WAITING

I had to wait a long time for a scheduled biopsy. The waiting gave me time to become nervous.

I listened to praise and worship music through my iPod to keep myself calm and focused. After an hour alone in the little surgical room I began to wonder if everyone had gone home. It was nearing 6 o'clock and my appointment had been for 4:30.

I clicked the iPod off to listen for activity in the building. What I heard was the Doctor saying "I'm sorry..." I couldn't hear the rest.

Then the Doctor came in and told me the results of blood work (almost all good news)

The biopsy was, despite the stinging anesthetic, nearly painless (why are we surprised when God answers our prayers?). I was leaving when I saw a woman crying in the hallway and I knew that on this day I was the fortunate one.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

James 1:17

IT DOES A BODY GOOD!

I love my daughter's blog on bad manners reverence in church! read it here

It does a mother's heart good to see results of her investment of time and training.

On Mother's Day when we were driving to our Island destination, I was back seat (actually front passenger) driving. I hate bridges and spoke harshly regarding her driving style while crossing the bridges to the Island. There is no driving style on a bridge that will completely satisfy me, but keeping to the inner lanes does lesson my angst. Anyway, she didn't even act offended. Wow! She may have been offended, but she didn't act offended. She let it go. A very adult attitude.

And today she expects those who are worshiping her Lord to act worshipful! Just like she was taught! I love it!

" Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;

worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness."

Psalm 29:2

Bibles in School Upsets Parents

I don't understand this response!

If the Bible is just a book,

and you do not believe the Bible to be true,

then why would you mind students having a copy?

Schools are full of books. Why are you afraid of the Bible?

Do you think there is something extraordinary

about this particular book?

Of course you do!

Uninvited Guest

This little fellow dropped by for a visit while we were in Hilton Head this weekend.And strangely enough, I didn't freak!

I snapped photos while my husband

Knight in shining armor

attempted to escort him her it outside.

This may seem rather trivial to you.

However, lizards, geckos, etc. are not often seen

around our home.

And, being a control freak I cannot tolerate

any living creature that will not follow directions.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY #38

NOW

THEN

"Two are better than one,
because they have a good return
for their work:
if one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!"
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
