Windchimes are like little bells, aren't they? I have three sets hanging from my patio eaves. They let me know with their beautiful sound what kind of weather we are having without me even having to rise out of bed to see. They also 'sing' us to sleep when gentle summer breezes blow and we are able to keep our windows open.

I will listen to these sounds with a new appreciation now. They are but small bells ringing in Praise for our Lord!

They are indeed, K. Am I am learning daily how to be a better listener. I hope to begin to be so keen that I can almost hear His footsteps approaching me.

Ed and K,

I like this bell thing. I have windchimes too and have always thought of the Holy Spirit when they ring, since the Spirit is compared with the wind, that you cannot see, but you can see what He does.

Whenever I am having my quiet time, hearing the windchimes just serves to make me feel in His presence all the more.

Thanks for these thoughts.

Blessings Sistahs!

I dearly love wind chimes. If I have nowhere to hang them outdoors, I will hang them indoors. They ring much less often indoors but they still ring.

Now for what really hit me like a kick in the head when I read the post from TraumaGoddess. This afternoon, I took a nap. I dreamed about bamboo windchimes and my grandmother. For some reason, the windchimes had come apart and I was putting them back together in a different pattern to make for a better chance of all the chimes getting to ring.

Unfortuneately, all we talked about was the windchimes and whether or not I could really fix them. Finally, I had it all worked out and showed her that all I needed was to get some button thread the same color (beige) to make it look like it'd never broken in the first place.

Cinder, you rock. I had always had the untruth of an angel getting its wings lodged in my head.

Rhia, what absolute perfect timing on a dream so significant. I'll bet it signifies that Grandma always reasoned with you and gave you approval. It is great thinking about our special Grandma. A cute saying is, "God couldn't be everywhere so He made Grandma's." I know minehad paved the way for my perception and acceptance of women relationships.

Wow!

That pretty much hits the way she was right on the head. She was always encouraging.

It is so odd that I am not particularly known for comprehending what my wild and crazy dreams mean, but with others often it is so crystal clear. I am so glad you were loved---and still am!
