The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

They were but they wanted a more formal affair.

One more and I'll quit. I realize some folks have dial up and clogging the thread with big pics is bad form but I couldn't resist. Crystal is just so very pretty.

(((Ruthy))) I know we are all praying for healing for your Grandfather, but we need to remember that the Lord sometimes heals in ways that we may not prefer, but that healing brings peace.

Hi there!

This is mostly a drive-by posting. I've been staying up too late and getting up too early lately. I've had it.

I'm heading to bed here in a minute and plan on trying to sleep in a bit. Running on fumes just doesn't cut it.

Blech!

The final Shootmooter has arrived - TalonDJ apparently took a shortcut through the Old Forest and you know how that goes. He's here now chowing down some Bambi bits (Bits o' Bambi?)

(((SuziQ)))

At this point, sis...

*sigh*

At this point, I'm praying that the Lord do His Will, but to please show mercy and do it quickly.

My grandfather became a bit combative today and tore off the restraints they had on him to get at his IV and catheter. The cancer is in both lungs, both kidneys and in his bones which includes skull and spine.

It's a torturous thing to watch someone you love die this way, so I pray the Lord takes him home soon since recovery seems so futile now.

I'm really not that cold about it. But I do realize that my grandfather's heart only worked at half-capacity since his bypass surgery and it won't hold out much longer under these circumstances.

Thank you for your prayers for the Lord's healing. We trust that He always knows how best to heal.
