A Life Uncommon

What a day!

Dove went to school with Dash on the bus this morning. She had her poetry recital, she did well....However....I had to take her home ill before noon.
Then around 2 p.m. the school nurse called...Dash had breathing problems. She gives him a breathing treatment as I go to get him. He is seen at the urgent care moments later to fine the x-ray revels pneumonia!
I got them both on 4 rx each ($$$), Becca has bronchitis too. Wow!
They are home now all the Rx's filled...
God is good!
Beloved and I had a major hardship of discouragement last night but better today. These difficulties are stabbing him in his heart. He feels responsible. The house sale is slow and tedious. I have failed at times at keeping clear of complaints. This is hard stuff!
I look so forward to the gain of all of this. The other side...meanwhile I trust. I pray, I parent and nurse the young ones.
I do so need your prayers.
Thank you for them it is a priceless treasure.

'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"
