The Kneeling Camel
The camel at the close of day,Kneels down upon the sandy plain,
To have his burden lifted off,
And rest again.
My soul, I too shouldst to my knees,
My soul, I too shouldst to my knees,
When daylight draweth to a close,
And let my Master lift my load,
And grant repose.
Else how canst I tomorrow meet,
With all tomorrow's work to do.
If I, my burden all the night,
Doth carry through?
Else how canst I tomorrow meet,
With all tomorrow's work to do.
If I, my burden all the night,
Doth carry through?
The camel kneels at break of day,
To have his guide replace his load.
Then rises up anew to take,
To have his guide replace his load.
Then rises up anew to take,
The desert road.
So I shouldst kneel at morning dawn,
That God may give my daily care,
Assured that He no load too great,
Will make me bear.
So I shouldst kneel at morning dawn,
That God may give my daily care,
Assured that He no load too great,
Will make me bear.

This is that good Friday morning that we are always looking for. It helps me to just think about it.

We should check on the Eagle Web Cam today, It won't be long until things will begin to happen up there, it was a pleasure to watch them last year until their problems came up and then it was sad..

Time is so precious-do not waste it

Do you think that a little hot Tea or Coffee would help us to get off to a better start, I think that it would and they are both ready, hop on in here and sit a spell and see if you can make me smile. You have many times in the past. And I especially need it this morning. Dad

..and let Lucy Lowe and Laura Higgins tell you more about it. I would like to go but I am afraid that my 96 years would not let me. Laura has promised to send me a picture of Levi, he is my favorite Llama, DAD...

. We are seeing another warm morning and it makes me smile. It is 53 here in the Tennessee Valley at 3 A.M. and again we are supposed to have more of that good sunshine today. This does help us all to feel better. I do feel like getting out and see what I can find that needs to be done.
.
We had a visit with Mary's doctor yesterday morning, We are hopeful that the things that he changed will be helpful. Mary and I both have good doctors and we do trust and appreciate them. I have not talked to
Mary yet this morning, when I do if there is any changes I will let you know. I am going to let her sleep a little later this morning. Dad.

Keep your eye on the webb page above, as Tomato season draws near here in The Tennessee Valley we will be showing lots of interesting things. We will be installing the cam near the garden next week.
.
Here are my thoughts for this Friday.
..
" Ceremonies are different in every country, but true kindness, politeness and Love for others is everywhere the same ,in all countries around the world."
.
And this,
.
" Keep your enthusisams, , and forget your birthdays--formula for youth."
.
These two different thoughts are from Apples of Gold.
.
I am going to let this be it for today. I do wan't to come back on Saturday if you will let me. We hope that all goes well for you today. Thanks so much for all your comments. Why do you even read this when there are so many good things that you could be reading ? But I do Thank you because you do. Sending love to all of you.

Hope Mary starts to feeling better and I hope you feel better as the day goes on, too, Dad. That sunshine can work wonders on body and mind.
Good Morning and Happy Friday. It's the last day of this work week so I am happy and sharing a smile with you today. Hope Mary is feeling better and that you both have a great Friday. 'On Ya'-ma
Good morning...hope we hear Mary is feeling better...have a great FRI..;)
Good Morning Dad. Hope Mary feels better. You have a good day.
Hello Dad ~ I do hope Mary is feeling better ~ I popped in to see the Eagles but they are still relocating the nest ~ thankyou for my Cuppa ~ look forward to seeing you tomorrow ~ Ally x
Good morning Dad, I am glad that you feel like getting outside today. I hope Mary will feel better once she is up and about. Have a good Friday. Helen
Hello Dad, I hope that Mary is feeling better today. I had jury duty this morning and wasn't picked so I got out of there earlier than I thought. It is a nice to day to have off though. It is supposed to be in the 60's here today so I am looking forward to that. Have a wonderful weekend. Linda
You asked why we read... I can only speak for myself. I read because your message is always inspiring, and I read because it's kind of like having my own dad back with me, even though he's been gone for 20 years, and most of all, I read because you are a very special man and I love you and care about you... even though we've never met. Your heart shines through in your journal, and it is a beautiful heart.
Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:
Well, I was going to say, "Probably because we LOVE you, Dad, and you give us something that's pretty hard to find anywhere else!" but your friend Becky said it even better; I echo her thoughts except that my dad's only been away for just shy of eight months -- doesn't seem possible it's been that long.
I hope Ms. Mary is feeling a lot better and I'm very glad you both have good and trusted doctors. That is so important!
I saw an eagle in the nest, even though it's dark now...and I saw some cars driving near your house. :)
Have a comfortable and peaceful evening, and I look forward to checking in again tomorrow. Love and hugs to you both, Jamaka and fams
