Bright Pink

By Kay Heitsch

Last week, I experienced something odd I would like to share with you.

As most of you know, I like to shovel. In the mornings, I am outside early. Since the sun hasn't risen yet, I don't wear sunglasses. One day, I was out later than usual, and the sun came out. When I came inside, everything was bright pink.

It scared me, so I went online to see if anything had been written about it. Sure enough, there was.

I read that what I was experiencing was called Afterimage. It's where your eye's photoreceptor cells become fatigued after exposure to intense light, causing the complementary color bright pink to be perceived when looking at something else.

I was happy to find that I wasn't looking through bloody eyes. From now on, I'll wear sunglasses when I'm outside.

Just Like That

Life can change just like that. ~ Life Quotes ~

You never know what a day will hold. For me, February 6th holds many moments like that.

It was February 6th that Todd, my dad, and two uncles all died just like that.

Just like that, my life changed!

But I'm thankful to report that my life improved when I gave it to the Lord. He has made good out of these sad moments.

Our Bible verse says. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who live God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8:28.

God has caused everything to work together for good. I am thankful for that.

I Will Remember

Every moment can be a memory. ~ Remember Quotes ~

People often ask Shannon what our grandson Noah's unique ability is. Usually, people with a form of autism can do things other people find difficult. Only 50 people in the world have been diagnosed with Noah's syndrome.

Noah's unique ability is his memory of little details that most family members have forgotten. For example, at almost 16, he remembers wearing pull-ups at a cabin we stayed at one summer when he was 3. He also remembers what he ate and where he ate it years ago; Noah also remembers dates and days. It's mind-boggling at times.

Our Bible verse says. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. Psalm 77:11 NIV

I may not remember what Noah did until he jogs my memory, but I pray I will never forget the LORD's deeds and miracles.

Every moment can be a memory.
