I am so very tired of looking for something I just had in my hands.
I put it down somewhere, but just where that somewhere was, is a complete mystery for anywhere from 30 seconds to several agonizing minutes. The other day, I was replacing the shower head in our bathroom, and I had been using the roll of Teflon tape. When I went to use it again, it was no where to be seen. When I finally found it, I had put it back in the cabinet from whence I had taken it. Well, that was a real pisser.
Now, I’ve hung a painting, and a large piece of embroidered felt, but cannot, for the life of me, find our favorite painting, the one showing a chapel at Desierto de Liones, a former convent about 45 minutes from where I am now. We visited one time when we first came down on vacation, and we bought the painting to remember the visit. It has been here, in the living room for ages.
Until now. Now, when I’m finally ready to hang it, I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve prayed about it, asking God to please show me where I put it, and
Nope. Nothing yet. One of these days He’ll show me where it is. This must be a lessen in patience. Not sure why though. I’ve become quite patient since moving here.
Even if I have to say so myself. I guess I just did.
I’ll let you know when He makes it clear to me where the painting is hiding, and if it’s here, and not still in Bettendorf, I’ll hang it in the bedroom, I’ll take a photo and let you see it. For now, though, I have only hung up the painting of a cute, small cottage with beautiful bougainvilleas that we bought years ago.
That’s sure going to be something if we left it with our neighbors that bought our house. I’ll definitely let you know.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
Post script: a very happy, though belated birthday to our grandson Lucas, and a happy birthday to our granddaughter Sawyer. Missing you both more than words can say.
Post post script: It’s 9/15/25, and the Lord has decided, I guess, that I’ve shown enough patience for this event. I was led to the painting this morning, and have hung it on the wall in our bedroom. Let me show you.
