Planning

Seeing ahead

Welcome back friends!

A wise man once said that most people fall into their lives.   They don't plan and carry out what they would like to do, they just fall into things through circumstances.      Others plan and prepare for life.  They know the kind of person they want to spend their life with, the kind of family, home  or job they wish to have and make a concerted effort to follow through.  

So what about you?

1. Did you plan to be where you are right now in life or did you just end up where you are? 

Yes and no. We had a plan but plans often fail or are upset with illness, job loss, and other life incidents.

2. What plans did you make for your future and what plans do you have for the future now or are you just marking time?

We had a plan but things change and you often do what you have to do. We have had many years of illness, job loss, more job loss, many sadness's so we are hobbling through this stage of life. But we have great faith and it has seen us through everything unpleasant and we hope it will continue.

3.  Do you live where you want to live or would you have done things differently when planning where to live?

We live in a relatively quiet area considering the times we live in. But would have loved to have built our own home . Something are not meant to be so I live by this Scripture:

In my Father's house there are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2 NASB  Faith has been our stronger bond, link, and  it has not failed us and we pray we continue on this road. 

4.  What is planned for this coming Autumn? 

We would like to take a trip or two, somewhere to see the Fall foliage . We hope to go on the train in Georgetown as it is a great way to see all the beauty.  we love watching sports so we have that. 

But we have Hannah and Jake's baby shower next month so much planning still to do. Between Rebekah trying new tea sandwiches and her husband Zach makes different cup cakes and other tea shower goodies, we need an exercise bike. We usually have holidays at home. So that will probably remain the same. But with our new grandson due at the end of December in upstate NY hahaha I may fly out there and come back in the Spring thaw! as for reading as the weather cools off I will be able to settle in to some good reading. I like light reading so I don't usually read true crime  stories or  Stephen King type of books. I do like a good biography too. I do not read much drama as the world is already full of it.

• trips or plans with family or friends?
• vacations?
• holiday plans?\
• Reading list?

Thank you for joining in to make Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 a success.

Happy Tuesday

Prayers for our grandson Colton and Jacey and the kids. Their dogs got out of the yard and Atlas, the Great Dane puppy was hit and passed away. Colton was headed home from work when the gentleman that hit him called him. They waited for the police for 30 minutes and the man was visible upset but was on his way to work  People often wonder why we don't like the wild rabbits here. It is because they dig up our fences whether chain link or privacy and Atlas and probably Chester the yellow lab knock a board out and escaped. Chester and Jordy the smaller dog ran to their house when they saw the accident and were very sad too. It is so hard to lose a pet. Atlas was a real sweetheart.
