Love today

I do not think I am afraid to die, but I find myself asking God Please God can I stay long enough to see all three daughters married and I want to know my grandchildren. At times begging for more time and I wonder why do my thoughts go here ? I am unsure of that answer but after seeing Eric's story I will not deny the whisper I hear and I know the voice. As my body already shows signs of failing at 47 years old and my mind now starts to not know where it is sometimes, lost when I recognize where I am, with the cardiovascular problems and the doctors trying to save my legs and my life, yet unable to put down the cigarette which could buy me more time, In the end of it all I have no control, the day has already been determined, the plan is God's and I surrender to my God and king! My life is not my own and I will treasure the moments that I have right now not worrying about tomorrow and Love with all I have today...

Girl Scout Cookies

Got my order in, can hardly wait to go get those yummy desserts we delight in once a year. I recently have had the opportunity to help other worthy causes also, The prison pen pal minstry which only requires e few moments of time a stamp a piece of paper and an envelope and the sharing between strangers who soon become friends. Then there are always things in the community and many other opportunities to give of ones time or monetary goods. It always amazes me how God takes our helping others and continually turns it around into a blessing for us. It is better to give than recieve yet in giving I always recieve !

Not Again !

The call goes in to dispatch, it's always kinda fun because we never know where they are sending us. This however was not so pleasant, Omaha Nebraska then on to Rapid City South Dakota... Glad to go to Rapid and get to see Steph but there is a blizzard, all the reports say the storm of all storms. If there is one thing I fear it is this truck on ice. I pray and seek God for he is my comforter, My strength, My protector. I shall not fear for my God is with me..

I whisper God please melt the ice.....

Choices

4:30 Am shelbyville Tennessee awoke to than undeniable need we all have, entering the dark parking lot and surprised that it was absolutely beautiful outside. The stillnesss and quiet as I looked around, there was no snow and I smiled inside and thanked God. Seems as though we have had a very cold winter and a lot of snow. Returning to the truck I decided to stay up and just take in the peacefulness of my surroundings. As I returned to the bed I was startled to find my little Gus had needed to go with me on my journey, I abruptly found that out via my foot. In that moment startled as I was I had a choice, I could have a fit and make a big deal of it or deal with it and realize the poor little guy had needed a break as much as I . So I chose to clean the foot and the rug and pick Gus up forgive him and off to sleep we went . Together we snuggled and slept for three hours and thus started our first day of February. This was his first and only accident out on the road he has been a very good traveler. I dont know if I am just getting old but I feel as though that this is another sign of that changed heart. Thank you Lord for my new heart, For this new day ! Amen............

A Whisper The old heart would have thrown quite a fit!!

Breakfast in Nashville with Big brother

We were able to share breakfast with Bobs brother this morning in Nashville. Sitting at the table for just a short time, blessed that our new journey allow us to be in the same place, share a meal and a cup of coffee and visit. Lord Thank you for Family and friends, those gifts that are not wrapped up in pretty boxes only opened on special occassions..Bob loves his big brother and I enjoy watching the two of them, thank goodness they have gotten older and wiser !!

Suffering part 2

As I said we here in America don't know what suffering is ! Yet when our lives tumble and twist and turn us upside down it does not seem or feel trivial. I think the key here is feel, what we feel may not be truth.
We have the freedom to openly worship and pray and go to church, and to share the gospel message! That is Freedom. We are not put in prison, beaten, tortured our children taken from us, our purpose if we call ourselves "Christians" To Glorify Christ and share the gospel message.I really thought I had a rough life, God is revealing to me that I have much to learn and I am thankful today for a teachable heart.

A Whisper A new heart... Thank you JESUS

Egypt

Used to be the only thing I knew of Egypt was a three phrase saying that was'nt worth repeating and at times can still catch myself referring to some far off the beaten path as such.. As I am learning of other countries I am shocked that people truly have to live with such suffering and fear.. We here in the America
do not know what suffering is!!
