hmmm good!!

Me and my Pal

This is me and Lucy. Lucy is my grand-daughters dog. She loves to sit very close to me. She really is a very needy animal. I don't have any great-grandchildren yet so I guess Lucy will have to do. I love it!

A week of Thanksliving

This week will be dedicated to THANKSLIVING

Giving is the secret of a healthly life....

not necessarily money, but whatever

a person has of encouragement and

sympathy and understanding.

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many;

not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Charles Dickens

VETERANS DAY 11-11-11

A special thanks to all those who have fought to keep our country safe and sound.

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY

We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

TIP FOR TUESDAY

Avoid stuck-on wax - Spray the inside of each hold lightly with non-stick vegetable spray before putting the candle in. The wax will pop right out for easy cleaning.

Busy weekend

Sunday was a busy day. Beside setting aside time for worship we visited families at two funeral homes. Two godly ladies were taken to their eternal home ; one last Thursday and one on Friday. Their funeral services are this morning at 11. Both were in their late 80s and had lived their last days in a nursing home. So it is the kids loss but definitely their GAIN.

I am always troubled about something when I go to a funeral home. So often it sounds like everyone is having such a great time seeing old friends/relatives that one forgets that there is a grieving family there. I know it is a time of healing but sometime there is just too much noise. Does anyone else feel this way? I remember when I was the grieving person and everyone was laughing and having a good time I wanted to say "listen up people - I just lost someone who was very dear to me - it is not funny! I don't feel like laughing right now - maybe later you can tell me that funny story. Maybe I have it all wrong - I did appreciate them coming; that meant allot to me; the hugs, the "I'm praying for you" etc. just not all the noise. I would like your thoughts on this. Maybe you can help me see it a different way. Thanks for listening..........

A THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY
