Thoughtful Thursday

What a day Honey took me to therapy,trying not to be to disappointed ,but thought I would be further along than I am. See the Dr next Wed and therapist thinks I may need two more weeks of therapy.Bummer.
I got to thinking How blessed I am honey is big help and if I ask will do most anything for me.
All of my family are healthy.I can worship the Lord openly.I am involved in a wonderful ministry.My church family are very supportive when I need it.Beautiful women in my life for girl friend stuff.
So what if it takes longer than I thought to get rid of the heel pain I know it is on it's way out! God is so faithful and can use me wright where I am.Glory ! His word tells me in Philippians 4 :6-8 (check it out)
Yes if there be anything of good report think on these things.
Today I am thankful how about you ?
May the Lord bless your socks off today !

Needles of Faith

Yesterday my friend Edna and I delivered 2 prayer blankets.One to a 84 year old woman in hospital,her son had put her on prayer list and also wasn't sure if she knew where she would go in the event of her death.God provided us an opportunity to witness to her and without a doubt she is going home to spend her life with the Lord.Relief and Glory for her son.She was really precious.
Other blanket went to a young woman she was home and recuperating from surgery,her husband was home helping her,lovely couple and they wanted to know all about our ministry.Husband even ask if we had had lunch he left for a bit and returned said "they would like to make a donation to our ministry and also buy us lunch" this was a surprise and what a blessing.God is so faithful even when we are not .Edna and I had talked about the weather and snow starting and maybe we would stay home but we prayed and ask the Lord to help us and of course He did and when we do His will we are so blessed.Sometimes it is not always easy and have to remind ourselves who we are working for and why.
We went and had a great lunch,and will put the donation in our ministry fund.
Well today is another story we ended up getting 12.5 inches of snow and it has kept me in so I thought maybe I would try and take a picture of our prayer blanket and baby blankets and chemo caps my camera is old and I am not much better at taking pictures than I am at this blogging stuff but maybe you can get the just of some of what Needles of Faith makes we also make burp cloths and afghans for a shelter and sweaters for a program out of New York that sends them overseas to children in really cold places.There are 10 talented women who work very hard to keep items made.I feel so blessed to be a part of this ministry.We make sure we pray as we are making items and with those we are able to deliver them to.

Here it is Saturday again

Week started out kind of pukie as Tina and Mike had to evict there renter and he had trashed the house.Honey and I went over on his day off and helped where we could.It was so sad and very hard for Tina as this once had been her home and so many good memories,I thank God for her and she pulled herself out of it and rolled up her sleeves and believes they will get a great responsible renter someone they can give a chance to make a home too.She amazes me ,but I know her heart.In agreement with her in prayer for this.
Made me think of boundaries and how we need to set them and keep them in business and friendships.It is so hard sometimes to know where to draw the line as some people will take advantage of situations.I am reminded the only sure thing is the Lord as He will not leave or forsake us He is faithful and the truth,when we turn to Him and listen He really knows best and wants the best for us and on this I will stand.
Enough preaching.
My therapy is doing ok but my therapist suggested we try something along with exercises they put a patch with electrode on my heel and another on my calf oh the one on my heel also had medicine on it this all was hook to a box and turned it on no pain but treatment lasted 15 min.Think this help as when I first went in that day heel was screaming and when I left was better and seems to be better today too.Have another week of therapy before see Dr again they mentioned doing another treatment a longer one next week we will see know it is getting better just takes time and it is not going to stop me from greeting on Sunday and giving out some Jesus love to church.
Honey is gone for evening to a Pacer game with Son and grandson. Oldest granddaughter will be home from school this weekend too hope to see the family .
Think I will finish my book The Fisherman a novel it is an account of Peter and relationship with the Master from his flesh,mind and spiritual side .Stimulating read and really made me think.
May God bless your socks off this weekend.

