Another day to link up with Helen at:
And to be challenged to "find the fab" in my life!
Today, the challenge is to share...
I FEEL MOST ALIVE...
When DO I feel most alive?
That's quite an interesting question, isn't it?!
Is it when:
- I am with the grandchildren, doing something - or doing nothing?
- I am hanging out with my daughters and son and their "significant others", my "other" sons and daughter?
- I am lying on the couch, watching TV with my hubby; or shopping; or attending his monthly breakfast?
- I am laughing, sharing, crafting, eating, with friends?
- I am at the computer, writing; pouring my heart and soul out using a keyboard?
- I am in church, hearing God's word, the music, the prayers?
When do I feel most alive?
All of the above would be the right answers to that question...
Because all of the above make me who I am!
But, what really makes me feel alive is...

Taking the time in God's special place - the outdoors at the conference center where our church goes for retreats: The Retreat Center at Silver Springs
The place where I find peace, and quiet, and love and acceptance and understanding...
The place where I find the strength and courage to continue in this journey called life...
Knowing that as I walk this journey, I am not alone! He is with me no matter where I go -
Even when I am with those who make me feel alive!
Love your post.....Always love to hear you calling your son- and daughter-in-law your 'other son and daughter', it makes you all seem so close, which is just wonderful. Love your 'alives'...! [I'm hoping to attend a retreat, even if only for a weekend....it's something that's drawing me to it in many ways....logistically unsure how it might happen but I know it will, as I know I'll get so many benefits from it]. love your last image...fab fonts!
ReplyDeletePraying you get your retreat!!! Yes, my family IS close; just wish my son and his family were closer in miles; we don't see them as often as we would all like!

I love all of your alive moments Barbara! And that place looks so beautiful and I feel often times that the outdoors is God's cathedral in a way and such a wonderful place to worship and connect with Him.

Yes, the outdoors! I may not be an athletic person, or enjoy the heat (OR the cold); but I love the outdoors...and that place IS a wonderful place to worship and connect with Him.
