April 11, 2008

What it can't be! How did I turn up 60 today. That sounds old. Why don't I feel old - except for a couple health issues that I'm working on.

I wonder about the next couple decades of my life. What plans does God have? I want to be challenged to do my best for Him. Please don't sit me on a shelf.

I appreciated the fireworks He provided today. These Southern storms can be annoying but the one today I took as celebration.

To my kids and grandkids. Live your life for others. Live your life full speed ahead.

Regrets: Now this sounds like a song "Regrets, I have a few" - biggest being - I wish I had known Jesus as my personal Saviour earlier in my life. I knew about Him, but I didn't commit my life to Him, until our boys were teenagers. Praise God, He protected them and guided their every path. But I missed out on doing important things like daily devotions with them, etc. I would know them more deeply if I had.

Can't believe I never prayed for them until they were teenagers unless they were sick or hurt.

It humbles me God's great and loving care.

Thanks for life and love!

Spring Break 2008

No one is playing scrabble this afternoon on Facebook, I can't get into understanding the Mousetrap game, so I deleted that so I thought I would fill you in on our Spring Break.

It was great to see our friends in Burlington. The Andrews are so generous to have us over and invite others to join in. This was the first we'd see our friend Mabel since her surgery. We were pleased to see her progress. She continues her positive attitude.

Friends Al and Jan had a few of us over for dinner also. It was fun to be with Huntley partners again. I treasure those days so much now.

It was good for me to be in Ya-Ya's interview for Camp. I had grown quite hesitant about her serving there this summer. But during the interview I was given peace about the leadership and the care that she will be given there. I pray the Spirt of Christ falls deeply on her this summer.

We visited two casinos with our pastor sons and their families. Sounds funny. We had lunch in each casino. I especially like the ambience of the one in Orillia. If you have to be stupid and be taxed that would be a lovely place to blow your hard earned money.

I am in a weird mood and mode today sorry. God bless you.
