The Day After

So do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward. You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36

19 degrees out but really feels like 12 and a good 10 inches of snow today. It is very artic like outside. I had a super day yesterday with my grandsons. My son and I took them out to enjoy the snow before he had to take off to work. It was nice because they both are not sick right now. So we had an enjoyable day. We played, ate lunch, Brady 4 years old can write his name, he is full of new tricks he can do and Carter our baby 20 months old is learning to say more words like yes and no, both boys took great naps. We watched it snow all day long! I am feeling those feel good Nana feelings I am tired today but it is so worth it. Praise Him for my precious grandsons.

Thanks be to Him!

SNOW DAY YAY

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

It has snowed a few inches and we are supposed to get more. My grandsons are out of school today so I am going to care for them today. Praise Him I get to see my grandsons! Praise Him for snow! I will remember to take pictures and have pictures of me taken with them so I can share them here.

Something pretty for Spring or is it still winter?



The news yesterday at the doctors is he thinks I have asthma or maybe COPD or both. I have been put on a second inhaler plus a 3 day regimine of prednisone. I go back in the beginning of April for a 2 hour breathing test and then I see the doctor a month after that. Then I will have a sleep study done to see if I have sleep apnea. I am still in shock about this. I have been sick since October last year. Shortness of breath, tightness of chest, coughing, congested, wheezy and tired.

Well Owl Be

So be very careful how you live. Do not live like those who are not wise, but live wisely. Ephesians 5:15

This is sad! Shooting one bird to save another. We have to intervene? Really?

Today I see a pulmonary specialist. I am feeling a bit better each day from since last Friday when I started with the nasty cold yet the same old wheeze remains. So I am up early this morning tying up loose ends to make sure I have all of my mail ready to go out because my friend will take me to run errands after the doctor appointment and we are also going out to breakfast. YAY! I have been stuck at home for days now.

I just read about this find this morning so I thought I would share it with you.

Sin

Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it. Genesis 4:7

Today's bible scripture reminds me that we must confess all of our sins to Him. We are then forgiven by Him. Master it!

I have been ill with a nasty cold which started Friday. Fever was 101.1 sore throat runny nose stuffy nose coughing like crazy blahhhhhhhh!

I don't know what I want to share or talk about today. How about this I will share the links to some recent websites I found to be interesting and maybe you will too. Enjoy!

"Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your
body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work."-- Ralph Marston

Rise Up

Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it. Ezra 10:4

I have a cold now on top of breathing problems oh joy blahhhhhhhh! I am staying in all weekend and until I see my doctor on Wednesday. I had tomatoes with mayo on two plain small toasted bagels for breakfast now I am going to enjoy a cup of tea with honey in it. Kick back and write something for today. Just for today I wish it was Spring and warm out . It is 37 and feels like 27 and the winds are howling through this church where I live. It was so cold over night we had to turn the heat on. It has been off for a few days because it was in the 50's.

I received a triple stalk sedum plant from a friend for my garden. The poor thing was in the cold last night in my mailbox which is in an unheated space here. It is warming up nicely now. I planted it all in one pot and then I will divide it again and transplant those later. I only had one pot to use which is perfect for now. It flowers and is on a woody stock commonly found outdoors. Very easy to grow. There are many varieties of sedum.

Sedum plant arrived 2/24/12 and already potted and in my garden

Windy dark and partly cloudy today

There are some partial blue skies today


Where ever you are I hope you are feeling well and that you have a wonder filled weekend!

Riches and Honor

Riches and honor come from you. You rule everything. You have the power and strength to make anyone great and strong. Now, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:12-13

Praise Him for today! A Friday not just any Friday but this Friday today.

My day is filled with lots of time to pray and Praise Him today. I found a couple of nice materials to make some Spring cards and I am going to layout page two of my grandson's album. I want to get outdoors but today it will only be 39 for a high and early this morning it is 31. No more 50's like the last two days. I hope the flowers weren't tricked.

I just made a cute friendship card this morning

It is hard to read the inside it says "It's great having a good friend to share things with"

Yesterday when I was going through my indoor garden and watering my plants I noticed my basil is blooming. Also the leaves are very strong and fragrant right now. Here are some pictures of my indoor basil plant.

Do you grow any herbs indoors? I would like to grow more but I am getting short on shelf space. I have some sedum coming that will need to be planted and then that will take up all of the cart space.
Happy Gardening!!!!!! Indoors or out where ever you are!

Enjoy this crop circle art!

Just a Pinch of This and That

Respecting the Lord and not being proud will bring you wealth, honor and life.   Proverbs 22:4

In all ways I respect Him shame on me and you if we don't. He has given me life and my sons honor me, some people honor my friendship too and wealth is not always about material things what about a wealth of knowledge. He has created all of us equal yet unique.

These yummy cookies caught my eye this morning. Not that I eat cookies for breakfast well ok I have before. Perhaps I will try them. I would be meeting my goals for 2012 and that is to try a new recipe each month. Anyway you go check them out and then let me know if you bake them. Please send me some! Just in case I don't meet this goal.

Wow it is Thursday, already. this week has gone by quickly. I now have an appointment to see a pulmonary specialist on Feb 29th.  Praise Him for getting me there soon. And this too shall pass!

When I was younger my family Mother and my two sisters and my one brother and I but not my Father faithfully practiced the Catholic religion http://www.yenra.com/catholic/passages/lent/rules.html I practice a Christian faith of God. Anyway in the Catholic religion this time of the year is Lent begins with Ash Wednesday which was yesterday and there is Good Friday which is April 6 we give up eating meat during this time period. I instead have vowed to eat as little as possible meat and step up my walking regimine as weather allows it. Lent ends on Easter Sunday is April 8. I usually don't get to see my grandsons for Easter. They have great grandparents to see that day. I am completely understanding about that. They don't get to see their great grandsons very often. We did see them for the recent birthday party for Brady. They are elderly but still getting around. Such a sweet church going couple. My grandsons are blessed with great grandparents. My Father too but he lives in CA.

Very pretty flower arrangement I can hardly wait to see those purple flowers around here soon. They come out in early Spring and are called Grape Hyacinths.
