Oh wow, I need one of those! It will keep me from overindulging on certain foods! Amazon didn't have anything like that! They had some with six different areas, each a different size, but they are expensive! I guess I will just have to eyeball it! heeheehee!
I get to see Connie pretty much every day over on the other thread and am so happy to hear that Bill is enjoying his new home and being able to get out more!
Marilyn - I'm doing a happy dance (in my heart) for you. Wow, you are doing an awesome job with the weight loss! I did pretty well this week, but keep forgetting to get on the scale! We're cheering for you to reach that 220 by the end of the year! I've cut down some on my carbs, but need to do so a bit more. I need the carbs in the fruit and what veggies I do eat, but not the breads. I have more oat than I do wheat, which is a good thing, it digests easier.
I think my problem with Athena, Bren, is that Mom's account is still on there and I can't get around it. I can't get in to change it either, I don't have her information any more! It's only for the results of the tests and I can get lab results directly from the lab that they use and I can get results from my NP's office if I ask for it. Last time I asked I had it later that same day. Because I asked near closing time on Friday I won't get it until at least Monday afternoon or Tuesday sometime.
I hope you have a beautiful weekend and a wonderful time of worship tomorrow on Lord's Day. Love you

I joke about it being my to-go plate. I'd leave the rolls off and do pumpkin pie. I saw another thing on my FB page, using tin foil muffin pans for leftovers/take homes.
That would work well too.
I've had those veggie trays probably 3-4 times in my life and always gave them away because they were too big for the fridge and I can waste my produce without containers just as well.
I got my elastic bed skirt and new vacuum in yesterday. I had already ordered the vacuum before I figured out my old one was clogged and that's why it was spitting and fuming at me and not cleaning! I decided to go ahead and accept my new one....as one of several "unnecessary" gifts....and just enjoy using it. I'll wait until my last bug guy visit this next week, to put the bed skirt on. Then I'll get my comforter out and do my bed up proper like.
Yesterday after taking trash to the dumpster, a guy was parked in my spot, moving things in...so I pushed myself to go to the bank for my mad money, stopped to get gas and had to do the walk in to pay...I admit...I have driven away once rather than hike inside....The timing of my return was perfect as he was preparing to drive away as I came home.
So I managed to mark off 5 things on my to do list...dealing with the dishwasher was two, as I was in a lot of pain...unloading, then reloading/run. I was quite weak from my days down. I hope to feel much better today and get more done.
I had a different patient portal thing at one time and occasionally that still pops up but all my Doctors are on the same set up now as the whole system is Hendricks. They even bought out the other hospital. You've got things covered so it's all good.
I got up at 3...will put coffee on, check mail and see where I can "go" today. Be blessed today!0 -
I finally did get into Athena and it said I didn't have any results - go figure! I have no idea what that e-mail about having results was about! I didn't think the bone density results would be back that quickly though, so it's not a great disappointment. I sent a note to my NP asking that the results be put on my patient portal so hopefully they will do that. I can look things up better when I have the stuff in front of me. She also knows that I like to do research on the things wrong with me, she even told me to do some research on something that we'd talked about since I enjoyed it so much - hmmm, I would rather she do the research! But she probably has a hundred other patients that she cares for and I'm just one of the bunch!
Love y'all and am praying for you.0 -
I did get my cardiologist appt. done, praise God....and I did pray for much less pain with the torture tool...the BP cuff. I was in too much pain to go do lab work so will get that done in the morning, before my Endo appt. I had not seen him in over two years! LOL....I saw the NP the last 3 times I was in there. I love this little, cheerful blessing of a guy. My weight there was 238.4....yay. Back down from 242.
He said my BP is not good at all....has switched my meds from Lisinopril to something new. I hope to get it tomorrow, as I am out of the Lisinopril.
He recommended getting one of the desk bike things for exercise so have ordered one...and a vase for my lovely holiday flowers I got for my table. I'm to return in 3 months which put me at Feb. 27th and I told the receptionist if it was icy, I'd not get out so we went for early March. I can do that!
My bug guy came yesterday and we will do one more follow up as he found headed for dead babies and thinks the rolling cart at the end of my bed may need to go. He treated it once more, I cleaned it this morning, replaced the years old shelf liner and am hoping it can be saved. I'll comply...if I need to let it go....and get another one as I do use it. He moved the bed back towards the wall...yip, yip! Left about 4 inches for the placement of a headboard I want to get.
Here's my flowers...I got two stalks or whatever we call them...plumb purty....

