Ahhhh, just what the doctor ordered. We can sit outside at Amy's Cafe now that the sun's gone down and the mosquitos are out at Kitty's. :)

Lol, Billie! : ) The Mosquitoes are Huge Here, that's for Sure; we can All Use my Insect Repellent. : ) The Chiggers are Worse; the Insect Repellent and I are Friends from Way Back, Lol!

Polly, after you Mentioned that you couldn't See the Boxcar, I Realized that the Carport has it Hidden, so I Looked through my Pics and Found One of the Boxcar from the Back:


Here is another Pic of it from the Front:

Jaycee, I'm So Thankful the Doctors didn't Find Anything Bad on the MRI, and will be Praying that the Cortisone Shot will Help the Pain to be Healed. (((((((Many Prayers)))))

Hi Jaycee
It must be a relief to have the MRI over with. I hope the shots are the answer you have been looking for. I know it's been difficult at best for you and you must be so frustrated being in pain. My prayers for you.

HUGS back to You My Friend!

Thanks, Meg, I appreciate you. Hate to hear of the bad headache and upset stomach. It makes you feel so bad I know. I sure hope there will be great improvement today but always take it easy when you don’t feel good.

You and me and our birdseed. I got two kinds at Lowe’s the other morning and a baffle for my shepherd’s hook and don’t know how to put it on. Both sons are going away for the weekend (in different directions...LOL) so if I can’t figure it out, I will have to wait.

Take care today. ((Hugs))

“Cast Down” Sheep
He restores my soul. —Psalm 23:3

In his classic book A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, W. Phillip Keller gives a striking picture of the care and gentleness of a shepherd. In verse 3 when David says, “He restores my soul,” he uses language every shepherd would understand.

Sheep are built in such a way that if they fall over on their side and then onto their back, it is very difficult for them to get up again. They flail their legs in the air, bleat, and cry. After a few hours on their backs, gas begins to collect in their stomachs, the stomach hardens, the air passage is cut off, and the sheep will eventually suffocate. This is referred to as a “cast down” position.

When a shepherd restores a cast down sheep, he reassures it, massages its legs to restore circulation, gently turns the sheep over, lifts it up, and holds it so it can regain its equilibrium.

What a picture of what God wants to do for us! When we are on our backs, flailing because of guilt, grief, or grudges, our loving Shepherd reassures us with His grace, lifts us up, and holds us until we’ve gained our spiritual equilibrium.

If you’ve been cast down for any reason, God is the only one who can help you get on your feet again. He will restore your confidence, joy, and strength.

This Shepherd of mine knows each trial, each snare,
And at just the right moment my Lord will be there,
On His shoulders to carry each burden for me—
Yes, the Lord is my Shepherd, and always shall be. —Henry

The weak and the helpless are in the Good Shepherd’s special care.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 123-125; 1 Corinthians 10:1-18

Beautiful geraniums....mine were (almost) that pretty and are still looking fairly well. When I watered last night, I noticed a lot of new buds coming out and I just trim off the dead blooms. They are so hardy I think they would grow almost anywhere (except if you have critters eating them) that would make one mad...LOL!

It is pouring rain and I didn’t get the trash rolled down last night so I’m gonna pass this week. The container has lots of room! (Freepmail)
