Too sick to post for awhile

Hello all. Well, I spent the evening an night in the e.r. yesterday. I was very, very dehydrated and have the beginnings of a bladder infection. I am still really weak and not allowed toeat solid foods until tomorrow. Praise the Lord I got to come home!!!! But I will be down for the count at least through the weekend. Prayers appreciated and I hope to be back soon. If you comment on a post and I don't moderate it right away, I am not doing e mails right now either. God bless you all.

Christmas wish for you

For you my friends and the friends I have yet to meet.


MY WISH FOR YOU AT CHRISTMAS

My wish for you this Christmas,
From deep down in my heart,
Is for all good and happy things
Such holidays impart.
I wish you peace, and hope, and love,
And health, and happiness,
Prosperity, and close to you,
The ones you love the best.
My wish for you this Christmas
Is most sincere and true,
And it has a special meaning
Because it's just for you.
And you'll always be remembered
For the friendship that you give,
In all my prayers at Christmastime
And every day that I live.
Grace E. Easley

Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to those
on whom His favor rests. Luke 2:14

As promised!

I want you to meet some friends of mine. First is Deb who is owned by Roo the doxie. Aren't they lovely ladies? You can meet them at Roo's site-dachshund diaries. It is in my links and is well worth the visit!

Next this is Dixie who owns Linda in georgia. Isn't this picture a riot!!??? I tell you Dixie lets her mom get away with a lot! I cracked up laughing when I saw this picture!

Couldn't let Katie-Bug be left out! Napping, as usual. Just like she is doing now behind my chair!

Here is Jack with his finished baby quilt. He was being silly! He said, "Tell them Jack-Roy, not kil-roy, was here!" Whatever!

And yes, I am actually doing some stitching. This is a quick stitch but not if you haven't been feeling well! Long post for me but there it is!

Life!

Peek-a-boo!!! it's little old me again!

This is a blessings from dizyrizzy. I really like it. Hey, I have some updates to share with you but it will be in another post. I am feeling lots better and stitching again. Jack has been a very busy boy too. Hint, hint: he finished the baby quilt! I will get pics on later. Thank you too all my awesome friends on here who wished me well, prayed for me and kept me in their thoughts this last month. It has not been an easy month but I made it. I see the doctor today so think good thoughts!

We don't always know why things happen. Disappointments
and difficulties may never be explained. You may
never fully understand why. No doubt there will be
times in your life you will be left scratching your head
trying to figure out, "Why?"

Letting go when there is no understanding that "why?" is
hard. Our culture places such emphasis on finding answers
but, finding answers isn't everything. Your life should not stop
when you don't understand the events. Instead, you must learn to let
go.

So, get on with your life. Regain your energy and passion. Let
go of the frustration of asking "Why?" and clear the deck for
a brighter future.



Something wonderful is happening to me right now.
It is this thing called life.
Life is in my mind. Life is in my body. Life is in my affairs.
I receive it-I share it-I am it and I accept it.
Just the way that it is and just the way that it is not.
Thank you, life. Amen.

This moment matters very much because it is the culmination of all you have ever been and all you have done. This moment matters very much because it is the starting point for everything you will become.
This moment may seem quite ordinary. And yet in its ordinary appearance is an extraordinary nature. For in this moment you are experiencing the incredible, unmatched wonder of life. It seems ordinary only because you know it so well, and even that adds to its wonder.

This moment has its problems and frustrations, its challenges and disappointments. Yet when you step back and put things in perspective, it becomes clear that the positive possibilities far outweigh even the most negative circumstances.

This moment has brought you more than you've ever had before, and its treasure is here now for you to live. Value this moment for all it is by giving to it all you can be, and truly magnificent things will come from it.

What time of day are you?

I gave it a go and this is what it came up with. Some I agree with, some I am not so sure! But I am almost a hermit.! Michelle

You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

What Time Of Day Are You?

Lots of fun today!

Here I am! First less have a laugh! This doxiedeer is from an add we got in the mail! Isn't it a riot? I decorated it and cropped it and all and just love it!

