SWEET: Trevor went with Stephen to the grocery store yesterday. He told Stephen he needed to go look at something for a minute and later came back with three helium balloons.  He used what little of his birthday money to buy me the balloons because he knew they'd cheer me up. He made me a get well soon/I love you card. Incredibly Sweet! YUMMY: Beef stew--economical, easy to make, filling and good for what ails you. It was our supper Friday and lunch Sunday.  INJURED: Trevor came back in the house this afternoon telling us that there was a cat outside that only had one eye and was obviously starving. Trevor and Stephen are SEVERELY allergic to cats. So I took it out some milk. I felt really sorry for it. We don't know if it will hang around or not, but we named it Lucky.   DADDY: My daddy is finally able to get his knee replacement surgery. He'll do one knee at a time then hopefully be able to do each hip. Unfortunately, the surgery date is the 19th of November My birthday is the 20th and though we may not be able to do anything, we'd planned on having our entire family home together. So..we need to figure out our schedule. We'll be at my parents house helping out from the night of the 20th-until Thanksgiving FOR SURE. Stephen will be preaching for daddy Sunday a.m. and p.m on the 22nd and on the 24th (Wednesday service changed to Tuesday). We'll help with the animals and anything else needed. I hope we can be there for the surgery. Prayers appreciated. DRIVE: Stephen and I decided to take a break from this raging storm (physical, mental, financial, emotion and spiritual storm) and go for a ride to view the BEAUTIFUL fall foliage. We saw this sign..anyone want to rent a church?  We shared a few pieces of chicken tenders and diet mountain dew in the car as we traveled. We drove down unknown (to us) roads and got some really great pics. We totally enjoyed the time out together...getting out without really getting out. Now back to fighting the battle at hand. Continued prayers in this area appreciated as well. |
