Sentimental Journey

*click on image to see sweet baby ...

IMG_7331



What does one do when one is a sentimental one and her tree is falling down and her tears are also simultaneously falling down but she really does know that in the big scheme of things in this precious life that this is so not very tragic and actually not very tragic at all and actually a blessing that she even had a tree to grieve?

 
She realizes that though her tears may fall for a tree, they also are falling for all losses - big and small and in between. 


This she knows.  Because she knows herself.


So she reminds herself that she was very blessed to live beside and under such a beautiful tree for all of these cottage days and for that she must be grateful.

 
And then she does what she usually does - she soothes her soul with whatever it is that makes her soul soothe in this moment and in this now.

And she is so grateful.  Fallen tree and all.

You have a tender heart but also a grateful one. Gratitude is so healing and makes all the difference in life. Ann Voskamp, author of 1,000 Gifts, is so wonderful in expressing that. She also has a blog: A Holy Experience.

To grieve the tree is to honor the tree and all that it has meant to you and to everyone who had the chance to behold it or to call it Home.

The loss of such a marvelous tree will be felt for a long time. I'm glad Mama Swan and Baby were able to offer you both comfort and a chance to heal your heart.

It reminds me of Psalms 91... Sorry about the much loved tree...I'm stewing about the loss of an azalea bush only the size of a hassock.

Beth said what I was feeling. Ann's book has had a huge influence on my life. In this gratitude, I'm thanking God for you too. You are a blessing to me. I love coming home to the beauty you share with us, your blog friends. May your day be a peaceful one.

Beautiful. I too lost a beautiful tree this year and I miss it more than I ever knew I would. Thank you for that.