Poinsettias! Well, real poinsettias don't have glitter in the center - teehee! I got some of those and cut them up to put on a wreath - sooo pretty! Wow, praise the Lord that things are nearly done and you can finally start living bug free! Yay for you getting to the doctor! So happy you bit the bullet and went. Now to get the others done and you can be on the road to feeling better. I do not want to have to go to a cardiologist, but the meds I'm on to lower my heart rate aren't working as well as they used to. Even on the med my heartrate can get up around 115-120 just walking across the yard! That isn't too high, I can safely go up to 170 (I was told that about 10 years ago), and I am rarely above 130 - but those numbers make breathing difficult and I can feel that pressure in my chest when it's beating that fast. I'm thankful for my watch which tells me where I'm at when those moments occur. I didn't call the NP this week because I was feeling better and it's just four weeks before my appointment. I doubt with the holidays they would be able to see me before then anyway! Just going to hang on until then! Today isn't very good, but am hoping that as the day rolls on I will get to feeling better.
Have a blessed day today and a day of giving thanks tomorrow. Love you!0 -
Praying for both of you with all your medical problems. I know how frustrating that can be.
Weighed myself this morning (225.2) which pleases me a lot. On November 11 I was 233.2 so that is 8 pounds down in less than a month. I am eating but am being very careful with what I put in my mouth. Staying away from bread. Last 2 morning stomach was upset so rather than oatmeal and blueberries all I had was an orange and 14 green grapes. Might have to eat that for breakfast for a week or so in order to settle the hiatus hernia. Don't like feeling sick to stomach.
So grateful that the appendix has healed - still a bit of pain every day but it is from the IBS so am taking note of what I have eaten to see how it is effecting the IBS. Discovered milk and cheerios doesn't settle well. It has been a bit difficult making the changes but changes is what is necessary. So for I am not having any salt, sugar or flour. And am eating small portions from a bread and butter plate rather than a dinner plate. Makes the difference.
Blood pressure - I take a small dosage of one and it keeps my pressure within a good range (130 / 80) but have had it as high as 150/80 which the doctor has told me is to high. Thankfully with going for blood work monthly and to the kidney clinic every 3 months we have been able to keep me off most medications (was taken up to 20 a day and now only 7) and am finding 7 to much. Would love to be able to get of the cholesterol meds so will see what the kidney doctor says about that - as to what should I change to bring the number down without medicine. Am so thankful I am now off all diabetic meds and controlling it by food. That number has never been so good and no medicine so there is truth in that food is the best medicine just need to pay attention and eat accordingly.
Matthew 6:31-34
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For the Gentile seek after all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxiou about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the da is its own trouble

But these wont shed leaves and need no attention....which real ones would do ...and be....lacking. LOL...
Today's appointment went very well. He was very concerned about my hospital runs and that low sugar episode of 24...asked if I wanted to do the CGM system as I qualify and most insurance will now cover. They will monitor glucose and send an alarm for those lows. God gives me one as well.
I am happy to stay with self monitoring and care. He's happy that my A1C is at 6,8 and my modified chart was fine with him. I told him I only check twice a day unless I run into trouble. He gave me new lab orders and I can pop in there any time to get the work done. I was in too much pain prior to my appointment.
I asked the girl in reception how to pronounce his name...LOL...all this time I've said it as I see it...Beauchamp...she said it's "Beechum"....I laughed and said I considered saying BooCoo...as I could say that but will remember, now that I know. (Sure I will!) I love all my providers....and will make an honest effort in the time ahead to go when I need to and take better care of me. Thanks for all the encouragement to do so,
Marilyn, that is great news! The paying attention and eating accordingly has paid off well in your spot. You inspire me!0 -
Marilyn, so happy that your new diet efforts and paying wonderful dividends! Praise the Lord that that appendix was healed - God is merciful and so very good! I have a genetic form of high cholesterol so diet and exercise haven't worked for me. But a nutritionist, when I first learned I had it, suggested taking Red Yeast Rice (another pill) which is a natural statin. Also CoQ10 as well which helps to strengthen the heart. Not sure if they are things you can take, but maybe your doctor will be okay with you having a natural statin (doesn't cause strong side-effects in the liver) rather than the man-made one. I've been off and on the man-made/natural statins, and so far the man-made ones are the only thing that lowers my cholesterol, just because it's genetic and not natural means.
Yay for you, Bren! So happy you went and they are up-to-date on you! I would have said Bo-champ! The doctor I saw for my last pneumonia was Dr Hueker - H (long U)-ker. It took me a time or two of hearing it before I figured out what the nurse was saying! LOL! Haven't heard back from her on the CT scan they wanted to do in three months. That would be this coming month! I was able to find two codes on my bone density scan, and neither one had to do with my bones - I have a deviation in my septum (I've known that for years) and I'm in a normal menopausal state (hmmm, know that one too!). Now, tell me about my bones. The only thing I learned from my last one was that I had osteopenia which was the first step in bone degeneration, and it was normal for my age. Sigh, gotta wait until I hear from the NP, hopefully next week.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day with the Church family yesterday. A very good service and meal afterwards and fellowship throughout. I was there about 6 hours before my back needed me to go home
but Wade was able to stay for awhile longer. It was such a good time. And we even got to enjoy a young man (I've known him since he was a baby) who hasn't been able to be with us here but his folks are part of our Church so he stopped by yesterday. What a blessing to see him again.
Have a great weekend. I'll probably be back on tomorrow! Love y'all.

