Thankful Thrusday *life*

join us at Grace Alone

This is the day that the Lord has made.

I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Perseverance...

it brings hope.

When hope is deferred the heart can become sick.

This day I walked and moped floors

I helped another mother who loves God.

Her son threatened my son with a shot gun and said he would blow out his brains.

I got the call form a dear friend whose son overheard the report and called me.

Dash had chosen a higher road.

Trying to avoid any further strife.

Trying to also understand I think a different way to keep himself safe.

When his teacher asked of it she began..."I know your mother has raised you to speak truth...give me a yes or no answer if this...happened"...in regards to the confirmed statement Dash said.

"I can't remember"

He did remember.

I lashed out at the principle that I did not hear this from him.

I later apologized and owned that momma bear reaction.

Tonight Dash had his play.

I saw both children s mothers.

There was no strife.

That boys mom came to me to apologize, and to my friend.

Explaining her sons poor behavior and lack of skill at dealing with his frustrations that lead to such drastic words.

There was peace.

With His teacher there is peace and a better understanding of things.

With the principle there is peace.

With my friend I trust there is peace.

On another note.

We got a citation in the mail from the city.

We have to remove our trailer from our driveway for it is a city code violation

We were not aware of the violation and the letter dated 11-10 was giving us until the 11-17 date to comply.

Note this is over due 

I just opened the letter today.

Today

the first day I could walk and work and tend to the tasks.

The driveway swept clear the garage cleared and Steve came home early to back it in.

He has lost the shop we were setting up for him in large part.

There is peace.

It was troubling him to see it in the drive and even though it caused a loss of work time and a possible fine to come...there is peace.

The front is so pretty all swept.

The trailer is in the garage within inches of fit for the tools have been moved.

My son was in his play.

The kitchen is mopped

Dishes caught up with an empty dishwasher

The paper work is in better stead with a 8 inch stack to be filed of work accomplished.

Chickens watered.

I am back.

Speaking of back it really hurts but the joy of all of the peace and accomplishment is a prize worth the cost.

My daughter is at peace asleep

My husband at peace.

Saddened by the layoffs of 4 men this week in his department alone.

Yet

there is peace.

I have a wonderful Thanksgiving at his folks...the stress of the day is gone and there is peace.

It has become doable.

Then a call came in from a niece my brother's child

We have a second Thanksgiving we have been welcomed into.

There is peace.

Thanksgiving was this year a real challenge to wrap my brain around knowing physically I would be really pushing it.

The trial that I was to testify in was postponed until 12-17

I was able to take care of our home and the trailer, garage, meal, play, mop and do a lot of paperwork.

My son will no longer have over his head that he could have Ushers Syndrome.

I now longer have to fear that he may go deaf or blind.

I have carried this for 8 years.

there is peace, shock a bit yet it is still sinking in.

my son will not go deaf or blind with ushers

God has actually done the impossible in mans eyes.

His hearing has all but been restored.

Without the finacial coverage I was stressed for his medical care.

There is now peace.

There is peace.

All those threats that come upon us are set to rob that peace.

a thousand may fall at my right hand and ten thousand at my right hand

and it shall not come nigh

for I have made my God even the most high my dwelling place

He has covered me with His wing

He has set His angles charge over me

Over mine

I have set my ove upon him and I am so amazed at how very much He enjoys my love.

He enjoys me

loving Him.

my daughter is sleeping

my husband has peace

my son does not have to ware hearing aides unless he wants to

my chickens give 3 eggs a day (Dash eats 3 eggs a day)

The garden is thriving

My children are thriving.

 I can walk again and continue to improve in that ability.

My dentist deferred payment until 1-5-10

The dogs are peaceful and happy

The front door is secure

We have all our needs met.

no illness under my roof

NO I WILL NOT KNOCK ON WOOD

I will declare with praise what GOD HAS DONE

No weapon formed against me.

I have endured for the night

now it is morning

morning joy has come to me wrapped in her garment of peace