Great Gals

Here we are at Bonnie & Clides restaurant in Shelbyville In.Just look at us clowning around,the owner took our picture so we could all be in it.Notice the machine guns and money bag.The place was an old bank and is really neat inside.
What fun we had great food and fellowship was wonderful.These are some very special women in my life,we can talk about anything and everything and share our love for Jesus.We try and get together once a month and try different places to have lunch.Girls day out and can you believe it no shopping ??
I thank the Lord for my friends.We are meant to have relationships .Do you have special friends,be sure and get together and have some fun.
May God bless your socks off this weekend.

Freezing Friday

Ok so it's cold outside and you are oh so warm inside,this gave a heavy heart and I ask the Lord to watch over all who had to be outside especially the homeless.So sad that some choose to live homeless and others cannot help it because of our economy or mental health problems.So we need to stand in the gap and pray or offer ourselves in whatever way we can nothing is too small or insignificant.Ok I'll get off my soapbox.
So glad my daughter turned me on to Blogging but have to watch I am slow with checking out other blogs plus my typing is not that fast and general knowledge of computer which amazed me when I learn something new.Didn't say I can always remember what I did but was fun while I did it.
Fixed two pots of bean soup last night one northern with ham and one Cajun with tomatoes chilies and ground deer was deli sh with it so cold.Shared northern with neighbor and her family.
For tonight will fix something different for honey but I will hit the beans again.
Talked to all the kids in past two days all are keeping warm think the Wll game will come in handy this week-end with the weather so cold.They all seem to really enjoy playing together they all still play board games too.Sat night family night popcorn and soda fun and games and this week-end Em is coming home from college it will be hopping at their house.
Have some fun and take a chance get out a puzzle or board game and enjoy each other even me and my honey played battleship yesterday hope we do it again after I sunk his ships.He was good sport so think it is ok.
Got to go or I will just keep rambling. May the Lord bless your socks off !

Blog List

I did it ! My daughter is so great and encourages me to stretch. I did it sis I got my blog list created thanks to you.Kind of like our walk with the Lord you know the Holy Spirit promts us then tells us and encourages us to see opportunities or better choices and we sometimes try not to hear or ignor.What a difference as we can say we got through it and give all the glory where it belongs.Gets me so excited when I take time to listen.In todays times remember with God's help,carry your burdens and seek solutions,He is just waiting to give His help and encouragement!
Lord help me be spontaneous and quick to praise ! My socks are blessed off how about you?

Burrr

Boy it is cold outside and the snow is beautiful.Honey is off otday took me to therapy,goodwill got couple of goodies and was Sr day so did real good.I had some blankets for our shelter in town we dropped them off and they were so happy.when someone leaves the shelter they get to take blanket with them,love that.Needles of Faith prays while we make items.
Stopped at post office sent off a prayer blanket to Ohio.
Of corse we needed gas and stopped at Kroger for a few things.Everwhere we went Lord blessed us with great praking spot.Sometimes we forget He is with us in all we say and do.One thing I notice at my age I am in not big rush,think that helps see and hear Him in so many things of the day.He is so good and all the time.Hebrews 3:13 encourage one another daily . My honey is such a helpmate I need to be reminded to let him know how much I appreciate him. Encourage someone this week or several if the opportunity arises and may the Lord bless your socks off .

Wii what fun

Honey was off this past week-end and we went to one of our daughter's house for a fish fry.The men in the family caught the fish last year and Garrett and Levi helped me clean some of them.We had a mixture of crappie blue gill and large mouth bass.Of course we had cole slaw and rolls and home made mac and cheese which daughter in law made .Everything was so yummy and we even had a little fish left good thing too Tina's honey had to work so we made sure he had generous plate of goodies.
Good food and now time to get to the fun part as you can see in picture two of the young men boxed on the Wll they were so much fun to watch and honey and I even gave it a try I was a hoot at bowling but was good exercise and loved being with the family.If you don't have a Wll find someone who does and try it you'll like it and can do it small children to big kids like me.
Monday came and went to physical therapy for foot and he used the plastic tool the torture tool but said it would help the most think he likes to see folks reaction to the tool.I have been doing exercises at home too but today foot is really screaming.Go back tomorrow maybe more tool torture will help.Hope so.
One good thing I have been crocheting more since off of foot some.Working on a boy baby blanket for Needles of Faith Ministry.
We also have a prayer blanket to deliver Fri afternoon,this is such a wonderful thing to be able to bless folks and pray with them and know the work of our hands glorifies the one who made us.Glory.We have 10 wonderful women all of them talented some like to knit better some crochet and of coarse we sew too,that's why the name Needles of Faith and we pray as we make things for others.God has blessed us with donations of yarn and money to buy what we need He always provides. This is hard time for many with job losses and cost of everything but think about it He will provide our needs not wants but needs He promises us. Well hay have rambled enough May the Lord Bless your socks off.

