Lonesome Pine Wildlife Habitat, LLC: 7/1/16

...a time to plant and a time to uproot...

On July 8th 2010 it was 6:30am I was studying in Ecclesiastes and ironicly was reading the previous verse when. Crack-Kabloom-Swoosh -an 80' tree on the hillside came down in the middle of the side yard. I had just finished some blockwork for the new flower beds.."The finger of God touched me today, with gentleness it came crashing." A small amount of damage to the back kitchen roof and an electrical wire knocked loose. Not a plant, ornament or window screen was damaged. "Adversity too is a Blessing from the Lord. His word a two-edged sword tearing asunder the works of God and the works of man." Has a giant tree fallen into the middle of your plans? Praise God He knows what He is doing! The birds are feasting on the insects of the exposed tree carcass which they needed badly during this hot spell.

My diagnosis of Chronic Lymes Disease has certainly changed my life. The fog is lifting, God is good. It has taken me some time to adjust to the physical, financial, and emotional challenges. But I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, praise God. What seemed as changes to heavy to bear has been turned to hope. Hope that I can continue to be a blessing to others through my talents to my community and to those who give of themselves daily for the betterment of others.

In honor of the pine that was taken down

The Lonesome Pine stood tall and proud its girth, its strength they spoke so loud. But as the wind through branches blew in soft and muffled tones it spew the secrets of a town it knew . And the years went by and by. It spoke of ancient days and cried of whispered dreams and cloudy skies it watched as people shuffled by along the trail from far and wide. And the years went by and by. Its feathered friends called from their nests "Lay your burdens here and rest. Sit a spell and be my guest." And the years went by and by. Their troubles they did lay aside for simple play they came inside in fading shadows they did hide and the years went by and by. Unscripted, grappled, hues of blue understory grew and grew. wounded spirits gave way to new And the years went by and by. The lonesome pine in comforts sun hung down its head in martyrdom it heaved a sigh a job well done then quietly it did succumb. And the years went by and by. written by Suzanne Fitzgerald on May 6th 2009 began at 4 am completed at 6:am

Window Reflection...

Looking over the pictures from the fallen tree, specifically how close it came to the windows...literally touching, but not breaking. I had to reflect over my past when Gods touch was so gentle when chastising.... errr pruning me, (He still is by the way.) it made me think of the times in my life when I too thought I was just too close to the breaking point, yet I didn't. It makes me think of how closely He prunes us. The resistance we give Him. The hurt we feel in having something 'lopped' out of lives, our minds. He knows just how far to push, just how close we can be molded without breaking. His loving touch constantly fashioning us for His will to be done. His ways are not our ways. He is such a Loving gardener tending to our needs. Thank you Lord that you don't procrastinate. Your timing is perfection . Help us all Lord to accept the times of growth and change in our lives. Help us to know in your hands we are in a safe place. Help us to trust you in all things.
Thanks for putting up with me Lord. your Loving but hard headed daughter Suzanne.