Kim, That's exactly how I've been saying it these five years or so! LOL.. I really like him. I'll be seeing another NP in March. She's the one that responds to most of my messages on the portal. The two days out, hiking about had my body really beat up so I rested a lot on Thursday and yesterday.
I'd be the same! Let's talk Bones! LOL...
That sounds great! The meeting and meal with the Church family! I have lovely memories of such things....as well as my holidays with my Mama....Glad you all got to see the young man and do some catch up. 6 hours was a good time indeed!
I had already had my stove top stuffing so my dinner on Thursday was a a ham and cheese sandwich and a big sweet tater, done in the air fryer. It was so good. I got 4 more sweet potatoes to play with. I use the no calorie Truvia brown sugar on them.
I got my vase and my exerciser thing yesterday. I dragged the box inside but haven't opened them yet. Will do that today....and cut down more boxes for the trash. I still have the two in there from the vacuum last week. I am hoping I like using the exerciser and that it helps me.
I'm up at 1 AM but feeling better, and being quiet like, I don't disturb "neybobs"...as our recent notice calls them....it was a notice on noise ordinance and while I know I'm not noisy unless I am vacuuming, my upstairs one with their all night radio must surely disturb their surrounding 3! If I...with my hearing issues , am so disturbed..it must be rather loud! This is my second night of some relief from it and I am SO thankful!
Prayers and love for all our Ladies...may you be blessed, strengthened, healed and comforted as we knock on December's door. Love you!
Here's my new toy...I hope to use it 5 days a week...will see how it plays out. My goal is to improve stability, strength and normal function.

I thought this was lovely!

Love that! and so true! I often think of the Lord as my strong tower, a place where I can go and hide and be safe.
Feeling sleepy - ugh! Hope y'all have a blessed day. Love you0 -
He's my hiding place for sure...my safe and secure place.
Hooya! I got my bike machine thing set up and used it for the first time tonight...the preprogrammed stint goes for 30 minutes, automatically increases/decreases/reverses and I love it. I only went for 20 minutes on my initial use. I got the electric one as I know me and in my own power, I'd be way less likely to use it and get real benefits.
I got a letter from my son. I had asked for quarterly reports from him but understand when he's depressed, he's less likely to write. He let me know that the Access thing is still functional, tho it took 4 tries to get it set up to make a deposit. I sent him some money once I got in/on etc. and saved the spot to favorites so I don't have to hunt it down again.
I'm ready to go to bed...will read awhile, as is my habit. I've not dropped my Kindle now in about 3 weeks, since I got the night stand set up.
Hope you all rest well and wake up energized and strengthened in the new day. Love and prayers....

How wonderful that you are able to help out your son. I hope that he is getting the discipleship that he needs! Does he have a Bible that he can study regularly? It's so important to stay in the Word daily. Praying for him.
My poor nightstand is crammed with stuff. I have a stack of Kindles on there, my headphones, my stylus, my hand braces, my box of Kleenex, my body wipes, and probably a bunch of little junk! LOL! I'm disappointed in my ear phones. I wear it at the top of my ear, but lately it has been running down really quickly, then it keeps giving me the low battery alarm when it's in it's charger. The other night it wouldn't shut up so I shoved it in the drawer! I hope I can figure out what is going on. It's nice not to have something stuck in my ear.
Here's my first lighthouse picture. Be blessed, focus on Jesus, I love you!

