I haven’t been able to clean the kitchen today..It always waits..I have made a mess while cleaning elsewhere.
I can walk in my walk in closet without tripping now. That’s the best I could do there.
I don’t have anyone but me and kitties to take care of.. no greenhouse, no business, no yard work(HOA does the mowing). You do..I have someone come in and vacuum and mop..No real cleaning done elswhere.
I have learned not to fret about the house..and it showed..LOL..I have no idea why I could accomplish so much..Of course I am hurting..but I can rest and start again if and when I am able.

Immeasurably More
October 4, 2013
Its not going to happen, Aunt Julie. You might as well erase that thought from your mind.
I know its unlikely, I said. But its not impossible.
For several years, my niece and I have had variations of that conversation regarding a situation in our family. The rest of the sentence, which I said only occasionally, was this: I know it can happen because I hear stories all the time about how God makes impossible things happen. The part of the sentence I said only to myself was this: But they happen only in other peoples families.
Recently my pastor has been preaching from the book of Ephesians. At the end of every service we say this benediction: Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen (Eph. 3:20-21 niv).
This was the year God chose to do immeasurably more in my family. He replaced indifference with love. How did He do it? Beats me. But I saw it happen. And why should I be surprised? If Satan can turn love into indifference, certainly God can change indifference back into love.
Lord, thank You for doing immeasurably more in
our lives than we could ever imagine.
I am so thankful that You are able and often
do make impossible situations possible.
Gods power to restore is stronger than Satans power to destroy.
Read: Ephesians 3:14-21

I am OK have a bit of a cold at present but am feeling a bit better. Dad health is very precarious thought he might be going back into hospital. He had a sort of choking episode which with a peg feed is not good. Ambulance crew then a paramedic came out his observations were OK and the episode had died down so decided at present to keep him at home. They have arranged for a community matron to check on him later.

The Value Of One
October 5, 2013
Only hours before Kim Haskins high school graduation, an auto accident took the life of her father and left Kim and her mother hospitalized. The next day, Joe Garrett, Kims high school principal, visited her at the hospital and said they wanted to do something special for her at the school. The Gazette (Colorado Springs) article by James Drew described the outpouring of love and support as the teachers, administrators, and classmatesdeeply touched by Kims lossfilled the high school auditorium a few days later at a graduation ceremony just for her.
Principal Garrett said, We talk a lot in education about no child left behind. In the military, they talk about no soldier left behind. Today, this is about no graduate left behind.
Jesus underscored the importance of every person to God with three stories about something losta sheep, a coin, and a son (Luke 15). In each story, a person has lost something of great value. When it is found, friends and neighbors are called to celebrate and rejoice together.
The point is clear: We are all of great value to God, who offers us forgiveness and new life through Christ. And He faithfully pursues us with His love and grace. There is great joy in heaven over one sinner who repents (v.7).
I was lost but Jesus found me
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way. Rowley
Our value is measured by what God has done for us.
Read: Luke 15:1-10

Happy Caturday-Dogurday!
It’s positively gloomy here in southern WI.
It was very foggy this morning, now it’s overcast and very humid for October.
We have not had any of the bad storms that were predicted,so that is a relief.
Just had a cup o’ tea to get energized. So far, not working!

After a really warm (hot) September, we are now getting cold weather. Taking a little time to acclimate to it.
I blame it on the Demo-Rats!!
