Does time seem to be flying by? I am getting so I cannot keep up... sos I am doing this post earlier than usual Actually, in my dotage I cannot work at the same pace and remember everything that you do to post on blogger.. so I try to get at it so my memory does not fade away. That is what happened earlier in the week when I failed to update what I had written before posting and it was all erased..
Bummer!!!
well, it is Wednesday, the 27th of August and I am so pleased with the lovely days the Lord has given us.. I have always dreaded the dog days of summer.. with the searing heat and super humidity. these days have certainly been a gift from on high!
Therefore it is time to share our blessings... On Monday I had been missing our daughter and her family so much. They live 7 states away so any time we can spend online is a real treat. but their summer has been hectic with trips, camps and establishing our oldest granddaughter in a new school that our Facetime has been extremely limited.
So Monday we did get to visit on the computer and it truly seemed our 9 and 11 year old grands had grown so much.
I am so thankful that even as my poor knee has been in a state of decline for up to two years now, the Lord has given hours of reprieve following ice bagging it so I can still get some things done around the house. You might ask why have I waited so long to take care of it, but unfortunately I have had one medical problem after another. even now I am hoping to get released from my cardiologist regarding my ablation I had almost 2 months ago. I have one more month to go before I see the surgeon and get released for my next great adventure.. a knee replacement!even at that.. I was told when I see the surgeon don't be surprised taht he will say we can't do it for another 6 months.. my schedule is full! Bah!!!!
So I am reprieved to do some cleaning around the lower lever so I can still have my prayer group here instead of going to the other homes that unfortunately have such steps that I cannot negotiate. Another great reprieve was a dear friend offered to bake a lovely dessert for us to serve tomorrow!! I will offer the tea and coffee! Our prayer group has been meeting twice a month for well over 10 years. Praise God for special friend- (sisters), who truly love each other and love to spend time together with the lord!!!
The Lord gave me the will and ability to do some reading yesterday. I used to love to read, but over time my eyes sometimes fail me, but Lynn got me a portable book light that absolutely makes reading a joy! I was able to purchase some fabulous books form Thrift Books online and have found them to be such a solace and really fun thing to do..I enjoy cosy mysteries and now I am rereading Pride and prejudice as well as a book form my bookcase, I didn't realize was a historical novel It is entitled Glencoe
a Scottish Romance..I bought it three summers ago while at the Glencoe information center and assumed it was a historical volume. And well, the time frame is the time following the horrible massacre of Glencoe, Well, to my surprise it is the most beautifully written novel and is described so majestically, I feel like I am right back there entranced by God's beauty of creation! I feel certain the Lord allowed me to wait for just the right moment to pick it up and enjoy reading again!
Today is Wednesday and I must praise the Lord for my dear husband without whom I would be completely lost and unable to even survive. I do so look forward to the days when all my troubles are behind me and we can enjoy our endeavors together.
Tomorrow will be our wonderful prayer event.. we meet at 9:30 and so enjoy our time with the Lord that we go until after 12! we always begin with a song. I love the time spent coming up with the perfect song.

Is He Worthy by Andrew Peterson
and I will end this week's post by adding.Jesus is the one and only Worthy one..
Praise the Lord for his love in sending Him to and for us11
Oh! Is He Worthy is one of my all-time favorite songs! In fact, I have a canvas painting? photo? in my living room of a lion and when people ask about it I tell them it's the Lion of Judah!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that book light must be for you. I pray the surgeon has time soon for your surgery. Lord, please open a space in the doctor's schedule so the surgery can happen very soon! Have a wonderful weekend!
