A DAY OR SO IN MY LIFE! WHO CARES?

Isn't a good life for your children what every parent wants. We want the best for them, a good relationship with them and we feel all is well. Not so! We want the good life as we see it not necessarily as they see or want it. Anything different often drives us up the wall. The Lord often wants discord between parents and children so the child can find the perfect plan he has for that child's life. He wants that child to have the strength and courage to find it his or her own path from God. If we... Sign in to see full entry.

For a few weeks now I have been able to do things I could not for almost fourteen years. It is such a blessing. It is like a new life, not just a lease on this one but a new one. Today I worked in the yard, planted new pots for the front porch, and felt wonderful. It was a beautiful day, hot but not searing hot as earlier ones have been. A gentle breeze blew through the pecan trees cooling the area enough to be content to remain outside. While everybody buys mums for the fall, I pulled a trick.... Sign in to see full entry.

Some time ago I thought I was a curse. All those I loved kept dying all around me. My parents and my sons were dead and I had no sibings. Only my daughter was left. Who did I think I was any way? I did not give them life, even if I bore the sons. Whether I was a curse was not my judgement to call; I was being self pitying. It was God who loaned them to me, and me to those parents. I was here for another purpose; I didn't yet know what it was. After seeing other mothers lose children from drugs... Sign in to see full entry.

This morning was George's day for music ministry for the recovery group. He knew I was tired from yesterday and last night and he let me sleep until he returned. When I began breakfast I didn't have any bread for toast. In my younger day I would have made biscuits and never thought of it. Now I ask George to go to the store please and get bread. He did and dropped off the cake I baked for the friend who will undoubtedly have family in today. I noticed I had not seen Mercy (our cat) but I knew... Sign in to see full entry.

We are rarely in bed before 1 a.m. because most of the time George's work is 3 p.m. until 11 p.m.. He was off today and we were up late until about 3 a.m. yet both of us were wide awake at about six o'clock. Maybe only an hour later the phones began. A friend of ours mother was dying. The family was meeting today to make the decision to take off the life support. We were needed to be there to support and pray for and with them. Two other friends were there when we arrived. The family was doing... Sign in to see full entry.

It has been a long time but I remember the broken bones, cuts and scratches. Some actions I thought would kill them for sure. Boys are little warriors in training from the womb I do believe. All of you who have been on here very long know I have a little grandson, Samuel. He is a gentle child in usual social interaction. On the field in any sport he is so competitive and when it comes to cuts, breaks, bumps and bruises he appears to go out of his way to get his share. Yesterday his mom called me...

Oh I must not covet another's property. I wish I could have bought that shiny Jeep SUV a Jimmy I believe they called it. But no it was crushed to keep it off the road. I am driving a thoroughbred clunker and I can't have one of those cars for a small price, I could pay as much as it takes to crush it I guess. I know God is in my corner. He always come through unless I get in the way. I am 'afraid' I am about to do that. I am getting nervous. It is really hitting bottom when your tithe check... Sign in to see full entry.

Women broken seeking wholeness We are getting ready for class Only half of them are in the room Where are they today or any day They’re hunting, trolling, seeking Looking for anybody to really love them They’ve been through a recovery program Still they are but shards and splinters Puzzle pieces of once beautiful women The pieces don’t interlock they must be glued They are far more valuable than Humpty Dumpty They have been clean for at least six months Before that a year, five some of them more...

Looks like Michael Vick is not worth as much lately! Is someone about to turn his lights out? It is not likely he will be left to do without treatment if he should come down with some horrific disease. He has been judged on the value of what he does. Is that a real stretch? My mother died at 79. She had a variety of ailments including alzheimer which they did not diagnose at the time with true confirmation. Up until the last few weeks before her death she could be up and around. She was... Sign in to see full entry.

I know for sure that all of you grandparents on Blogit think you have the most beautiful grand children in the world. I hate to burst your bubble but I have the most beautiful ones. The boy is from my side and the girls are from George's but we share them. Needless to say we want the very best life possible for them. We want them to be raised with Christian values, good morals, good manners, a good work ethic, studious and inquisitive, we want the best health possible for them; good educations...

I don't need to know all about your business. I don't need to know any more than you want to share; however, I like to read those who are more than a post to me. Those who have no ' about me page' are a bit suspect to me. I haven't a clue if those of us who do have are telling the truth. They appear to me to be more real because they have uncovered enough of themselves to allow me to believe they are real at any rate. If people are really 'out there' you will tell that in time from their posts... Sign in to see full entry.

Part of the joy of writing on Blogit is the diversity of all of us. We come from an array of countries, some small towns, some large and busy cities and others from the country side. Yet we find things to share in our blogs. There are black, white, red, yellow and brown. We write through that without trouble with very few exceptions. We usually understand the other and make allowances for those concepts that are outside our own understanding. Muslim, Jew, Hindi, Buddhist, Catholic Christians and... Sign in to see full entry.

This maybe is just my thinking but I noticed lately when I post a comment on a Lustorlove blog she responds. I realize she never stopped doing that. Once we all did it that way. Have we come to take a lot for granted? When you leave a comment on my post that reminds me I haven't read you today. So rather than respond to your comment I run over to your blog and leave you a comment. I don't like that! I am not giving my readers the consideration I once did; that is to read their comments and write... Sign in to see full entry.

I found a new doctor in January. I was diagnosed with a new group of ailments but I have been getting excellent and I do mean excellent treatment. I have also learned a lot about the different conditions. In the few months treatment I am so much better it is unbelievable, particularly this last week. I had a bad case of shingles about five years ago. They are unbelievable. Having a baby is a cake walk compared to shingles. I didn't know until now that they will stay with you. I am receiving...

Children in our area are heading off to school and college this weekend. Some single mothers are having a very hard time getting all the materials they need. Our state is having a tax vacation today and tomorrow on school supplies, clothes and many things associated with their getting them going again. That is a huge help. I wish we had tax free groceries in our state. I understand some states do have this. Our state at this moment is hurting from low revenues anyway. It takes a lot to get them...

I only have seven girls in my jail ministry group this week. There are more up in the Jail but as is anywhere today, many don't want to know anything about Religion. But those who joined me were all in there for alcohol related offences. They are good women, messed up. Could that be me? Could that be you? Have you ever had one or two too many? Have you ever driven an automobile after having had an extra? I rest my case on this. I have no problem with a drink, a glass of wine, if you do not have... Sign in to see full entry.

I am not likely to recognize you if you knock on my door before noon. It is difficult for me to clarify who I am before that time of day. Lo and behold my door bell began a scream like a goat in distress early this morning. Not that the door bell is like that normally but some signal went a miss between the bell and my ear. I grabbed a robe and rushed to the door thinking it might just be President Obama wanting to deliver me a new car of a few house note payments... No! It was a man from the...

I am beginning to feel the benefits of some of the medications I have been on for a month now. I had a wonderful day full of strength and blessing. Forgive me for carrying on my 'organ recital' of all my aches and pains. When they all begin to merge and complain I get little done so I have pity parties. I feel as if I should write, but often nothing is very cheery. Today is good. All days are good, it is my attitude that has been sour as wild grapes. I have been studying for my work with the...

I want to thank all of you who have been so encouraging lately. I am going to be fine soon. God bless all of you. Today I went in complaining that these glasses were not lasting as long as I had hoped. Madam Doctor says glasses are lasting well, the eyes are not doing as well. It is not blurred vision, but ripe cataracts that is fuzzing up the works. We can't do surgery for a while yet because I have a lid infection low grade and dryness of my eyes. I have to treat these a month or so then it is... Sign in to see full entry.
