The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I'm so overwhelmed with conflicting feelings...

Why are you conflicted?

You know, several years from now, when Steve has a new job, and you're settled in your finances somewhat, you'll be able to do something similar for a young family that you know. You'll have the chance to 'pay it forward'.

Well, there are some people that I won't accept this kind of thing from, and then there are some that I would be ashamed if they thought we were poor and then there are some that I would be grateful to...

My head feels like it's blowing up.

2J. Accept graciously. Years from now, pass it on.

Go drink some tea and admit that you're happy.

LOL!! Yeah, you need that tension tamed. Do just accept the gift in the spirit in which it was given. Someone knows that you are a young family working hard to get ahead, and are excited to be able to gift you in this way. We've all been there, and know how wonderful it is to receive a blessing. Thank the Lord for it, and ask Him to Bless the givers.

Now go have that tea!

Well, if it's from my folks, I won't accept it. There are things I want more from them, some of them belong to me and are tangible. Most are intangible.

Stuff like this from them feels like a pay-off. I don't mind stuff they get for the boys...that's how Steve got me to keep the furniture. For the boys' sake...so they wouldn't have to sit on the floor.

Keep me posted, Suzi...prayin' for your family!

Joshua just came up to me and said "If I had my heart's desire, I'd have a hundred clones of me." I asked "Why??" and he said he just thought it would be good.

IMHO, that's just silly.

There's an old story, don't know if it's true or not, and I can't recall which preacher/evangelist they attribute it to, but it goes like this.

Someone brought in a HUGH amount of money for the offering. Everyone knew it was gambling and likker money. So they said,

"Brother Stormhands, don't you know that's the devil's money?"

"Well, the devil's had it long enough."
