Strength of will......

There's a place in the high desert just inside of Jordan where thousands
of Syrians have fled to from the brutal civil war of their country....the story
goes on to tell of how some of these displaced human beings...have cut
a larger window in their pre-fab...for a place to set out their goods to sell..
There need to live a normal life is a testimony to their spirit... I salute and
admire these traits of perseverance...initiative...and hope...we Americans
most of us cannot even in a million years imagine what they are going
through....

Hello all of you out there....
This is the day after Halloween...we had no "action"
at our house...our place is out of the way....So bowl 
of candy has my name on it.....!
Here are a couple of my latest paintings for your
hopefully viewing pleasure....

Wanting to share my latest paintings.....Here goes....Kitty Cat.....her name is Lola.....everyone likes Lola..........More paintings to come.............See ya........in the funny papers......Louisa

Little sumthin for you to see......................

Hello there...Hello here......
Wanting to share two things this morning...
My latest painting....done in just black and orange.....
And my little 99 cent wreath....my fall wreath...made
with these knarled ....yet still efficient hands ....using
succulents and fern from the yard....So cheapo....I think
it's pretty and I likey................
I wish you my thousands of fans....the very best weekend..
Enjoy it and enjoy some good food too...
See you "WHERE" in the funny papers.....

Louisa........................

 

How blessed I was to find this book of poems by Ruth Bell Graham...
purchased for a mere .50 at one of my library's.....My blessing is not
just the very low and happy price...but the fact that I am a huge fan of
Ruth's ..since reading her life story sometime back...She is a delightful...
resourceful and interesting women...very down to earth....So here is
one of my favorite's from her book.....
Lord ...when my soul is weary and my heart is tired and sore...and I have
that failing feeling....that I can't take any more...then let me know the
freshening found in simple childlike prayer...when the kneeling soul knows
surely...that a listening Lord is there.............

Take care dear folks ....until next time.....Louisa...............
P.S.  As some of you may know I also like to write poems....and I found
after reading Ruth's life story...she also likes thrift stores ...recycling of great
finds for added beautifying of our homes...as I do...We are kindered
spirits in these pursuits....

Wanted you to see a couple of my new paintings.....Did I tell you
I'm looking into publishing one of those delightful coloring books...
My art would lend itself to this rather well...me thinks...and so
I am asking a couple of publishers if they agree. I'm letting God
lead me for His control over me is essential for my life's comfort
and well-being...........If this happened for me ...I would be over
the moon and right now I'm excited at the possible prospect...BUT
with cautionary over tones.....Blippity blippity Blop!.........
So lets see if I can successfully get those two pics of my art here..
Love to you allllllll.....and I'm waiting to see you in the funny papers,
Louisa....Here....Sorry I'm having trouble getting the pics....Thanks
fragile and dopey bad brain cells!!!!!

And red it shall be:......Here's a poem...if I have posted this here
in the past...and I am to lazy to look way back...Forgive me...
Still it is a good one...if I do say so myself....The name...
                          What can I do for you today..... 

Can I hold your hand...so you don't feel alone...can I listen with 
sympathy...with empathy...with all of me...can I speak to you 
with words of comfort and hope...helping you to cope...can I
lift you up with a prayer from my heart...can I be there for 
you from the very start...Yes I want to...for God's telling me to...
It costs nothing ...to give of oneself...the reward...will tug at
your heart....that's the lovely part................................

My attention to Louisa here has been scant...scant what a
dippity do word....still it is a good one....Scant these many
months....I have told you ....my thousands of faithful followers
(Hee!Hee!)....that moving going on 7 months ago interferred 
with my time ....with my mind even...so much work and so much
"Stuff" I did get rid of at least a dozen bags of this and that and
some furniture to Goodwill....Anyway...that is now the past and
this post is the future....What happens with such a long interval
in between posts....suddenly my inner voice gives me a talk....and
says....Your blog...your little bitty blog...laying there alone and
lonely....for you....that's right Louisa....it is lonely for you...and
with that I fly to my old yet still operating to my satisfaction..(cuz 
what do I know from computers...) computer and my fingers fly to share on here my precious and lonely post ...all these gems ...all
these words coming out of my 73 yr. old noggin...( I have told you
my age before...have I not?) and I am satisfied and relieved that I have made peace with my precious and worthy blog....So there you
have it....Well I must say Arevou...spelled so wrong...can't find it in Websters...so here phonetically you have it.....Laugh if you must...
I like the French language...My dears....and you are my dears........
Hope to see you in the funny papers.....Louisa............
