Let the message of Christ dwell among
you richly as you teach and admonish
one another with all wisdom through
psalms, hymns, and songs from the
Spirit, singing to God with gratitude
in your hearts. And whatever you do,
whether in word or deed, do it all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
to God the Father through him.
Greetings Sweet Friends,
Hope this finds you well and happy!
We are well and had a good day. Talked
with my girl for awhile, went to get my
eyes tested and picked out new glasses
and then did a lil window shopping,
and went to dinner at our friends house,
and what a great dinner it was.....
so delicious. So been a long but good
day. Gonna watch an episode of Doc
and then turn in, just thought I would
get this posted first, since it was ready
other than this opening paragraph.
Pictures today are from our Winter
Look Living room, I went with green
and white in here as you will see.
Now the whole house looks the same
since I took out all the red this week.
So on with my Thankfuls......

Thankful that one of our dear friends
that we were suppose to be getting
together with today (Tuesday) has
such a great attitude and is thankfully,
having very minimal pain. She called
on Sunday and she was exercising and
using one of the rubber resistance bands
that exercise guru's tell you to use for
strength training and it broke, and sent
her flying like a projectile into the
that exercise guru's tell you to use for
strength training and it broke, and sent
her flying like a projectile into the
door where she hit her head and then
fell and hurt her knee, and was having
bad pain and after having to go to the
ER and have xrays, she has a hairline
fracture and they had to put her in a
full leg brace and she is not suppose to
put any weight on that leg. So this is
quite a challenge for both of them, as
her hubby has been having some
problems too....but she has the most
amazing attitude and is doing her
best to look for the blessings in
all of this.
Note: This is the 2nd time we have
heard of someone getting hurt with
those things. My son-in-loves co-
worker was using it and it snapped
and hit him in the eye, and they were
afraid he had a detached retina, but
praise the Lord it turned out okay
but if you use one be very careful
or maybe find another way to do
your exercise.

Thankful for the ways that God directs
each of us and uses each other to bless
the lives of others.
A neat example this week was my hubby
was headed off to talk with another man
at church on Sunday but had the thought
to go talk with a dear lady who lost her
husband last year, she told him to please
pray for her as this was gonna be a tough
week for her as their 50th anniversary
was this coming Friday. So he prayed
with her that day and the next day we
were watching that program I have
told you we love on TBN called
"Better Together" and they were talk-
ing about grief and this one young
lady who had lost her husband to
suicide (and it had been about a year)
was talking about how things like
birthdays and anniversaries and
special holidays were so hard but she
made the decision to embrace them
and celebrate them instead of dread-
ing them. So my hubby felt led to
call her son and tell him about his
talk with her and what this young
lady said, and the son and his wife
were very grateful he called and
said they had never even thought
of that and that they were celebrat-
ing on of their childrens birthdays
this week, so think they are gonna
do something for her as well, and

we made a card and sent it to her
as well. Hope she is so pleasantly
surprised that it will take some of

prived for awhile.

Thankful for the Peace that only
God can give us, in this crazy
crazy world we are living in.

Thankful for a neat idea that we
heard about on "Better Together"
today, and if you don't watch it
you really should try it.....we
have really been blessed by this
show.
Anyway, the story was Lisa Harper
and a friend were traveling together
for a speaking engagement and
nothing was going right, their flt.
was cancelled or late, they didn't
have their rental car ready when
they arrived at the airport, and
other annoyances of just a bad
travel day, and Lisa was starting
to get frustrated and made some
sort of negative comment to her
friend, and her friend said
"Stop and give me 10" and she
knew what that meant...It meant
stop and give me 10 things you
are thankful for right now.
Boy, wouldn't that change our
outlook in a hurry if we prac-
ticed that everytime we started
to go south............just some
food for thought!
Hubby and I tried it out after the
show just to see how it would
work, he did 5 and I did 5......
we weren't really going south
today, but we do have those
days sometimes......and think
this could be a great tool to
change our thinking and a very
good habit to make.
