ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Wow, that is powerful. I’m glad you were able to find peace in that situation, and I thank God for revealing that word.
Thanks, dear. I read your “Where are we going” story. It is a nice story and it does work as an analogy of trying to help someone find their “father.” Thanks for your kind comment.
thank you Oneta for this…I’m still picking up the pieces from dad’s death–trying to find order and sanity of managing an “estate” and now still picking up the most recent pieces from my aunt’s death…
I do believe there are those who go before us, who are spared that which remains here..that which is evil and bad…and here I am–trying to stand on His hallowed ground…am I still in need of moulding, am I being punished or am I being blessed…
yes His will be done!!!!
When he leaves us it is for a purpose. His work here cannot be completed if he were to take all his children out. You are needed to pick up the pieces in a physical sense, to continue your teaching and inspiration to this world (bloggers), as well as the other things he impresses on your heart. You do not want to go with your mission unfinished. And I presume he does need us to be “finished” before he takes us. I’m glad the choice is his, but I do have my moments of wondering why! Sorry about your dad; I think I missed your aunt’s passing. Have wisdom in dealing with the work, and peace to you. 😀
Thank Oneta
I am sorry for the loss of your cousin, and I am content to know that he died in the faith and you will be reunited with him in the new creation. What a powerful message you learned from this happening! J.
Thanks, salvageable. We have no peace trying to cross the will of the Lord. I am so thankful to be at peace with Him. And I’m learning to “walk the talk.”
