Praying for you, Judith, though by now Ii think you will already be home from your appointments. Praying for your comfort and healing.
Linda, sorry you lost your post. It's so frustrating when that happens, not to mention the waste of time and effort.
Barb, hoping Amy got home safely. Praying for your Mom too.

I will try to recreate my post from last night. We have been doing a series on the book of Matthew this year. Glenn's sermon was on the patience of Jesus in Matthew. He used examples from chapter 1-22 of Jesus trying to gently tell the Jewish leaders that they were more concerned with the law and traditions then they were the people they led. He said that God wanted "mercy not sacrifice". Their hearts were hard and did not listen. In chapter 23 he was very bold with the leaders who did not listen to him. He called them blind guides, hypocrites and fools. Jesus was very patient with them as he is with us. He tries to help us live closer to him in many ways - through scripture, through prayer, through circumstances, etc but we like the Jewish leaders are not always listening clearly. Glenn asked us to look at our lives and see if there are areas where we need to change to have Jesus' love he had for those he encountered. How long with He be patient with us? There will come a time when we will be accountable for our response to the Holy Spirit's leading. How long will He be patient with the leaders of our countries? I do not see them making Godly changes. They will be called to account also. On Saturday I went to the ARC which is a used clothing store and bought some jeans to use at the cabin and the trailer. The price was 50% off so I got three pairs of jeans for $11. I was very excited since my old jeans were falling apart. I had patched them but even with that, the material was getting very thin.
Judith - praying for your appointment today that you will be healed enough for him to be able to treat you. You were talking about family dinners. We lived a ways from the church so we did not have people come over very often. The preacher did come occasionally but that was about all. Many times Mom would put something in the oven and program it to start cooking while we were in church. When we got home, our meal was ready. Once I left to go to college, I did not live at home any more. We lived in Colorado, Illinois, and Wisconsin so going home for family dinners was not possible. My brother also lived out of state so I do not have memories of getting together as a family after I was married. We did have people over to eat with my own family and the kids had their friends over to eat and sleep. Teenagers can eat a lot!!! We try to have family dinners in Westminster when there are birthday or other celebrations. It seems everyone is so busy now that it has to be a plan and a reason to get everyone together. It will be interesting to see what happens not that our oldest granddaughter is going off to college.
Barb - I am so glad that the rains did not result into flooding. I am sure that 3's family will miss Amy being there but also Amy probably is mourning having empty arms that were busy with the family too. I pray that she had a safe trip home. I am praying for your mother's pain. It is so hard to have family visiting and not over do it. I hope she can get some rest and relief. You said that Annabella was a happy baby. I am glad that all the changes in life with the surgery and all the changes that brought have not seemed to affect her.
Susan - the fried egg sandwich sounds delicious. It has been a while since I had one of those. What kind of bread do you use since you are gluten free? Yes, I did get to bed early so I could get up to be at church early on Sunday. I can't say I was rested because it does take a while for me to fall asleep but I was ready 10 minutes early for once.
I will post later once more people have posted. For now that is all I can remember saying last night.

Glad you could post just now, Linda. Glenn's sermon sounds wonderful. Glad you found some jeans! Have you ever heard of Sashiko work? The Japanese used to.patch their clothing with similar fabrics using quilting and embroidery stitching. Maybe you could play with their ideas and sacrifice an old pair of jeans to create unique ones with another of your worn pairs. Just an idea! As for bread, my dietician put me on to a low FODMAPS bread made by Baker's Delight. It is gluten free and has none of the other nasties in it that cause me to react. It is not dry and crumbly like so many other gf breads. I can toast it, or use it like regular sandwich bread. I also buzz my own gf crumbs up with pieces of it in a blender and use it wherever bread crumbs are called for. It replaces buns for me when I make hamburgers. It does tend to fall apart a bit when using it as hamburger buns but it still tastes pretty good.

Judith praying for you. Sure hope you got some answers. Plus prayers for more healing. Sleep well too praying.
Are you wore out? 🙏🙏Linda. Glenn’s sermon sounds very god. Thank you for sharing it with us.
So neat that you got some jeans. A good price too. Enjoy them.Susan. A fried egg sandwich sounds good kind of reminds me of Mc Donald’s egg McMuffin though I’m sure different.
Amy is safely home in Hong Kong. Now I pray she can get use to HK time. That may take a bit.
Si my mom was in a lot of pain & my sister still not well afraid has a virus so didn’t want times my mom. So an ambulance was called. They checked her blood, X-rays & CT scan. All normal so Cheryl was probably right. She may have a MRI when Cher is there on Thursday.
I’m sure my mom will be complaining about the hospital bill.Cher told me that mom walked around last night in her walker for exercise. So that might not of helped her. Hope she rests now.
Sometimes God just wants something Him. That was we listen to Him.
We got 3 to the therapy on time but left his sandwich in refrigerator. So I went back to get it. Maybe tomorrow we will get it better. Tuesday night Harry hubby places his big home at a veterans home. places meds. I hope he gets home before 3 & I can sleep. Oh well.
We will pick 3 up on Wednesday from therapy. Maybe that way find out how he did.0 -
Susan do you get warner and we will get cooler sometime. As 90’s coming back with heat index.