And here is our own Katie-Bugdeer. I don't think she was real pleased with us! LOL! Poor mistreated thing. She has it rough here you know.

And as promised my three current projects. I am working on them one at a time. But I have thread pulled for all as well as fabric. They are all from the same issue of Cross Country Stitching. The Feb. 2007 issue to be precise.



Now let me talk to you a minute. I have not read very many of your blogs lately. Sorry about that. I am going to try and do so tomorrow. I miss them! You see my doctor is trying to change my meds. One was causing my blood sugar to act up and might have caused me to become diabetic if I stayed on it. Well, I am having a rough time of it. The first try is not going so good. I am sleeping very little and just generally miserable! I go back Tuesday and we will get it figured out. He is a wonderful doctor and these things just take time. have a great day!

Blessings from Dizzyrizzy

This is very true. A lot of us who are differently-abled have been held back at one time or another. We just want the chance to try! Oh and stay tuned! Photos coming up later today of my new projects. Yep, projects! I have 3 I will be working on!



Love is giving for the world's needs,
Love is sharing as the Spirit leads,
Love is caring when the world cries,
Love is compassion with Christlike eyes. -Brandt




Some say I am disabled,
But you know that isn't true.
I simply have a challenge
A little different from you.

My slight inconvenience has taught me things
They could not know.
Each obstacle is a victory,
Enabling me to grow.

I'm not really any different.
I cry. I laugh.
I don't want to be treated
As if I'm not a person anymore.

Out of good intentions,
People are afraid to let me try.
But sometimes I have to fall,
And sometimes I need to cry.

God gives me the strength and dignity
And the courage to be all I can be.
For He doesn't see me as disabled,
He just sees me as me.

The Greatest Man in History
Jesus had no servants,
yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles,
yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime,
yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb,
yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve
such a Leader who loves us!
Thanks Mags


Holy warriors for God never quit. Every warrior experiences setbacks and challenges, but the fact that God is on their side means that nothing on earth can hold them down. With God's strength and support, you can become an unstoppable holy warrior who is victorious in every spiritual battle. That's because when it comes to warriors, failure is never the final ending. God has guaranteed victory for those who live right in His name. Today, will you refuse to lose to the enemy? Will you rise up and reach a whole new level of abundant living? Live victoriously today; that's what God has called you to do!

A Prayer for Today
God, thank you for Your guaranteed victory in spiritual battle. Thank you for giving me the chance to be a holy warrior. Help me to be consistent in fighting for You. In Jesus' name. Amen
Thanks Margie

A little of everything!

Let's start with a laugh! I love a good laugh. Then a poem for you my friends and finally an update!


HOLIDAY EVENING

Window ledges filled with snow,
Furries dancing in the air,
Christmas shoppers to and fro,
Anticipation everywhere...
In the darkness of the evening,
Alight with shimmering snow,
Windows shine with Christmas trees,
Those magic jewels aglow...
Pretty music in the air,
A tale of song and rhyme,
Happiness is everywhere...
Lovely Christmastime.

James Joseph Huesgen

My pansies are nearly done. So sorry it is a bit blurry but you get the idea. Just have to outline and make the fabric heart. I plan to use red gingham for the heart. What do you think? Will that work with the design?

God bless you all today! My love and prayers go out to you all.

Going, going, gone!

Can't say much more than the title! Jack laid his coat on the chair and katie took it over!

Lovely Missouri weather

First let me apologize for the quality of the pics! That said, what an interestng time the last couple days have been! We got several inches of rain. Then the sleet came. this is a pic of how much sleet. A couple inches. Springfield too the north of us had limbs down and power outages. Jack and I had an interesting trip to the grocery store in Springfield but it had to be done. The store was on generators as the power was out there. i was a nervous wreck by the time we got home!

This is the 4 or 5 inches of snow on top of the sleet. Katie was not thrilled about her walk today. And it is COLD!!! 18 degrees at ten in the morning. Jack took her for her walk yesterday and today. How sweet of him! Today I believe we will stay inside, sew and play games. I don't leave the house very often and yesterday did it for me for awhile!