I love that picture!
Yes! As I've told him, more than once, it's God's provision that allows me to help him. I went ahead and ordered one of the hearing aids like I got and love and right now it's on sale for $4.99....Wow....so I ordered eye glasses and 2 new books as well. I do like Amazon! I pray they let him have the hearing aid and glasses as he really needs both and his hearing issues (like mine) keep him from doing classes and the workshops he wants as he can't hear....I pray for God's favor as he has been trying to get help for a year now.
Hey, that's why I got a new nightstand with drawers...tho the only thing in the drawer at the moment is my box of Kleenex, back scratcher and a snack bag of candy slices for a low sugar episode. Which is coming on at the moment...I checked and it's 87 so I'm OK until I can get dinner in a few minutes.
The things I normally had in the drawer of my old one is in the closet, in a tub and I will transfer some of it when I get a round to it...

Cute! Wow, what a great price too!
Here is a link to a free book every day. For some reason today isn't on there, but the first one has the fourth, tomorrow on it. I don't know if you have Book Funnel, but some are through that. You can also look for it on Amazon and see if they are doing it there for free: [url=" https://subscribepage.com/2024-12-days-of-christmas"] https://subscribepage.com/2024-12-days-of-christmas[/url]
I also have a link for a daily free clean fantasy book if you would like that one as well.
Doing alright here, just chilly. I'm glad I'm chilly only and am handling the cold better!
Always remember, God is good always!0 -
I got an error message...Landing page not found. I don't read the fantasy ones but thanks anyway! The past two months I've been reading shipping type series of 4-6 books each, set back in the 17-1800's, naval type. I'm on book 4 of my third series.
I snagged 3 books by Sara Paretsky. It's been many years since I read any and still have 3-4 hardbacks I got at Goodwill I think. I remember well, the treks to the Library long ago and hobbling home with 7-8 books at a time. The memory makes me love my Kindle even more!
I was down most of yesterday due to a restless night...and didn't get anything done until afternoon...I have the same things on my list to do...for weeks still. Like sorting my cabinets, disposing of way outdated canned goods, checking my spices etc. I end up buying something then finding it in my spice rack after....and having two I'm not using. I'm feeling better this morning so hope to get more out of me. I'll have some coffee....and plan my day.
Be blessed today! Love and prayers for us all....and thank you so much for prayers for my son!

All that stuff can wait, just make sure you are recovered before you try!
I just forwarded my e-mail to you for the 12 days of Christmas giveaway. These are suspense/romance novels. Sorry the link above didn't work - wasn't sure it would but thought I'd give it a try!
Very cold in my office this morning so am going to warm up with some turkey soup. Love you0 -
Thank you for the "reassurance"....on the chores that can take a back seat for the moment. Rest feels good and I am so glad I can get it as needed....and recovery is much needed as well.
Thanks for the e-mail and link, I got today's! I saved it to favorites so I can go back for more.
It's a lovely, sunny day here tho mornings have been chilly to the point I needed heat on 3 days in the past week. Ooooh...turkey soup sounds so good! I would so enjoy some sippy soup. Perhaps soon....In the meantime, I still have some cans of Progresso I can use.0 -
Thought of you, Kim...when I saw this on my FB feed....

