Well, today also begins my second week of shingles.. Praise the lord, I have turned a corner.. not to say I am pain free, but the rashes and blisters are on the mend.
The weather~ Well, at least this week, it looks like Phil knew waht he was about yesterday.. Spring is near!
How I am feeling this morning~
I am looking forward to my day... I got around early with my compresses and other issues so I can try to stay engaged downstairs and start to regain my strength!
On my mind~
So I had to cancel all three of my therapy sessions last week due to the shingles and I canceled today, but I do plan to make a go of it on Wedensday! I may not be the greatest but I will persevere through it!

For our government for transparency, truth, justice, and doing the jobs they were sent to do!
For those I know and don't know who are suffering with debilitating and worse conditions and sicknesses.. for healing, strength, perseverance, find the joy in their suffering.. especially my dear friend, Jan, who is finishing her chemo treatments which have been so hard, but now faces radiation!
For the mess in our General Assembly to get straightened out.. peacefully and with godly wisdom
Traveling mercies for dear friends who are driving from Florida this week. over a couple of days, for safety and strength, alertness and that angels with guide them all the days of their sojourn there. They a re older and are needing the climate mainly.
The fires, quakes, the unrest around the world
The lost in these divers places
For God's mercy to hover over the earth and give people rest and the forbearance to continue to persevere in their trials and testings!
Devotional/Bible Verse
Always
My foes are many, they rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
Troubles surround me, chaos abounding
My soul will rest in You
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
From You Lord, from You Lord
HA HA - I think Phil lied, at least here, as Friday was gorgeous and I'm sitting here watching snow right now. There were many shadows here yesterday. I sure hope you get back into your therapy routine and are feeling better soon. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry you're suffering with shingles. My stepmother had it and recently my niece got it as well. So painful. I sure hope you heal fast.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Ouch shingles! I need to check on that vaccine. Hoping Phil is right :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
I certainly hope Phil is right! Me and Winter are done...even though it has been pretty darn mild. I hope your shingles get better soon - my mother had them once and she was in SO MUCH pain! Heal quickly! HUGS
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are dealing with shingles. Prayers for a speedy recovery! I'm so hoping that groundhog knew what he was talking about as I'm already anxious for spring. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeletePraying for completely health and healing over you here and yeah for an early spring! I am so ready for it! Have a blessed week ahead! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Phil isn't just messing with us! Glad you are on the mend, have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeletePhil's prediction is right so far in our area as well. We're experiencing temperatures in the 70s!
ReplyDeleteWell wishes on your recovery.
