Sunday Smiles

Gratitude is that even though there is always something it is the nature of the beast. It is the battle of breath that we live in. I am thankful that my Husband and I know this. That I am never rejected by him. He even sang a line of an Irish song to me it made me smile. They are all so loving.

It makes me smile that last night in the ER that I had the privilege of stepping outside of my own battle and journey. The way I was made able to come back into prayer for the staff and those around me how it kept me pulled up and out of self pity and well just being too full of my own self. My mind went to "why an I here on a higher level." So grateful to receive good, kind help. I smile at the power of words spoken in kindness and the healing force that those medical employees encountered in them . It makes me smile cause the discomfort so temporal, gave an opportunity to give them such a needed lift. Even with "puff face" I sorta felt beautiful because, well I like me. It was fun in the midst of the battle to be kind. It made others feel better.

Over coming the fight/flight of wanting to just "go away" assuming that my you reader out there would just get sick of my dribbling during the battles. Pull up stakes and find more uplifting pleasant blogs to edify your hearts. I smiled when I saw the numbers of all of you. Who cared about me today and touched base . Thank you for the smiles. My own smile more natural looking now that I am not adorned with such a puff face :)

Knowing the love of my Father, brings me a smile and just no realizing that this is not thankful Thursday humors me cause I am sorta out of it with drugs. Oh well.

Hubby's Mother (MILove) took over Sweet Beauty's Dorthy Dress I needed to make, and I rested while the children went to the Grandparents with The Daddy Man for the evening.

SO very glad your doing better... and what a wonderful blessing by the Holy Spirit for you to be able to pray for others when you felt so very badly!

Oh no dear, there is no way I'm pulling up stakes!! Just wish I had gotten here sooner to wish you the best with your face.

Hope you are feeling better today and knowing God is caring for you.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
