a blessed time with my Lord

Today, I pulled two shifts at work,  due to  so much illness going around.  I was pretty beat,mighty tired.  As  I was coming home from having dinner at moms. I was reflecting on how much God has healed me. I work every day 5-8 hours. Not a sitting job . I am talking about lifting,carrying, running after or consoling little ones.  I love my job. Today, when one of the young girls woke up sick, we prayed for her. I love the freedom of reading bible stories and singing about Jesus.  As I looked up in the sky the most gorgeous sunset and clouds panned the sky.  It was like the Lord smiling down. If the trumpeted sounded I would not have been surprised! I lifted my voice to praise my wonderful Lord.

My daughter was right, blogging is so relaxing.... I think I will do better at it.

Psalms121:1  A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

So much fun today

Wow,2 days in row I am posting. Went with our day care kids to pumpkin patch.  Had so much fun.  Esp the cow train.  Lucky for me, my boy wanted to go on it twice.  I an firm advocate of the cow train.  It will chase all your cares away.

A better solution is to cast all your cares upon Jesus.  That works every time.

Home again

So after living in Arkansas for 2 years, then living in Wisconsin for 10 years. We have moved back to our home town church to pastor there.  So exciting to be near our 13 grandchildren and our son and daughter and spouses. The preschoolers we left 13 yrs ago are graduating this next year. Blows the mind.

My thoughts go back to how the Lord knew all about this.  Our bus job became no more.  The company had lost the contract.  In just a few days, we knew we were moving anyhow.

God has been so good.  Both John and I have work. How I prayed about my job.  I am hired to work at a christian day care.  The joy of everyday praying over food. reading bible stories and singing about Jesus. To see how God works when you pray for those you work with.

We have a wonderful church family. Meeting new families that have come since we left 13 years ago. 



Truly it goes without saying, we left friendships once again when we moved.  I am so thankful that in this day and age it is easier to keep in contact with them. Still can share the bible scriptures every morning and prayer requests back and forth.

Heaven is going to be a wonderful place. A place where good byes will no longer exist.  Pain and sorrow will be no more.

I truly am going to try to be better about keeping this up to date. Not making you and promises but I am gonna try.....

Its been over a year since I last blogged.  It has been a crazy learning and waiting on the Lord. He has never failed us.


Jer 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
