Awww, its so nice to wake up to such a sweet greeting. I felt the angel dust as I slept really good. Hate to report how cold it is here. I hope it warms up soon. This only proves “I should live in Florida”, even though they are experiencing some REALLY COLD WEATHER!!

Thank you, yorkie!

Little Things
December 7, 2010

A medical school program in New York gives students who are training for geriatric medicine a unique opportunity. They experience life as nursing home residents for 10 days. They learn some of the struggles of maneuvering a wheelchair and being raised out of bed with a lift, as well as reaching the shower bar from a seated position. One student learned how little things counted for a lot—like lowering nameplates on doors so that patients can find their rooms more easily, or putting the TV remote in a reachable location.

Although the students still can’t fully relate, they will be better able to serve the elderly in their future work.

Sometimes God gives us the opportunity to use the lessons we’ve learned and the comfort He’s given us during difficult times to help others in special ways. Paul indicated this when he wrote: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble” (2 Cor. 1:3-4).

Are you using the lessons you’ve learned in your trials to touch the lives of others? Remember—even little things can mean a lot.

The comfort God has given us
He wants us now to share
With others who are suffering
So they will sense His care. —Sper

God doesn’t comfort us to make us comfortable;
He comforts us to make us comforters.

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

The Father of mercies and God of all comfort . . . comforts us in all our tribulation. —2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Bible in a year:
Daniel 5-7; 2 John

[MEG33]

The magic you did with this graphic is just wonderful, Billie..so beautiful..and of course I love the music. Thank you!

[Mama_Bear]

She asked if it would be “Marissa’s Place” after I retire. LOL

That sounds good! It has a ring to it. :-)

Hey, did I miss where you posted about Mr.Just having surgery today??? It maybe a simple surgery but I will still pray that it all goes textbook perfect and he will be back on his feet in no time. I hope he will feel well enough to join us for our Christmas dinner.

Give the birthday girl a hug for us! So, how old is she NOW? I can't keep up with these birthdays. She certainly has a bright and sparkly day to celebrate her special day. It's gorgeous outside, isn't it? Could be warmer though. LOL
