♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
It is a bit more sunny this morning and spring flowers are smiling back at me. We have most everything planted now. Lynn is fixing our coffee and yogurt this morning, then after that we are going to the hospital to visit my cousin’s granddaughter and the family. Sweet little Aubrey was in a horrific accident last last week. praise God she is doing well. But she still needs many prayers.. Six year old Aubrey was playing with a racket strap while riding as a passenger in the back seat of a pickup truck. One end of the strap went out the window and became wrapped around the drive shaft. As the strap turned around the drive shaft, Aubrey was almost pulled out of the window and the tightening strap severed her feet, mostly off, but because there was a bit of leg still attached on Thursday night she underwent 6 hour surgery to reattach. So far so good. We are praying for a full healing. But it is at least 6 month process. Thank goodness for Ronald McDonald House.
♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
I am working on this post while also watching a few YouTube videos. I am looking forward to Lynn bringing me my yogurt. My coffee is something I am trying to get used to. I started Weight watchers last Friday. I really am loving it. My mind is set, I really need to stick with this. So now I do use creamer, but that tsp of sugar is no more.
♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
Yesterday Lynn and I went to a wonderful recital. It was held at the huge downtown baptist church and the older large chapel was half full of guests. One of our pastor’s wife is one of my best friends at church, and we were there to see her daughters who play the violin and piano respectively.
♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥
I am feeling quite happy. Just after 3 full days of WW I have lost 6 pounds following exactly the plan. And we were able to eat after church yesterday at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I had a chicken quesadilla and a guacamole salad...it was delicious!
♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
Coffee and fruited yogurt!
♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
Tonight I am grilling some chicken breast and will have some zero- counting veggies and fruits. A very ample supper!
♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
My new Sunday denim pants and a very cute floral tunic . Same as last week! Well, we’re off soon to the hospital!
♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥
Chapters from Numbers Psalm Isaiah 2Peter
Also, Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis
♥♥On my TV this week ♥♥
Youtube channels, for example , Location, Location, Location, Escape to the Country, and The Food Network, and HGTV, old seasons of Father KNows Best.. I am a sucker for the old shows!!!Also, hubs and I enjoy watching the old Dick Van Dyke program before bedtime!
♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
I spend much of my quiet time in the den… reading, painting, studying the birds that come to the feeder outside my window, enjoying my coffee with a snack, our watching tv. Truly, my cosy corner does need a pick up. Things kept at arms length need to be sorted and re -stored in their proper places. This is probably an on-going thing. But outside, we have got to find a new home for the bird feeder. A place where the squirrels cannot jump to it. A tree or even the house screen, and they are eating all the food. I am getting so I detest the wildlife around here. They are taking over my favorite things outside!!!
If you love Scotland, you might enjoy this one!!!Last week they traveled back across Scotland from Skye to Kirkcaldy.. their old home town. I remembered so much of the road trip from our trip last summer. I really enjoyed it!!!

Devotional
We must let God take over the day for us if we want everything we do to yield a positive result. He is the Almighty, and He knows the best, so we should let Him decide for us today; let God care about us.Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.” (Luke 12:22)
Even though we are in a world full of disappointment and frustration, Jesus reminded us never to worry about anything. God is ready to take care daily of everything we need. He will help us to survive in the most challenging situations. It is the smallest of the things God can do for us. But, he will indeed supply every one of our needs. Philippians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
GOD IS READY TO TAKE CARE DAILY OF EVERYTHING WE NEED
Oh my! poor Aubrey. will be sending positive thoughts. So nice of you to bring flowers to the girl's recital. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrific thing for a 6 year old (anyone, really) to endure. Prayers for the healing process goes faster than expected. Glad she wasn't more seriously hurt. Hope you've had a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteMy heart hurt to hear about your story, but I'm so glad that she is doing well, that is horrific! Prayers for a full recovery for her! I love that you attended that recital, as a pastor's wife myself I am always so touched when our members treat my kids like their own family! I'm glad you did that and enjoyed yourself! I'm also going to start a new diet plan over the summer, and I'm paying for weight watchers and not using it- so honestly that's what I should be doing lol! Glad its going well for you!
