worn out...

we went to town today...

just Walmart and Rural King...

so aggravated at Walmart...

don't they have anything anymore?

ARG

but I did find some things...

and I will post about it tomorrow...

took my camera and took zero photos!

bad me...

I forgot I had it in my purse...

I had a senior moment, I guess...

but had to take a nap when we got home...

thank you to my guys who put up with me today...

I was a cranky pants at times...

I think I will stay out of Walmart for a while...

will be back with more tomorrow!

just had to share this...

Me: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Me: Promise You won't get mad
... ... ... ...
God: I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one
of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I'm Sorry God

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

this was on my facebook page today...

and after I hit share, I had to share it with you...

so if your day isn't going to your plan...

remember this...

there is a reason...

its not a BAD day...

its a GOD day!

this and that...

Doug has an infected tooth...

called the dentist yesterday morning and they called in antibiotics and a pain killer...

it is worse today...

but should start going down by morning...

we talked on facebook last night and early this morning...

but just before noon he showed up here...

for mom to take care of him...

if its worse in the morning, we may hit the er...

you can see the swelling is up to just under his eye...

he is up long enough to eat and take meds...

and the rest of the time, he's been sleeping...

feverish...

achy...

the sun did come out and was shining through the curtains...

you can see the outline of the sheers...

and a little something on the valentine tree...

its all coming down tomorrow...

packed away for another time...

we ate and ran to walmart to get my test strips for my meter...

ice cream cone at KFC...

I got a a couple licks in...

DH was so brave- said he would take one for the team and ate the rest...

he's so gallant...

stopped by the deli on the way home...

and back in time to get ready for bed...

yeah, not quite ready for the nursing home...

but not youngin's anymore!

hope you have a blessed day...

delight...

I just wanted to thank you all for all of your prayers and kind words...

the loss of a child must be the worst pain possible...

I can not even imagine and I pray that the Lord will not ask me to bury one of my own...

my family will be in God's hands as they lay to rest the shell of this sweet soul...

and He will see them through...

visitation is Thursday...

funeral on Friday...

and her birthday is on Sunday...

also, Rebecca's gram is being buried tomorrow...

the bible says to cry at birth and rejoice at death...

and somehow we have gotten that all messed up...

because the earthly death means a spiritual birth...

a new beginning that lasts forever...

no pain, no tears...

only peace, joy and love...

in the purest forms...

so rejoice as these 2 new souls make their rounds in Heaven...

embrace their peace, joy and love...

the ones left behind will be lost and lonely for a time...

until they find the strength to stand again...

and until they do...

we need to pray...

to lift them up...

there will be questions that can never be answered here...

pain that will fade over time...

but the wounds are fresh and they need to heal...

and the sting of this moment will leave...

we have all been through funerals and partings...

and there will probably be many more before our turn comes...

and that is why God gave us each other...

and I am so thankful He gave me you...

angels...

thank you, Lord, for sending angels to keep us safe here below...

yesterday morning we woke to a small 2 inch snow...

nothing major in this neck of the woods...

but my DH hit a patch of it yesterday morning on his way to work...

and he ended up in the ditch on the other side of the road heading back in the other direction...

he didn't roll it...

the car stayed upright...

he didn't have his seat belt on...

but he is fine...

the car is fine...

and the license plate bent back into shape fine...

blessed beyond measure...

that I still have him...

but I do need your prayers today for my family...

my cousin lost his daughter yesterday...

on Valentine's Day...

5 days before her 28th birthday...

I have no details at all except that...

her mom found her unresponsive Sunday night...

and that yesterday, my cousin, Bob and his wife had to make the decision to terminate her life...

its been 30 years since I have seen Bobby...

so I never met his baby girl...

but we have a group on facebook...

and we try to stay connected with it...

something my cousins and I can't do physically because we are scattered all over the US...

but I do know they are hurting...

and that this is going to be one of the hardest things they will have to face in their lives...

your prayers would help so much...

even with all of that going on...

knowing that God has a plan...

my family is still blessed beyond our wildest dreams...

and we are forever in His care...
