Let it all hang out.

Or not.

Or maybe just a little.

No, not that much.

Goodness gracious, that’s too much.

This world can’t handle all that.

You better put it all back in, or they might chase you down and finally commit you.

Just keep in tucked away till you need it most.

Hope you’re laughing!

Enjoy your weekend!

Then David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands’?” Now David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard. Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me? Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”
1 Samuel 21:10-15

For all those who have struggled with your spelling this week,

For all those who go have tripped over words and stumbled over phrasing,

For all those whose Siri is not your best friend,

Just breathe. Just chuckle. Just have a good belly laugh.

Spellchecks won’t be in Heaven.

Happy Saturday! Enjoy your weekend!

A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Provers 17:22

Sometimes, you’ve just got to dance.

Dance like you don’t care.

Dance like nobody is there.

But for goodness’ sake woman.

Open your eyes and look in the mirror to make sure!

Haha! Hope you’re laughing today.

Happy April Fool’s Day.

Enjoy your weekend!

She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
Proverbs 31:25

Saturday’s Musings of Whimsical Fun Days

December 12, 2020 / The WheatandTares / 2 Comments

It’s been a bit since I sat down to write, and my fingers have aches for the pen and paper (or in this case, the keys of the keyboard). It seems life has become a bit of a whirlwind, and other things take priority over the enjoyment of my blogging right now. It kind of makes me sad, but more, I’d have to admit it makes me frustrated.

Writing is when my mind relaxes and my soul pours out to become a settled peace. Taking pen to paper, or even my fingertips to the keys, has a stabilizing, relaxing effect to my mind.

My thoughts can be swirling, tossing and turning, and I will pick up my pen and journal and begin writing until my heart is content. Sometimes, that only needs to be a half hour, yet, at other times, I might linger for hours, but when it has all been spent, my head is clear, and my breathing steady.

I do believer I may have to write for my own sanity, at least, for my own tranquility. Yet, these writings have to mean something as well.

They cannot be frivolous words written in a frantic that have no meaning, no strength. They have to come from deep in the soul, and first and foremost, they must be a nod to my Creator.

For after all, He placed the desire in my heart. He buried the longing deep within the recesses of my mind, and when I start penning, He is always there, as if my writing becomes a one-on-one conversation to His heart.

So today, I say, “Thank You.” Thank you to my Creator for breath, and life and grace. Thank you for joy, and peace and hope. All the things with which You overwhelm my life.

And thank You for this longing, this unquenchable desire to send You a love letter from the depths of my being. For without You, I am nothing.

But with You, I can conquer any fear, I can scale any mountain, I can slay any giant. For You within me are a mighty force with which to be reckoned. Thank You! ❤️
