Saturday Sunshine


It's a beautiful Saturday morning! Cold, but beautiful. I hope you're all enjoying this day.

We had a great time with Stephanie and her husband Don yesterday. It was so good getting to know new friends, and to find we have much in common. And when I think of how we met ... just goes to show me once again, how God orders our steps when we least expect it. I was a patient, Stephanie was one of my nurses and that led to a friendship that goes beyond hospital walls. I'm so thankful.

We also went to the Library yesterday afternoon and I picked up 4 books to read...I started my first one last nite and it's called The Walk by Richard Evans. Already I can tell it's going to be a good book and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading.

What are YOU doing today? Christmas shopping? Working? Resting? Whatever it is, may your day be blessed and may you know the peace that only God can give.


Blessings to you all!
Love,
Louise

Christmas!


Good Friday morning Family!

Isn't it good to be alive? Yep, I think so! Life, even with its problems, is so precious and I sincerely hope each person reading this, knows first-hand this truth.  I love each of you and sincerely hope and pray that this Christmas is a blessed one for you!

Clyde and I are having lunch today with a new friend and her husband. Stephanie was one of my nurses while I was in the hospital this last time. She is a sweet lady who also lives close to us and attends the same church as Darrel Manuel, Clyde's cousin. What a small world we live in. And what a blessing to know her.

While I was in the hospital, they were able to diagnose what is wrong with my feet. Finally! It's a condition called Erythromelalgia and is quite rare....what else would I have, right? They researched and consulted and came to the conclusion that plain old aspirin is the best course of therapy (and inexpensive too) and it has helped a great deal. Thank the Lord for good doctors!  It seems I will always have pain, but for the most part, it's manageable. Just knowing what this condition is, is a blessing.

Don't forget to pray for Tony B....he's having heart surgery this Monday, Dec.

That's about all for now, take care!

Love to all,
Louise
