Welcome to FFF! Hosted by Susanne!
This has been an odd week. It started out pretty great.
Looking back at Happy Homemaker Monday, things were looking up.. I wrote about getting a full night’s sleep, feeling great and ready to go.So where did we go, to Hamricks…since I’ve lost 30 pounds I needed some clothing. And man I found some very nice items. I am so thankful for the weight loss and thankful for some slacks that fit, and new tops that match the colors of the new slacks. Heretofore, I wore black slacks all the time. Went with everything, right? So my week started out great.
Even back in August my prayer group was re-establishing and we were set to have our first prayer time around my table. So we worked hard to get everything looking nice, mopped, vacuumed and washed the coffee cups and the table was ready. We planned to meet on Thursday.I was very excited about having our home looking nice, spit shined, really!
Wednesday, I awakened feeling pretty bad, I was chilling, and just could not get out of bed. Now even on Monday and Tuesday I had been feeling pretty bad in my gut. Bloating, mainly, nothing I did gave any relief. I sent Lynn to the store for gas-x. But now being bedfast and chilling I really did not think of covid, and now I really think it wasn’t covid. I think it was a bad flu. I was so achy, I just wanted to stay in bed, which isn’t good for arthritic limbs, but as long as it felt good. That is where I stayed. I was very disappointed but sent out an email that I was under the weather and was shutting down all events for the week.
That meant I missed Wednesday Bible Study,Thursday prayer meeting, attending the last 6 Sister luncheon of the year. Going to a great seminar about end times we had looked forward to. Tonight we will miss the Intercessors for America prayer group. I do hope to get to attend church this weekend. Today I was able to eat my regular food. I just wasn’t eating hardly anything, and since I wasn’t drinking much either, I know I was dehydrated. That is what was causing me to have several chilling episodes. I try to see the good in all this. I am so thankful that I am feeling better and things are looking up. I just have to give my sad events that I missed to God. I have had the opportunity to sit and watch some great Christian pastors….like Allen Jackson and Gary Hamrick.. highly recommended!
This Sunday Lynn and I are changing Sunday School class. When we joined the church we just jumped into a class and have been there for almost 3 years, but now it just isn’t working especially for me. Lynn has graciously decided that we would do this for me, because he really like that class. But I think he will love the new one, too. He really likes the teacher already! Thank you, Lord!
So that is my week… I don’t think I had 5 grateful thoughts but my days have run together … one thing is definitely true. When times like this come prayer becomes tantamount in your life. Sometimes, I have no idea what I prayed. I was rather out of it, but He is such a good God. He knows our heart!
That's so sad you missed all those events. But you're right, the only thing to do now is give them to God. He always brings peace, healing and restoration. I'm glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThank you the kind comment. I was under the weather from Tuesday thru Sunday. Nope we could go to church today. I do look forward to the new Womens Bible study on the 7 feasts this coming week. I took a covid test today. Tested neg. Thank goodness. But it was a pretty fretful flu. I hope you had a good week. And here’s hoping things will be much better for all in the new week!
DeleteWow, I am so sorry you were so sick and unable to participate in so many things...but sometimes God tells us to lie down in the green pastures beside the still waters and just rest and be restored. Even if we didn't think we particularly needed all that rest and restoration, God knows best. So hopefully next week you will be feeling much better and soon you will be able to reschedule the things you were hoping to do. And I do hope the new S.S. class works out for both of you. How nice to have choices! Our church is small, and we only have one adult class, and my hubby teaches it, so of course, that's where I go too, even if there was another choice! LOL. have a blessed and wonderful and peaceful weekend. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe blessing I see here is that you are feeling better. Hopefully you will be able to make it to church on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteGracious and supportive husbands are definitely a gift from God.
Enjoy your weekend and be well.
I'm sorry you've been sick, but I am glad you're feeling better. We used to live near a Hamrick's--I miss them!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were so unwell. I hope you're feeling better by now and able to enjoy the weekend.
