Random thots to bring your up to speed.....

God is always good

God has shown Himself powerful in bringing things together for Dad's care. (two toes that needed urgent care and his doctor was making rounds at the Home that day) (Someone to take him to the clinic as I've had a fever,)

March 6 wedding flowers are done and would have been picked up today, but I have a fever.

My doctor was able to see me today and give me some horse capsules to help me over this crud. I feel like the glands under my ears are sticking out there. 

We haven't had the predicted snow. Andy & Melissa were able to get home safely from their trip to Florida last week.

Wesley did not have to have medicine or be hospitalized for RSV.

Got fantastic pictures of my wedding flowers from the photographer, Joel Wires.

Can't wait to post them on my website.

God allowed my revising of my "Ooh La La" page on www.justsilks.net to upload to the internet without too much fussing. Had a bit of trouble with the program, Dreamweaver, but that too was solved. God is an up-to-date God. He knows all about computers and the internet. He cares about our desires.

Been able to find a fill-in for the Prairie View Bible study this Sunday while we get out of Dodge--Creston, that is and spend the weekend with Andy & Melissa in Ankeny.

My friend, Lynne, that is fighting cancer has seen God's power in that the last chemo treatment was supposed to give her complexion a red look.  No red, just nice skin. The tumor is shrinking, and she is able to breathe, sleep, and swallow better. Keep praying.

I am thankful for God's Word that continues to prick my heart. I am thankful for my home, my hubby, the encouragement of our kids, support from my uncles and aunts in Michigan, and for Godly friends.

Well, been up for awhile as went to the doctor and then to the pharmacy. Eating dinner in the chair sounds good. Larry has his "Japan call" tonight so he won't be home until around 8 p.m..

A NOTE WORTHY LITTLE GENTLEMAN

He had Grandmum's help to place some of these postanotes.

I'm so far behind....

in keeping this blog up-do-date, but just wanted to let you know that it was 57 degrees in beautiful downtown Creston, Iowa at 5 p.m. today. Strong wind out of the south. At ten minutest after 8 it is still at 50.

Am so enjoying hugs, smiles, cuddles, and snuggle times with Wesley. No, I definitely am NOT spoiling him. He is walking, and his reach is something else. I have to check and double check where I put things down. He and Benny are getting along. Benny just hides when things get too much. He goes nutz when Wesley squeals with glee at the puppy dog.

Was advocate for Dad again today in front of the administrator, head nurse, and social worker. Prayed that I could give a Godly appeal, and my prayers were answered. In short after I said with a smile, "If I have to come every day to care for Dad, I expect to be put on the payroll or have the monthly amount charged Dad discounted" the Administrator is assigning 2 nurses to oversee Dad's care for the next little while. I expect to be there so that I can see what transpires.

Didn't walk must this week. Larry and I have issues with sleeping. We don't. Not sure what is happening. I read with my miner's lamp for awhile after the light were turned off and my eyes finally got sleepy. Larry was already sawing logs but he said he didn't sleep.

Have all but 4 pew decorations to do for the March 6 wedding. Thirty days from today.

Must get started on the June, July, and October weddings. Then several have been talking to me about Prom flowers. PTL that there is business coming in.

Well been learning lessons from the Lord. Learning that He is in control. Learning that only the Lord can change things. Then when I pray for the Lord to work, I ashamedly am so amazed when He supplies something.

My friend is fighting for her life with throat cancer. Just diagnosed. They have taken two biopsies to see what kind of treatment will stop the spread of this very rare and aggressive cancer. Please remember Lynne in prayer.

Have a wonderful weekend in the Lord's House.
