HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO EVERYONE!

 

My prayers are everyone can know the LOVE of God.

 

LOVE will find a way.

 

"LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind, and is not jealous; LOVES does not brag and is not arrogant..."

1 Corinthians 13:4 NASB

CONQUER

Sunday, February 13, 2011

 

Do any of you have a problem with seeing  the information on your computer screen?  It's that in between near sightedness and far sightedness that's the problem.  I put my face practically on the screen to see or stand across the room.  Either Grandpa is getting smarter or I'm getting dumber. ( that does not require an answer)

Today as I was trying to read something on the screen Grandpa said "why don't you bring the screen closer to you by pulling it forward".  HELLOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  I did and it changed my life.  I CONQUERED my sight problem.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Those who expect to win have already begun to CONQUER.

 

"But in all these things we overwhelmingly CONQUER through Him who loved us."

Romans 8:37

BEHIND

Saturday, February 12, 2011

 

Yesterday Grandpa was the hero.  Today I'm not so sure what he is going to be because he has been watching chiller movies today on TV.  He came out in the kitchen and chuckled and said "I haven't seen scary movies in a long time."  You don't know how bad I want to sneak up BEHIND him and YELL :O.  But I know better because I might be the victim in "Without A Trace". 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Keep your face to the sunshine of His love and the shadows will fall BEHIND you.

 

"Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of thy wings."

Psalm 17:8 RSV

A HERO

Friday, February 11, 2011

 

Grandpa is a hero!  Last night Grandpa at 6 o' clock took 20 year old Cathy and her 10 year old sister to the Laundromat.  There were two boys who were in the Laundromat just hanging out.  They left on their bikes when the two Amish girls went in.  Grandpa came home and pretty soon the third sister called and asked Grandpa to take her to the Laundromat.  Grandpa took her and the girls were fearful of the two boys that were hanging around the place. They were pretty hard to IGNORE riding their bikes back and forth.  There was a smell of weed in the air from when the boys were in the bathroom.  Grandpa knew the girls were scared so he went in the Laundromat, sat down, and waited till the girls were done.  They called Grandpa their hero.  Today one of the girls brought over a plate of sugar and chocolate chip cookies for Grandpa, their hero. 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Sin would have few takers if the consequences occurred immediately.

 

"Don't be misled; remember that you can't IGNORE God and get away with it: a man will always reap just the kind of crop he sows!

Galatians 6:7 TLB

PROVE

Thursday, February 10, 2011

 

I started out today thinking of whom ever I meet I wanted to make a difference in their life in a good way. 

 

I had my mammogram done this morning and I met a really nice technician.  Her name was Daine Hedge and she had lived and went to school in Windham.  She made me feel very comfortable having such an ouchy test. 

 

My next person was the cashier at Marc's.  Her name was Bonnie and Marc's did not accept our Master Card as they only accept Discover credit cards.  She was patient with me writing my check.  She watched over me because I had stuff all over her counter.  She said "you just can't be to careful these days".

 

My third person I met was at the Health Center.  I finished swimming and was in the locker room getting ready to come home when this young gal came in and said "Hi honey".  We talked about the weather and how it made our nose run.   She was on her way to do her workout and she said "Have a nice day Sweetheart".

 

As it turned out everyone I met PROVE to make my day better.  I was blessed.

 

People may doubt what you say, but they will always believe what you do.

 

"But PROVE yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."

James 1:22  NASB

MORNING

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

 

How many of you caught my 2010 date yesterday?  I did get a couple of Welcome Back emails.  Thank you for thinking of Grandma. 

 

It was one of those days today when you wake up and say "I wonder what today will bring".  I think I'm going to change my philosophy and say "What can I say or do to make this day count"?  I can't go back to yesterday even though I did try with my 2010 date.   It's interesting to think about who I met and talked to today.  The first person I see every MORNING is Grandpa and when I think about it we have a pretty special tradition of how we start our MORNING.  (That's all you need to know)  That sets the start of a new day with a smile. :)

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Everything is easier with practice except getting up in the MORNING.

 

"Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare."

Proverbs 20:13

I'M B A C K

Tuesday, February, 8, 2010

 

Grandma's B A C K from her retreat or I should say treat.  Had a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with Tori.  In everyone's busy days it's hard to set aside time to spend with our grandchildren.  God was so good He even provided two school snow days while I was there.  Tori and I both took advantage of them by sleeping in later then usual.  While I was gone Grandpa was nursing a very bad cold so for meals he and Campbell's chicken noodle soup were good friends.  I have a few stories I could share but I'm only going to give you the headline topics.  1. The lost kitty, 2. My lost cell phone, 3. Two tear jerker movies, The Last Song and The Titanic, and number 4, Being locked out.  It would be hard to pick just ONE to tell so I'll leave it at that.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

ONE plus God is a majority.

 

"If God be for us, who can be against us?"

Romans 8:31 8:31 (b) KJV
