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.
