Up

Lana here....

Every day we have choices to make...some menial, some carry more weight. I can choose sadness or delight and joy. It is a choice. To walk that out is sometimes a moment by moment determination. Depending on what I choose determines the reality of my day.

Al never hung onto negativity, especially in dealing with people. He gave great weight to his words and so he meant what he said and said what he meant....his no's were no and his yeses were yes.  So, this past week I had it on my heart to watch the movie UP, which I thought was seemingly odd. Ben and Britton decided to spend the night last evening and I asked them to bring that movie over. It is a beautiful love story on many levels, Carl, a retired balloon salesman  and his wife Ellie, and Carl and Russell an eight year old wanna be explorer. Ellie has kept a scrape book of all her "stuff I want to do" but, sadly, she passes away before they are able to do the one big trip to South America. The lovely ending, which was what spoke to my heart, is in the back of  her  book  and she has written "thanks for the adventure....now you go find a new one."

My question has become "what do you want to be for me in this God?" And everyday He shows "up". And it is enough......
