♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥ 

It is  a beautiful day.  We were out to go to therapy and  I did  wrap up a bit...  but the sun is shining and  folks are taking advantage of the cool   temps to do some mowing.  Lynn will be out there  soon, I guess!

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥ 

I just got back from  physical therapy.  I still love  my  therapist!  He   measured my improvement today....  never  too fun!!!  But I am doing better and   I signed for another 4 weeks!!

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥  

We had the most fabulous trip to Lancaster, PA  over the weekend.  So  wonderful to share the time with our  daughter and family!  We saw Moses  at  Sight and Sound.  First time for the girls!    They were entranced!!!  We stayed at the most fabulous hotel,  Amish View inn.    The girls got to show me their  swimming improvement!!  I am so glad  their parents are  bringing them up to swim. ice skate and ski....  all things I never  learned to do!!

♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥ 

I  am  still sort of sleepy today.  Didn't sleep well   neither away or  here last night; I think last night I was dreading the therapy  check up today.  I could take a nap  here after while!!!

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥

Lynn took us out to   a newer restaurant for breakfast  .. I got a  Belgium waffle with a fruited compote to pour over it!  yummy!!!  Then  we  had to stop  at  the grocer    for  stuff for the week!!!

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥

I took pork chops out of the  freezer, so  probably   pork chops, rice and peas,  our daughter's favorite supper  as a child!!!

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥ 

Navy skinny jeans,  warmer   charcoal  warm  knit  long sleeve  shirt, and my  warm socks!!

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥

I love this photo of the girls  ... they were showing me  some clips on  YouTube  of  The Prince of Egypt,  which they had    watched in preparation to seeing the Moses production  at Sight and Sound!!!  They  absolutely loved it and now the oldest  girl wants to be an actress at S and S  and   wear  the  beautiful costumes and sing!!!  Last week she wanted to be an electrical engineer and write program! So cute!!!

Devotions

Renew Your Covenant APRIL 24, 2023

Because of all this we make a firm covenant.

 Nehemiah 9:38

There are many occasions in our experience when we may very rightly, and with benefit, renew our covenant with God. After recovery from sickness when, like Hezekiah, we have had a new lease of years added to our life, we may do so appropriately. After any deliverance from trouble, when our joys spring forth anew, let us again visit the foot of the cross and renew our consecration. Especially let us do this after any sin that has grieved the Holy Spirit or brought dishonor upon the cause of God; let us then look to that blood that can make us whiter than snow and again offer ourselves to the Lord.

We should not only let our troubles confirm our dedication to God, but our prosperity should do the same. If we ever meet with occasions that deserve to be called “crowning mercies,” then surely, if He has crowned us, we ought also to crown our God; let us bring out again all the jewels of the divine regalia that have been stored in the jewel-closet of our heart, and let our God sit upon the throne of our love, arrayed in royal apparel. If we could learn to profit by our prosperity, we would not need to face so much adversity. If we would gather from a kiss all the good it might confer upon us, we would not have to bear the imprint of punishment so often.

Have we recently received some blessing that we hadn’t expected? Has the Lord opened our way? Can we sing of mercies multiplied? Then this is the day to put our hand upon the horns of the altar and say, “Bind me here, my God; bind me here with cords, even forever.” Just as we need the fulfillment of new promises from God, let us offer renewed prayers that our old vows may not be dishonored. This morning let us make with Him a firm covenant because of the sacrifice of Jesus that we have been considering with gratitude for the last mont

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
