Don't be Discouraged....it may be...the Last Key...on the Ring...That Opens...The Door...

My friend, Bart, brought me some treasures....late in the day...yesterday....Among them...was a container....with tons of Old Keys....I used to wear an old key around my neck.... I read, long ago...a little saying, in my 'Streams in the Desert'..."Don't be discouraged...it may be the last key, on the ring, that opens the door...."

I find myself , getting so frustrated...at times...then, I think of this....

It goes right along...for Thanking God...for Unanswered Prayers.... {they are always answered....just, not the way, I may have hoped them to be.... but...He knows...The Best...and....in time...that is always shown...{How many times...have I really thought....if this, or that would happen...life would be Great....then...'that'...didn't happen...and....oh my...was I thankful...If 'That'...would have come to pass...'This'...wonderful 'Blessing...wouldn't have found it's way, to me...}

It's when you are in the middle...between the Prayer...and the Ultimate Blessing...The Key...is such a Perfect Little Reminder....

"Hang in There...Baby"...

While I was playing...in the Old Keys, yesterday... I spotted This One! It's an Old...old..'Ford' Key....John says, it's from the 40's....It was all dark...and crusty...I could barely read the Old Logo.... {I think..'it' found my hand.... I'm like a Magnet...to anything 'Ford'!....It was My Treasure...for the day!} I whisked it up to the house last night....got the Bar Keeper's Friend' out....and gently cleaned the Old Key up.... Love It!

It was a Long....Day....Yesterday....by the end of it...I was one...solid...aching muscle! I got the back yard, behind the shop picked up...and had the burn barrel Blazing! By evening...I was sitting on an old bench...playing with keys...and watching the fire....

Today...I'm taking on the Rabbit Hole!

A friend, stopped by yesterday...and peeked inside....he said.."WHEN...do you have to have this done..????!!!"

I told him....he said..."oh my God...I don't know....how..." Then...went on to say...."well...I guess...some people won't mind digging through....this...some people...like, to dig..." and dropped his head...as he walked out the door....... Oh..He of Little Faith....: )

Friends...I can not...begin to tell ya...what a Mess I'm in...

as my Pal, Steph, would say....

"No Worries!"....

and...that's Exactly.....what I said...to him....

" NO WORRIES!!!!"

Have a Great Day!

{I talked to Peg...yesterday as I was cleaning out Her Flower Beds...she had planted.... she asked what I was doin'...I said.." Cleaning out YOUR FRICKIN' FLOWER BEDS!!!!! Remember the ones...I was So Apprehensive about...when YOU Insisted on Planting Them! Because...I Don't Have Time to Mess With!!!???? The Ones...YOU said...You would be tending too....and I'd Never Have to Worry About!!! Remember!!!!????"
She Roared! And said.."Hey! I'm Suckin' Down These Nasty Shakes...so I can Get Up There...and Clean those Beds!!!!" I said... "GET ON IT!!! I Need You Here!!!!!"
She is sounding...Better...and Better...Every Day! Thank You...for sending Prayers....and Light.... Thank You....}