Wow, now that is an awesome setting. I don't think Wade would let me do that. He got me one string of purple lights that don't even go all the way around a doorway. We didn't use them this year - but, he did get some outside lights that are teal! That's another favorite color. I have a water bottle that is purple and teal! Oh wow, just noticed my sweatshirt today is dark purple! Thank you for that!
I've kept my two e-mails, the suspense and the fantasy freebies in my e-mail, otherwise I would forget to look them up! I ran into several more freebies as well. Luanna Ehrlich has a bunch of suspense books and she has a set of three "Ben in..." books for $.99 - but I already have most of her books and I have those three already! I really enjoy her series, they have characters who are Christians in them and they live to be who God wants them to be.
We are having a lovely day here today. Chilly, but warmer than it has been. I got to sit on the back porch and watch the chickens until we kept getting breezes blow through and brrr - time to go in!
I'm so glad you are resting! Have a great day at your place. I'm praying for all my ladies and miss you when you aren't able to be here! Hugs!0 -
LOL...that might be a bit off putting to a guy's sensitivities. Too much purple. Oh, I love teal too! I have on a teal tank with my shorts today.
I got my vase in, so have my flowers on the table...my kitty cat burner covers down....and that's my decorating done. Kitty cat: Junior is coming around and I sure wish I could feed him. He and Sister were at my door yesterday. He was alone this morning.
With my memory glitches, I saved mine as "Free Book"....LOL...I got yesterday's as well so am on a roll. Thanks again! Ben in? Like Where's Waldo?
I am SO disappointed in my Kindle Sara Paretsky books! The first three are merely excerpts and I paid for them, thinking it was the full book! Ack....oh well....it's not my first waste of money.
Brrr....it's 33 out there this morning. I got more trash to the car but not to the dumpster yet. About 7:30, I'll do that. I am so thankful for great heating and AC here. I thank God often for the comforts of my home and the blessings that fill it.
I have a lady coming at 8 to pick up the convection oven I'm giving her for her friend whose stove went out and she has 4 kids. It was a gift from my brother maybe 14 years ago...only used about 4 times, as it's just too big for my teeny kitchen. My very small toaster oven is perfect. I know he would be glad to see it go to someone in such need. It's been in my walk in closet all this time so is dusty. I have the memories of him and his joy at gifting it to me...and one to my Mom as well, which he got back when she passed.
I am slowly doing collections again for passing down. I had got 3 new tubs from Target...went to put the lid on one yesterday and they picked the wrong lids! They are no longer in stock, a one day delivery thing, the picker just grabbed the wrong size tops....so I will toss them and fill the tubs for give away since I can't stack them in my closet. I wanted them too...as they are red and green....oh well. Another example of uhm....wasted money.

Oops....I put a pot of pinto beans on, scooped my seasoning in....then checked the best by date....January 2018. I added another spoonful just in case and tossed the rest. I hope they will be fine. My desire to cook doesn't strike often.0

We did that today with some vinegar, it went out last year, but we used it anyway - I don't think vinegar goes bad, I just think it gets a little fermenty! It was for some hot dog chili that Wade was making. Here's the link to the "Ben in..." books - three for $.99. Ben in Love, Ben in Charge, and Ben in Trouble. https://amazon.com/Ben-Mitchell-Titus-Thrillers-Books-ebook/dp/B0C44NWZJF
I don't know if you've used links on here or not, but they are going to tell you that you are leaving this site, click that button and it will take you to the link site, then when you leave the link site it will bring you right back here. I've read the first one of these three, but not the others. I've read a number of the other books though. She's very good.
I'm taking it easy today, my back, hip, leg and hands are just hurting today. We have a bit arctic front coming in and I think that's what's bothering my arthritis. I did take one Tramadol, but that's really a waste since one just doesn't do much at all. Tylenol doesn't touch the pain either.
Not much else going on with me. Going to play some games on my Kindle and listen to Christmas music on YouTube, unless I can find something worth watching! I'll look for my people in Namibia, Africa who rescue seals, I always enjoy watching that. They catch the seal in a net and then remove whatever garbage it has around it's body somewhere. Sometimes they've had it on them for so long the skin has grown over it and they have to do "surgery" to get it removed (which is pretty much just gently digging it out! The seals are often pretty hilarious or really cute!
Well, you have a beautiful rest of your day. Be gentle with yourself (hmm, I think I've heard that before!).
Love you ladies.0 -
I just found out that sweet Barbi passed away. This makes my heart so sad. I will miss her!
I was shocked to hear this! Do ya'll know what happened?
I will miss her sweet Christmas Card this year. She sent me one every year! I will miss our chats on FB. She was always so kind to me.
Praying for ya'll
hugs and much love0 -
Oh, Missy! That breaks my heart! Our Barbi! I had no idea....I too, would get Christmas and Birthday cards from her and her birthday is 10 days after mine. Thanks for letting us know.
She sent me a retirement gift and on opening the packages...I thought it was someone else's as I hadn't checked the address....and said Oops....I didn't order this! it was an Amaryllis! The other was an awesome fruit basket. My heart hurts for her family....but we know she's home.
Kim....that rings a bell with me, too. LOL....I woke up from a dream of considering medical marijuana for my pain and I hear you on the 1 Tramadol. Tylenol doesn't scare my pain off either. So sorry you had so many sources of pain in one day.
Oh...hot dog chili! Sounds so good. I have 2 containers of chili left in my freezer. I have a new pack of ground pork and haven't decided what to do with it yet. More chili, pasta sauce, taco filling?
My beans were fine....and I am glad. I have 4 containers in the freezer, have 2 in the fridge and had some for dinner. I wanted cornbread but didn't make it so will do that today....I'll do up a box of Jiffy as Mexican cornbread with jalapenos and cheese.
I have used links before but didn't find my way back here? LOL...If I did, I don't remember!
I found this tree, to laminate and put on my storm door for decoration....

