't just zapping all of this painful unpleasantness out of my life? Are you punishing me? Are you punishing my family? Why can't You just KNOCK the truth into people? You ARE God - how come you don't do it?" And on and on and on. There were certainly many time when I wasn't allowing the joy of God to shine through the bad times.
I just read an article in a devotional book about "joy", which I've written about myself before. The author said pretty much the same as I did in my own articles on the subject: JOY is not a fake smile or put-on happiness in the middle of some disaster in our lives. It's not pasting that "up" look on your face and declaring to anyone who asks that "everything's great - all is well - no problem". Real joy is something we can show to others, as well as to ourselves, in the middle of any of the worst situations in life - because the joy I refer to is not about US. It is about Jesus. We can have this joy BECAUSE of Jesus Christ, pure and simple. We can have and still show this joy when we go through the hard times because we still have the assurance of God's love through the acceptance of Jesus's death on a cross for our sins. We KNOW we are "okay", no matter what life is throwing our way, because, in the end, God is waiting for us. That's JOY!
No matter what the past has given us,no matter what we are living through in the here-and-now, no matter what the future holds ... nothing can take away the JOY of our lives: the love and salvation that God has sent our way, through our belief in and acceptance of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
When we are floundering through the waters or fighting through the fire, if we look up we see that God IS there with us. He hasn't left us to our own devices. Having already gone through some of those waters and some of those fires, I can now look back and see that, yes, God was with me; I can now see, looking back, more clearly where He was helping me. At the time I struggled so much to feel or show the joy of the Lord; even becoming angry with God; wondering why in the world He is allowing these things to happen. Yet, He was still there. He waited for me to look up - as I coughed and sputtered my way through the waters, shielded myself from the flames ... God waited patiently for me to see that He was right there with me. And still is. And that knowledge, too, is pure JOY
We don't need to know the future. There will surely be good times AND bad times to come; but what we NEED to know about the future is that God IS there with us through whatever the future holds for us. And that the "final future" will be a future with God Himself - and that is JOY!

"Backroads or Highways?"
Back-roads and out-of-the-way places are for me. Don't get me wrong. I also like the cities with the coffee houses, the little shops, nice places to eat. It's not an "either/or" question with me. For some city lovers, though, it IS an "all or nothing" question; meaning all city or nothing! I like both. But, I REALLY like to search out those little out-of-the-way places - the unique places. It's so nice to come upon some little town you didn't know was there until you saw it, and realize, "Hey! This is a cute little place. Let's stop and look around ...".
You can still find, in some small towns across America, little shops and cafes that are not part of the "usual" chains of stores and restaurants. Something different. Something special to that particular area. It is always exciting to me, when traveling, to come across a place that does NOT have the same old department stores, the same old book stores, the same old eating places. You can go from one coast to the other in our country and almost think you haven't left home, because the same stores and restaurants show up that you just thought you were leaving behind for awhile!
Oh, but take those back-roads and look for those out-of-the-way places to find something different. Instead of tensely watching the traffic on the interstates as you drive, you can relax as you drive and actually SEE things along the way. So much nicer. Easier on the blood pressure.
Small towns and country places have often provided me with such interesting and unusual stories, histories of the area, some great photos - and sometimes just plain "oddities" to inspect. Everything from that tiny and strange Elvis museum-cafe in rural Missouri to the very bizarre small hunting-lodge-cafe in the middle of a forest in Belgium. There's usually always something worth stopping for in those out-of-the-way places ...something to see, places to eat (which are sometimes not so good, but often are).
If you never take the back-roads - give it a try this summer. You just may be very pleasantly surprised. With a choice ... when we don't have to hurry ... when we just want to relax and "meander" ... then it's the back-roads for me.
"Back-Roads or Highways?"
Give me trees, grass and soil.
Narrow, winding roads -
driving without toil.
Open skies above me,
farms and small home-towns to see -
roadside cafes and locals,
travel that allows me to "be".
