Still in the velcro boot!

Wish you could see me getting into this VELCRO boot each a.m.

Someone sent me this old phrase, updated a bit:

VENI, VEDI, VELCRO = I came, I saw, I STUCK WITH IT!

That's what I am working on.....

THOU SHALT NOT WHINE

John 1:16
From the fullness of His grace, we have all received one blessing after another….

We have a wooden sign above our kitchen windows THOU SHALT NOT WHINE. How I need the reminder – the most effective antidote to whining is THANKSGIVING….listing blessing after blessing.
For instance, I broke my foot last week – the Doctor wisely reminded me that the greatest blessing of the break, is that I had not fallen and broken a hip. Hurray!

I have prayed over and over, for special grace to conquer complaining.
Just yesterday I learned of a pastor in Kansas City who gave his congregation purple flexible wristbands. They are to wear them on the right wrist – moving the bracelet to the left hand every time they complain, or are negative. He has distributed over a million to churches and individuals who have heard of the plan and want to join.
The goal is to go 21 days without complaining or WHINING. After several weeks trying, the pastor made it!

I am buying a bag of bracelets for us here at Boulder Ridge at our Spice of Life….Try it!

Family Photos

Our daughter Lois and husband Bryan and kids came to visit just before Easter. So with David and Carol and DJ,

we took the opportunity to have a family photo taken....here we are with the four grandkids, and then all of us together....enjoy!

WHATEVER!

WHATEVER YOU WANT, LORD….

W - Whoever You put in, or take out of my life…

H - However You want things to end up…only you see
the big picture.
A - As much as I can take, Lord…You know me best

T - Time is nothing to You…help me to be patient.

E - Everything is in Your hands…Help me to let go.

V - Victory comes with You as my guide.

E - Eternity with You will be worth it all!

R - Restoration is mine through You.

Just a note....

I have not posted any items in this BLOG for a few months. Please excuse....I do want to keep in touch and this seems at lest one way to do it. Phone calls or coffee klatches are better...

Just a note from us….
Mama used to address the family letters: Dear All, That sounds good to me because we would love to visit with you all – one by one – but hopefully this will keep us in touch. We appreciate so much the notes and emails…

April is the most beautiful month in Arizona…
It is also the month of David’s two cataract surgeries – he now wears only reading glasses. A week ago Sunday evening I was getting ready for a Monday morning trip to Tucson for some more LIFT (Leaders In Fellowship Together) classes, when I tripped in our kitchen, turned my foot HARD, and yelled. I won’t give you all the details – but my foot is broken and in a BOOT. Our prayer is that it will heal well so that I will not have to go to a plaster cast in another week.

We have a new family photo, which I will have Carol help me put on my BLOG.

Blessings on you – ALL, Daisy and David

Count Your Blessings....