That picture is you!
What a shock. Barbi and I had been keeping in touch. She called me after she had gone on her cruise with Dave, but that was the last I'd heard from her. I've continued to keep her in my prayers, but my hope is she stayed true to Christ and she is safe at home with Jesus now! Man, that just breaks my heart! I look at her name and I just cry! I will miss her!
I did do a weigh in today - 236.8, so staying basically the same, a few ounces up or down. Monday I will hit it hard. Tomorrow is our monthly birthday meal together. We celebrate all the birthdays in that month together with a meal. We had to wait until September to do the August birthdays because several of us August folks were sick when the birthday meal came around! LOL! I need to get up with my NP and find out if I am going to do the three month CT scan on my lungs. I still have trouble catching my breath when I am lying down, but otherwise it's been fine! Each time I had trouble I ended up having pneumonia, which makes me wonder about the times that I struggled with it and we did asthma tests, and it was really pneumonia! Hmmm???
Here's my picture, I've been forgetting about it by the end of my posts, so I'm going to put it in while I'm thinking about it!

I found Barbi's Obituary, here's the link. It doesn't say how she passed though, but it's a lovely thought. https://echovita.com/us/obituaries/tn/cookeville/barbara-ann-haggard-189728380

Yes, I watched the video last night. She was so beautiful.
Wow Bren that is wonderful that she got you such sweet gifts.
I know when I had intestinal surgery, I was so nervous! She and her Santa hubby offered to drive down here and help me out! I declined, but I wish I had got to meet her in person.
I was shocked, because she seemed to be traveling a lot with her new hubby and enjoying herself so much. I will miss her
I believe Mike aka Santa passed away December 2, 2018.
I'm just in shock.
I looked at her fb posts and found where she had been put in isolation in the hospital.
I had no idea. I hardly go on fb. I wish I had seen this!
She mentioned that they were checking her for C-Diff.
I got that from being given very high antibiotics. It was horrible!
She said she broke her leg about 7 weeks back too! Oh, how I wished I had seen this!!!
Someone close to her posted on dec 3 how much she loved her, and she will never forget her. Barbi gave it a love emoji.
oh my...my heart breaks!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's beautiful, Kim. I love snow...and snowy pics, but am so glad I don't have to drive in such conditions any more!
I got my "tree" on the door along with a Christmas card I got from an ex co-worker. Now someone needs to clean my storm door. LOL...
Hey...I need to "hit it hard" too, I've been messing around for much too long. I need to do my Kitchen Inventory, restore order and do up a simple meal plan.
I agree with you two...about our Barbi. She was precious and we were blessed to have her share a part of our journey with us...and ours with her. I was glad to know she was happy and getting to travel some and enjoy life. My heart and prayers go out to all who knew her and loved her...and were loved by her.
I did see the obituary but where is the video you mentioned, Missy? I didn't see that and would like to. Her memorial service is today. We all have had such shocks as this...and we know God has us in His care and only He knows when our time here is done. My prayers are for healing, strength, provision and most of all, salvation for those who don't know Him yet....we so need Him in our hearts and lives.
I love you ladies....be blessed and find comfort in Christ Jesus, in this new day.

Missy, thank you so much for this information, it explains why she hadn't been in touch with me for quite awhile. I wish I had known, I could have called her (at least someone would have answered her phone!) She was in my prayers as much as y'all have been, she was forever one of my "sparkfriends" and will be sorely missed. I tried to write a message but then I would have had to sign up for the site, so decided against it. I'm using Wade's Facebook to keep up with our Pastor's posts, I put them all in my computer and then on memory sticks for whoever would like them; so I'm not in touch with anyone else on there! Mike died after his lungs filled with fluid. He woke up long enough to tell Barbi he loved her and to share a cry with her, and then he fell asleep and died soon afterwards. They expected him to wake up a vegetable, but he didn't - God worked a beautiful miracle for her.
I've thought about that a lot, Bren, losing people close to us. We lost three matriarchs in the family the year that Mom died, all of them were in their eighties and nineties. Wade lost a couple of cousins and his brother to cancer before that. The older we get, well, so do those who are around us and we see them going home (hopefully) more frequently.
Have a beautiful day today. Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus!
