TELESCOPE

Sunday, February 27, 2011

 

What to write? What to write?  Well thanks to Kathy calling us this evening I have something to write.  We have caller ID and the name appears on the phone so we know who's calling.  Always when Kathy would call the ID came up Grubbs, Tim.  Tonight it came up Kathy.  I was surprised and told Kathy what happened and she said "How did it know it wasn't Tim or Tori calling?"  I didn't know maybe we have a smart phone or one with a high powered TELESCOPE:  But Grandpa had the answer.  While I was staying at Tim and Kathy's house Grandpa was playing with the phone and entered some phone numbers with names under phonebook.  He put Kathy's name in for their home phone number.  Grandpa is so smart and our kids should be very thankful of that.  I wonder what part of Grandma they got????  That does not require an answer.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Love looks through a TELESCOPE: envy through a microscope.

 

"We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.  Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up."

 

Love, grandma

NEW

Saturday, February 26, 2011

 

Grandpa had his chiller channel on and was watching a really sick gross movie.  What's worse I sat down with him.  What's worse then that is we were eating chili.  And what's the worst of the worst was found out it was a true story. Ugh!  I think we might have to find a NEW channel for Grandpa.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

A bird does not sing because he has an answer--he sings because he has a song.

 

"And He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God."

Psalm 40:3

PATIENT

Friday, February 25, 2011

 

I can't believe what just happened to me.  I'll explain! 

 

I'm laughing on the inside because I was playing with Grandpa's mind.  I had some 1957 tunes playing and asked Grandpa to guess what year those songs were. 

He said "I have no idea"

I said " Just guess"

He said " I don't know 1960"

I said " Close, It's between 1955 and 1960

He said "1957"

I said "Your Right" Yeah!

Grandpa never did like playing games.

I asked to sit on his lap and he had open arms.

Grandpa is PATIENT sometimes. :))))

 

Now for what just happened is I went to copy what I just wrote and accidentally clicked on paste and yesterdays email came up.  I was shocked to see it.  I guess the joke is on me.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

A bright eye indicates curiosity:  a black eye, too much!

 

"A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a PATIENT man calms a quarrel."

Proverbs 15:18

MIND

Thursday, February 24, 2011

 

Reflecting on today's events I thought I would share with you about an important phone call I made.  I made up my MIND to call a friend I haven't heard from in a long while.  It's been a year that she lost her 5 year old grandson to cancer.  Her name is Karen and many years ago I worked with her at Doc's restaurant.  As time went by we both attended the same church.  I just love this friend because we can talk about our Lord Jesus for hours on end.  Karen moved away and since the lose of her grandson her life took many twist and turns.  Her daughter who is married and has 3 children just got deployed to Iraq.  I decided to call her and we both were so excited to hear each others voice.  What a wonderful blessing this was to us both.  If there is someone you haven't heard from or seen and want to get in contact with don't wait for another time. 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Generosity is a matter of the heart and not finances.

 

"Every one must make up his own MIND as to how much he should give.  Don't force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes."

2 Corinthians 9:7

 

Love, grandma

PLANS

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

 

I had PLANS to attend my bible study today at the church but I didn't know it had been cancelled.  I was the only one in the parking lot and happened to bring along the book I started last night called, The Power Of Suffering by John MacArthur, Jr.  It really is a very good book and the author is very profound in his writings.  He wants to bring you up to the challenge of strengthening your faith in the refiner's fire.  I'm a slow reader so this is a perfect book for me.  I'm thinking the car is the best place to read a book.  Very quiet and time for reflection of what I just read. 

 

The afternoon was as wonderful as the morning.  I worked on a quilt and our 10 year old Amish neighbor girl came with a plate of oatmeal raisen cookies.  I say thank you Lord for this beautiful day even if it didn't go as I PLANNED.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

God gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.

 

"The mind of man PLANS his way, but the Lord directs his steps."

Proverbs 16:9 NASB

RUIN

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

 

Spent the morning with quilting friends and plan to meet again next Tuesday.  I think this Windham Historical Quilt will be really nice when finished.

 

I was all inspired when I came home and worked on another quilt in my sewing room.  So much fun all in one day. Didn't want to RUIN the quilting high I was having.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Nothing RUINS the truth like stretching it.

 

"A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish."

Proverbs 19:9

SHINE

Monday, February 21, 2011

 

Two more days and Steve and Tracy will be soaking up the sun and letting it SHINE on them in Mexico.  Hope the airport is open and no flight delays.  Have fun you two and be careful! 

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

It isn't necessary to blow out the other fellow's light in order to let your own light SHINE.

 

"That there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another."

1 Corinthians 12:25  NASB
