Be not conformed

I love this verse

IT is a challenge to me and a reminder what my life is to be.

Have a great Lord's day

C-pap..more info added at bottom

Well, it is official. I already knew it, but I do have
sleep apnea.
Yesterday I went and got my C-pap machine.
It is so little and the hose and mask hooks up to it.
I slept with it last night and did pretty good.
I am praying that this will help with the daytime fatigue
that has been so debilitating. I am committed to sleeping with this.
The lady who worked with my told me her aunt died of untreated
sleep apnea. I know things like this take awhile to get used to.
So my desire is that I will be able to do it, and I will finally get
some decent sleep.

This might help explain things more, right now I am trying a nasal mask...the picture isn't exact but you get the idea:
Sleep Apnea and C-Pap

Bloomin' Rhodi's

My Rhododendron is finally blooming.

They are coming alive all over our countryside

It is also our state flower.

soooo...pretty.

Thank you--to yours and mine who have served

This is the grave of my younger brother. We went out last Memorial Day
and visited the National Cemetary. He did not die in war, but was a
veteran with the priviledge of being buried in a National Cemetary.

A very sobering place to be

Thank you to those in my family who have served:
Jim
Matt
Josh

Linens and Embroidery

Oh...I love these kinds of things

I found this post at Betty's

"She Sews Pretty"

There are even more pictures on her post.

Have a look

Do you embroider?

Have you ever

I find it and small hand work to be very therapeutic.

I also like to find stitchery pieces discarded in Thrift shops and such

I hope you appreciate the beauty of hand work, I sure do.

Thank you Lord, for all that are praying for her.
I know that she and her family appreciates it.

many of us in prayer for her.

little break

I am in the process or doing some Spring sorting and cleaning

So.... think I will take a few days off of posting here.

Might find a few minutes to hop on over to your blogs.

I just need to get some projects done.

I am sure you all know how that is.

to be a blessing

With prices rising , I was thinking of ways to help my budget.

I think when you find a deal, try to buy a few extras of that item.

Check the expiration dates on the cans/packages first.

When you get home, put them in the back

and don't forget to rotate your food.

NEXT

Purchase extras for those who are being more affected by these

*tight times*

You know who they are:

** the elderly in your church

** the couple that barely is making it

** students

**Family

**Neighbors

** someone on fixed income

Have you ever had tough times

when a bag of assorted foods would have made

ALL the DIFFERENCE ???

WE HAVE.

I do believe that were meant to be blessings to others

What ideas do you have?

Matthew 25:40

And the King shall answer and say unto them,

Verily I say unto you,

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,

ye have done it unto me.

It's not so bad, really

Yes, gas is high

yes, food costs are going up &

this election stuff is getting crazy

but really it's not so bad.

Read the above verse

and I think you will agree.

The BEST is yet to come

for those of us

who are HIS

Philippians

Happy Mother's Day

have a wonderful Lord's Day

2nd post today....Fun Friday ???

You Are a Licorice Jelly Bean

You are an acquired taste. The less people fight your strange ways, the more they like them.

What Flavor Jelly Bean Are You?

I haven't heard this comment from the politicians

lately, during this pre-election propaganda

have you?

Thrift shop stitchery

Another THRIFT SHOP find

don't know if you can see the detail

but to me it represents work, tossed aside

needing

to be rescued.

Cost $ 1.99

I love bargains like this.

Daniel Webster Quote

My Pastor, included this quote in his sermon Sunday Evening

was the day I realized,
that I am personally and individually
accountable to God for how I lived."
