Find the joy & snatch it up &
Keep feeding me whimsy PLEASE!! love..Deena * I AM blessed*
i so understand you taking a break deena.....i don't have the same types of life changing things going on in my life...and i feel like taking a break so many times too! the need to contemplate all of these events would seem sooo necessary....and healing....and obviously that would lead to your relationship with God.... i wish you peace and comfort on your break....and to finding joy. hugs, love and prayer, dear friend. kimberly
Hi Deena, Thanks for letting us know that you are okay cuz we do worry about you. I too have been spending more time with GOD reconnecting. It feels so good. That is why I went away this week.
Sweet Deena! you rest now, we will stand in the gap with faith, hope and love! We will wait to hear the good report upon your return....to posting...You will be stronger in Jesus! You are a handmaiden of God! from the heart of Texas! Be safe in Jesus! afrientoyou! Judy
Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the Son of peace to you. ...Celtic Blessing
Deena, you deserve some Peace, so get some rest, you will find joy in just that. I started keeping busy doing more organizing and lots of praying and it is making me stronger and I feel like my new life is just beginning. Take care and we will see you after your deserved rest. Love and Hugs, Pat
A well deserved break that God will bless. You need this time to absorb all this love for you out here. Don't stay away too long though, I'll miss your enthusiasm!
Hello Deena, I pray you find peace and comfort,and your true purpose and plan God has instore for you. You have such a sweet additude about all you are going through,I know for certain the Lord is with you every step. I do pray you find much joy unspeakable,and full of glory. His word says "The joy of the Lord is our strength" God grant you that joy....In Jesus name....
Once again you amaze me- I haven't been able to visit your site as life has kept me busy, but I wanted to stop by and say good morning! You deserve a break and as much as i will miss your positive, sunny outlook on all things I know that you need to rest! You take care of YOU and we will be fine until you come back. I will continue to pray for your healing. God Bless you as you are snatching up some joy!!!! :O)
Deena, I hope you find some peace on this journey.I find being out with nature helps. Lots of prayers, thoughts and hugs coming your way from me. Jill.
Take Joy, my friend. Watch some lightning bugs, swat some mosquitos, sit on your deck and smell the air. They are really God's gifts. You need to rest-you've been pouring out to so many that need you. Be refreshed and come back with a new vision of His will. I'll be holding you up before Him. We love you very much. Debra
Deena ~ You will be in my prayers during your break ~ I will pray that you continue to feel God holding you in His arms and hear His voice ~ xoxo, Lori
Dear Deena, I've been praying for you lots & will certainly continue. It is truly amazing what can be done these days. You are proof that miracles continue to happen.
Love that the little crocheted D has found its perfect home among such lovelies. Is that a pair of Chatty Cathy shoes????
Just stopping by to say hello! I hope the break you are taking is comforting to you.
I love the glass flowers in your previous post. Are they made from crystals? They really are gorgeous. And your yo-yo table cover is wonderful! Hmmmmm. . .I may have to make one of these.
Deena, you know when we go through these traumatic times in our lives, we clutch to the Lord, hang on for our dear lives, trusting Him for everything. . . . but it is still such a storm, inside us and outside, no matter what we do or say. And there comes the day, like today for you, that you realize that you have hardly been able to be still, REALLY still, and look into His face and He into yours, and know that you have found a safe harbour for your soul again! Take the time. "Be still and KNOW that I am God." And you will surely know when you know. And everything will again be ok. You know I'm praying for you, don't you??????
We are so blessed Deena, we don't even realize it most of the time. Savor every mintue you spend getting closer to our Lord and Savoir of all mankind!!! Love and Hugs to you kid, Amy (Mom to the Four Sisters)
Hi Deena! My Mom and Aunt Sherry left this morning so I'm back at blogging again. (I miss them already though.)
I can't believe all that's been happening in your life while I've been away from blogging. I want you to know I include you in my prayers every time I pray. Every time.
Rest. Find Peace. Stay positive. Stay clear of anything negative. Find comfort in God's word and in knowing He hold you in his hand.
Sometimes life is like a river, and those little streams and creeks that branch off , are alot like our lives . Some are bumpy, you get tossed around, sometimes knocked off the raft if theres rapids, but you just have to kick your way to the top, catch your breath and climb aboard the boat again, then other times its like a soft flow, your inner tube whirls you around and about slowly, as you take it Gods beauty, just being lazy and floating about, resting. Thats where you are now, just need to kick back and trust where God is taking you. All is well with your soul...and I know I have Faith, I just know it that I know...He will heal you Sweet precious Deena..I love you sweet girl... Jackie ( Dove 2 Mist)
My Dearest Deena, Rest in his quiet comfort my friend and know that we will all be waiting for you when you come back. Loving prayers being said for you. Hugs, Kimmie
Enjoy the break. I am leaving you an award. When or if you get around to it is fine...I just want you to know that I think you are one special and wonderful lady.
I know I speak for more than just me when I say, "take the time that you need, keep what is most important close...and know that you are embraced by many."
You are teaching many of us Deena with your journey, and I for one embrace the gift that you are as well as the gift you have always been for me.
GOOD MORNING DEENA..JUST WANTED TO SAY HI AND IM THINKING OF YOU AND PRAYING FOR YOU.. JACKIE DOVE2MIST......REST IN HIM AND MAY HIS JOY FLOOD YOUR SOUL.
This is the first time I've been able to visit in awhile--so I got caught up and now I am writing to tell you that I think of you often and am still sending those prayers heavenward for you. Take good care of yourself. You are such a doll, Deena! Love, Jann
Prayers are being said...hugs are being sent. God is there through all the ups and downs. He is holding your hand. I think you are truly beautiful...haor or NO hair! I have never seen anyone lovelier. Angelina who? Deena is my vote for People Mag's Most Beautiful! Love, Sue
Dearest Deena, I have been an avid reader of your blog for a long time. I have never left comments. Just on your guest book. But I always pray everyday for a fast recovery for you. I want you to know that you are an inspiration to many and to me. Take that much needed break and just breath. You are beautiful, talented and a very loving person. God has many plans for you and I know your fan club will be here waiting when you come back. Peaceful blessings and health. Dena (thats my name too. Isn't it a cool name? :))
Thinking about you, Deena. I wish I had whimsy to share, but I'm not nearly as creative as you girls :)
I'm reading the labels for this post--break, faith, healing, joy, life, purpose, spirit, whimsy. I hope you're finding all of these things in abundance.
Was reading back about the "gamma knife" procedure...noticed it was given at the St. Francis Medical Center...St. Francis, the Saint who was loved and trusted by all animals. That was a "God shot" place to have your next procedure done cause of how you showed and loved animals on your nature blog. None of this can have been easy, hope you are as best as can be expected.
I haven't been over for a bit and just learned about your brain tumors. I am so sorry to hear this, but glad also to hear that you had the gamma knife treatment. I pray for excellent health for you my dear. God is not finished with you yet.
Deena,Sorry I haven't been around for awhile our computer has broken down! Now we've got Beth's laptop linked up I can keep in touch again! Deena I was so shocked to hear of your latest news,you have gone through so much already! I hope you can manage to get some rest and spend some quality time with your lovely family and we will pray for a speedy recovery. You are one of lifes special people Deena,you truly amaze me and your strenth and determination,inspires everyone! Love and hugs from Kathy and the girls

Continue to think of you and pray for you each day Deena. Hope you are surrounded by birdsongs from your 'singing woods' and the great love of your family and nearby friends. Be strong and know you are cared about by so many of us out here. Hope you will regain your strength and post again soon - we care. Warm and gentle hugs - Mary & Bob.
Please add my warm wishes and prayers for a true, total healing of body and spirit. You are such a gift to all of us who have come to know you, please know you are in our constant thoughts and prayers.
Hi Deena, I miss you Pink Princess Warrior. I pray you are okay & getting some rest & finding joy. Just know we all love you & miss you but know you need this time. You have been such a strength to us & we are here for you with thoughts & prayers. Take care & I will keep stopping by to check on you.
You know I was thinking the other day it has been almost a year since I sent that little parcel your way with the hand dyed goodies. So much has happened since then. Life for you has taken on new meaning.A path you never thought you would have to travel has been set before you. First I must tell you that you have traveled that path with dignity and head held high.You have shared your travels with others and enriched all of us by doing so. Enjoy this time with your family and friends but most importantly with yourself. Enjoy the summer, before you know we'll be complaining it's too cold. XO Susan I
Deena, I pray that you find/have peace in your heart, may your time to reflect on who you are and all that you've done be of comfort... You sound like a warm hearted person who has touched soooo many lifes..

You are always in my prayers - and hope this time is refreshing and beautiful for you. I have some doves that seem to alight in the house behind us - and I enjoy their cooing so much.

Hi Deena,
ReplyDeleteI miss you Pink Princess Warrior. I pray you are okay & getting some rest & finding joy. Just know we all love you & miss you but know you need this time. You have been such a strength to us & we are here for you with thoughts & prayers. Take care & I will keep stopping by to check on you.
You know I was thinking the other day it has been almost a year since I sent that little parcel your way with the hand dyed goodies.
ReplyDeleteSo much has happened since then. Life for you has taken on new meaning.A path you never thought you would have to travel has been set before you.
First I must tell you that you have traveled that path with dignity and head held high.You have shared your travels with others and enriched all of us by doing so.
Enjoy this time with your family and friends but most importantly with yourself.
Enjoy the summer, before you know we'll be complaining it's too cold.
