Monday Musings And Another Birthday

 

This weekend was massive amounts of rain which meant it was very quiet. I'm half way through the book God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew. What a life he's lead for Jesus! Such an amazing story.

Then Sunday evening after supper we received an urgent text message from our dear niece in Jacksonville, Florida that her husband was in the Emergency Room with strange back pain that could "possibly be blood clots, kidney stones, gall bladder, pulmonary embolism, pleurisy or late stage flu." His blood pressure was really elevated too. We suited up with the armor of God's Holy Word and went into prayer warrior mode and called into action all the Church for prayer. I know God's got this. As I write this (late Sunday evening) we're still waiting for results but it "could be" pneumonia. Something called "multi focal pneumonia". Possibly also diabetic with a cardiac event. Golly. I'll probably know more by later today.

This is me as a newborn from 68 years ago! 🎈 πŸ₯³ I was 2 days old in the photo. It's true that time flies when you're having fun because it seems like I just graduated from High School and was heading out into the unknown. Today, Steve is taking me shopping, then he will be cooking me a special meal for supper. I would say he would also treat me with doing the dishes but he's been doing that since my finger boondoggle.

The finger, by the way, is doing extremely well! The stitches fell out last Friday. The brace has been off, except to sleep, since then. I'm doing the finger stretching exercises the Doc gave me at the last visit. Plus I'm back to typing with both hands again. Thank you Lord Jesus. Healing is rapid when off the sugar & carb's. That says a lot. I don't ever want to go back to being a sugar addict. 

I'll leave y'all with a giggle (or two) for the day. I hope your day is special, happy, and full of His grace too. 

I'm outta here. Let's roll!

  8. Happy Birthday, so sweet in your baby photo. the youngest of me is 3 months. I was born before cameras. ha ha... Prayers for your nephew and wow on you finger. it looks super great. you are a fast healer. I gave up sugar 7 years ago, but I don't heal quickly. I also am a sugar addict. as long as i never touch it, I will be fine.. eat one cookie eat the whole bag. with IBS i have to eat carbs, but I have kept my weight down for 7 years. and my sugar is alway good in labs.
