Fingerprint Friday

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of god
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of god
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of god

So as I have been blogging about we lost my dad 3 days before Christmas, its been a month already and accepting this is very difficult. This was the sky the day I was going to Long Island for the wake. I was on the train looking out the window. I haven't seen a sky like this in about 30 years. when I spoke to my best friend that night she said the same thing, "did you see the sky around 4:00, it looked like the seat of Heaven" I miss you dad, a lot.

I can see the fingerprints of god
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of god
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of god
So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them?

Foe me this week, please see the blog entree below and send prayers. I have been on the pity pot all week feeling completly hopeless and lost. I saw this on my facebook page and it helped me to put things in prespective. How does God show himself, thru us, thru prayers. Please send your prayers to this sweet little boy who I think is only about 2 years old..

Also, please go to Pampering beki here to add in your own thoughts.

Well, for me this week, it was in a special friend, thanks so much Theresa:)
And thru my dark periods in life, I have been able to find strength and God has always sent me signs. Once about 11 years ago after the 1st split with my husband I was very distraught. I took my dog out for a walk and looked down and there in the middle of this busy city street was this piece of marble with these very special words. It was really a surprise to look down and have this thing practically sitting on my foot. I can't remember now why those words were so important to whatever was going on but I guess it doesn't really matter, it was something special.

Happy FingerPrint Friday

How did God show himself in your life this week? Becki has these huge amazing rocks in Colorado, I have this amazing pumpkin plant on my fire escape. The city gardener that I am,last year after halloween I throw my daughter's pumpkin into a big pot to rot and fertilize the soil (boy I need to buy myself a farm!) anyway, this is what grew right out of the pumpkin, Hundreds of seeds took life. I haven't even looked out there all spring, it was all nature and God tending a city garden :)

So today is Fingerprint Friday, a day where many of us share how God touches our life, one of his fingerprints. Today mine is this little raccoon. Last night we were having a picnic in Central Park under a big Oak tree near a lovely pond. It started getting dark and out wanders this lttle raccon. We live in the city so this is a big deal to city kids. He was a definatily a NYC raccoon because we thru him a bagel and he happily scampered away!




And to join in on this wonderful weekly tradition go to Pampering Beckie.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Climbing back up

Wow, I guess its true sometimes you have to let go of that damn rope to be caught, I found this on a lovely girls facebook page today. And I just remembered its Fingerprint friday. I had a really bad week, among other things, the bottom line is I can barely afford to keep a roof over our heads and this week it really got to me. Really. But God stepped in by putting some new friends in my path. Fingerprint Friday happens every Friday. A day started by Beckie at Pampering Beckie here. How does God touch your life share it on your blog and paste the link on Beckies.

FingerPrint Friday

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel, stop deciding with our mind what we want our heart to feel and sometimes we just have to go with 'Whatever happens-happens'"

Everything happens for a reason: to touch someone's heart, to open someone's eyes, to bless a life. Take nothing for granted; Live everyday to the fullest and have no regrets. Tomorrow is not certain or promised and our last breathe is not determined by us. Life's too short to be anything but happy.

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say
- John Mayer

FINGERPRINT FRIDAY

NO WORDS NEEDED FOR THIS ONE!

May 1, MayDay Celebration, A tradition and FingerPrint Friday?

Fairy Branch

Here's a branch of snowy May!
A branch the Fairies gave me!
Who would like to dance today
With the branch the fairies gave me?
Dance away Dance away
Holding high the branch of May!
Dance away dance away
Holding high the branch of May!

I love Mayday and I love fairies and if there was going to be a day to see a fairie today would be the day! This is such a nice tradition to start in your school!
My daughter went to a waldorf preschool where they did a fancy maypole with real dance movements. I learned a lot there about Maypoles and fairies! I switched her over to a public elementary school. In 1st grade my then husband and I built a maypole and donated it to the shool. All the kids and parents signed the pole and dated it with th year. Some of the other parents and I made fairy wreaths for the girls hair and bell bracelets for the boys. We made a picnic lunch and took 2 of the lucky classes over to Central Park for a fun afternoon under the cherry blossoms. We did this for 3 years, by 3rd grade the girls were tying the boys to the pole!

Well I don't know if this really qualifies for Fingerprint Friday but I know the times I am happiest and the things that make life meaningful for me are doing things like Mayday celebration and teaching 60 children about something they may have never heard about or participated in if it wasn't for me (this time!) And I am not bragging it is an honor to have been able to participate and initiate this in a public school and to have a principle and teachers that were open to it! And a ton of parents to help out! Happy May!

FINGERPRINT FRIDAY

All I can get to lately is fingerprint friday. To Join in go to Pampering Beckie here! This is the sky from in front of my apt building. I guess this reminds me of God's fingerprint because it shows me in my world from my front door how little I can see of the sky, yet I know there is a beautiful sunset going on somewhere I cannot see. Sometimes it's hard to have faith in what cannot be seen, this lets me know it exists.

Remember to scroll down for my new spring giveaway.

Yay me! I am finally back here! Fingerprint Friday, I missed this..how does God show himself to you...want to join in, go over to Pampering Beckie here.
I have been dying to post this, I have been carrying it around for 20 years, it's all tattered. Sometimes words are more beautiful then a photo...

Oklahoma!
Act 1
Scene One: The back porch and yard of Laurie's farmhouse

"It is a radiant summer morning several years ago,
the kind of morning, which enveloping the shapes of
earthmen, cattle in a meadow, blades of young corn,
streams--makes them seem to exist now for the first
time, their images giving off a golden emanation that is
partly true and partly a trick of the imagination, focus-
ing to keep alive a loveliness that may pass away.

I don't know why but this makes me cry.

Fingerprint Friday

Happy New Year 2009!! I am just getting back into the swing of things. My first post for 2009 will be for Pampering Beckie's Fingerprint Friday. Although this photo isn't so good, the memories that will go with it are. Being its just my daughter and me, I try extra hard to create memories for her. Every year at Christmas time, Bryant Park turns itself into a winter wonderland, there are Christmas shops and cider and an iceskating rink with Christmas music. I usually take her and her friends. Its one of our favorite things to do during the holiday season. So Christmas isn't in the things it's in the doing and sharing and being. If anyone out there ever plans a trip to NYC, contact me! There are so many things people don't know about like this. Everyone rushes to Rockerfeller Center when these little secrets are so much nicer. This is becoming a tradition for us and this season I find God in the memories I have made! Skating in NY under a beautiful sky, listing to Bing and surrounded by the city.

Fingerprint Friday

FingerPrint Friday, How do you see God's fingerprint in your life. Maybe God is showing me his fingerprint this week by the problem I just posted about below. Maybe I really do need to pray for my lawyer and R and the judge and the police. Maybe I should try that. And now I'm listening to a Christmas song from Pampering Beckie. What is Christmas all about. This is the season of joy and peace, what's wrong with me. How can I take this situation and make it joyful. A funky version of Amazing Grace just came on. Thanks God, for being there once again.
For my picture, my cousin Donna adopted a bay girl from Russia, tonight was her Christening. What a different life my cousin will have and her new daughter.

I look at my cousin's face and she is so in love.

My photo for Fingerprint Friday. I love this photo! A few days ago, I met the mother of these beautiful children in my Etsy shop. She sent me this photo to show me what her daughter looked like. I wanted to ask her if I could use it for today but was embarressed. Tonight Sarah and I happened to be on the computer at the same time and I was having a very difficult moment. Sarah offered to pray for me and my child and it was a prayer that couldn't have come at a better time. So I think this is how God showed himself to me this week.
