Seven Branches: January 2014
http://cheribunch.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Friday, January 31, 2014. Christmas decorations have all been put away. Memories of our last celebration, voices echo in my mind. Great times together, laughter, stories, fun, the glue that holds a family tight, shared holiday spirit. I know that you are not thinking Christmas thoughts right now . . . most of us are thinking "spring". Come soon," we say, "bring your flowers and your lovely foliage. We long for you! Friday, January 31, 2014. I want to see that!

I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Friday, January 24, 2014. A journal for dreamers . . . those with vision and faith . . . a bucket list journal. When the thought comes to mind, "I want to go there! I want to see that! I should do that sometime! I run to my bucket list journal as soon as possible and write those thoughts down. Some of the things on my list are simple, easier than others. Number 21 seems a far out desire "Walk on the Great Wall of China". I don't know if that will ever ...I wou...

http://cheribunch.blogspot.com/2014/03/people-were-pressed-into-big-room-now.html
I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Friday, March 14, 2014. People were pressed into the big room now made small by a bazillion tables heaped with used books, and many book lovers rummaging through them. My son, Caleb, and I were at a huge used book sale. Though we were pressed on every side, still, I felt a gaze upon me, a smiling, happy shadow at my shoulder. He was enjoying my delight at the treasure before me. He had been waiting for the buyer. Had the book once been his beloveds? Next thing...

Seven Branches: October 2012
http://cheribunch.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. The back of my hand brushed the ivory cresses of her cheek, feather-like, brushing away her tear. Come closer she whispered. I embraced her fragile frame, "you are my best friend" her voice wrapped in weakness spoke to me. I couldn't imagine it, me? I had known her for such a short time. She lived in room 37, the revolving door of the home. How many crossed her threshold each and every day? She thought that much of me? Back Row: Cal...

I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. The "quill of Your will" is on my heart this morning, what have you already penned concerning me? What is Your hope for my life? What is the scope of Your desire for me? I want to know. More than anything, I want to know! And yet . . . I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." Lamentations 3:24 NIV. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Click on picture to visit THREADBARE. O God, you are ...

I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Saturday, February 1, 2014. We met for coffee, doughnuts, and girltalk. It is a favorite passtime and one that does not occur nearly enough. "For your birthday," she says. I open the card, sweetness and smiles. She told me that she prayerfully considered her words. I can call you for prayer," one little red heart says. I can call her for prayer, too. "SOS! My dearest friends know the code I use for help. Whatever would I do without these dear people? I hope yo...

Seven Branches: October 2013
http://cheribunch.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Thursday, October 31, 2013. We gather for celebration; aunts, uncles, cousins. It is not always the case. At times we must gather to mourn the loss of a loved one who passes. It is fun that a birthday is the reason we are together. I love these family times. Many miles separate us, so they are few. We talk about those we miss. We are celebrating, but we spend a bit of time lamenting. We twirled round and round and round again! Her face was glowing; I believe!

Seven Branches: November 2013
http://cheribunch.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
I am the vine, you are the branches," Jesus. Monday, November 25, 2013. It is the week that we consider all the reasons we should be thankful. Today I want to share about one for whom I am truly grateful. Her timing is impeccable. Whenever I get discouraged and feel like throwing in the towel, invariably my phone rings. She is my cheerleader. Do you have one? Everyone should have at least one or two or three of them in their lives . Sometimes I need several in a day. You can do it! You can do it! Shala h...