Ramblings mid week

What a start. Car needed new battery and of course had to take to dealer ship which cost $189.for battery and to install it.But this is good, car is running great and starts every time.Car is 10 years old but paid for so shut my mouth.That was Mon.On Tue.honey was chauffeur and we picked up Phyllis went to bank,pharmacy,store and taco bell.I needed to go to store too,so this worked out great except for one thing my heel was killing me by time we got home so made apt with foot Dr. Today blood let at 8:15 then off to foot DR. good news is he thinks we can get this taken care of with physical therapy and shoe insert should know in about 4 weeks he called it plantar faciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue that extends from heel to toes.He did give me an excuse to get some furry clogs said they would be good when I am home and to not I mean not go barefoot even if I get out of bed to go to bathroom.I am such a barefoot person but if it will help ok.Boy now have to schedule therapy and get back on the ball to loose weight too.Phyllis had eye Dr apt and I was able to get there before Dr. had seen her,bless her she has some problems with left eye and has lost some vision but right eye is 20 20 with her glasses not sure she fully understands maybe she is better off.She is so sweet.like helping her as she cannot read very well and is 68 makes me wonder how many others are out there needing a little help.
I am just rambling but these are my thoughts and good to get them out.
Got a deer roast in crock pot going to make some stew and house is warm and don't have to go out again today. When I see all this in print I can't help I have so much to be thankful for and as I reflect on last evening my heart is heavy a sweet dear one of the Lords children was found dead by her father and step mom not sure what happened or why but she has a young daughter about the age of my grandsons and I can't imagine how hard this must be for them all. I ask for prayer for this family as coming days may be tough but yes they will get through them by Gods good grace and mercy.Help me Lord to remember life is short embrace each day as a blessing not a curse or drudgery no matter what we are doing or where we are going we have a choice.
I choose peace,joy,kindness,gentleness,love this day and may you too choose for God to bless your socks off today.

Seams like a Monday

I am still trying to catch up as my mind is saying this is a new year and Sat not Mon. Honey is working and I am still trying to put away Christmas stuff.I have tried sleepiing in ,wiggling my nose , asking it all to jump back in the boxes it came out of and you know there it still is calling me to do the job.Time to get out pom poms and cheer myself on to a job finished,especially before honey gets home.Guess part of me has to say good bye to another year and boy do they fly by.Think maybe I have a little cabin fever with car broke down and getting over broncitis enough of this DRA you know dirty rotten attitude. I am greatful tomorrow is Sun and I get to greet at the early service.This is a time to put out Jesus love all over the church,what a joy and privilage.Thank you Lord I am ready with you by my side we can get this job done.Put on the music cause here we come.
Happy Sat and may the Lord bless your socks off !

2009

January 1 2009 This is a great day son in law is celebrating his birthday as I type or at least I hope he is. He is such a good husband and father and provider I am so proud of him.Sure they are playing the W11 as Tina made pro bowler and they may have a chance to catch her now as she has bowlers arm.What fun.
Heard from all the children last night as Dad and I spent a quiet evening home we snacked and played dice game until honey beat me one to many times,think it may call for a rematch.
The cabbage is on and honey hasn't left yet he dislikes the smell while it is cooking but think he is more into a ball game or maybe a little nap.
I pray blessings on all family and hope for the new year.
I pray for our leaders in their coming in office and leaving,may they seek Him first in all they say and do. Jesus amen.
