reconnect

No...I didn't forget about the blog. In fact I will publish more about the woman in the near future. It's just that life has been full of responsibilities lately. We moved to the farm. We love the solitude and quietness of the old house...the peacefulness of our surroundings. The birds frequent our birdfeeders in front of the porch regularly. However getting to this place has created a bit of chaos in our lives.

Adding to the chaos has been the fact that our parents have experienced some health issues. Quite frankly - August was a month from hell.  My dad had a stroke and then discovered that he has cancer. Bev's dad had surgery and ended up with a blood infection. Her mother was diagnosed with colon cancer and went through surgery to remove the cancer. We've been in numerous hospitals and medical facilities in the past month. Her parents are doing well right now, however, my father is struggling. For me - it's tough seeing the man I so deeply admire going through this right now. 

But then...that's life. We find the hand of God in the midst of the crap. We find rest in the midst of chaos. We enjoy the finch at the birdfeeder, the brightly colored morning glory entwining a corn stalk. The wobbly legs of a newborn calf cause us to smile. The hand of God is there...we just have to look for it!
