Well, Ernesto has settled down & begun to act like a gentleman. He is no longer a hurricane, but a tropical depression. (Thank You Jesus!)
Cynthia should receive a good dose of rain—-they say that parts of central Florida have been in a drought????? It was pretty green when I was there in April & August???? I guess that their idea of a drought & our idea of a drought differ.
I love these Scriptures…. they are so comforting.
Psalm 94:10 He knows everything–doesn’t he also know what you are doing?
Psalm 139:1-6
O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.
You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
My baby has moved to Florida.
The whole state of Florida is in a state of emergency today. (gulp)
This is my first hurricane with a kid in Florida.
I’m praying & telling her to buy bottles of water.
Barry fell down Thursday. He was carrying some sheet metal & tripped. The metal he was carrying didn’t hurt him, but a wooden pallet on the floor did! He hit the pallet with his left hand & it ripped it open. It was a huge gaping wound!!!! uuggghh!
I won’t go into all of the details, but I am so thankful that it didn’t damage any of the tendons. He has not lost use of or sensation in the fingers. It was his LEFT hand! Thanks, Lord. If it had been his right hand it would have been so much worse. He is at work today. It has slowed down what he can do, but he’s working & overseeing what the shop guys are doing. Being self-employed, you do not have the luxury of being sick or injured.
I am so thankful! It could have been so much worse! We could be facing surgery, or disability…..(yes, it is an ugly wound.) The Lord is faithful….even if things had been worse. I would still say that the Lord is faithful!!!!
Well, Monday has rolled around again & it’s time to post my “I’m so thankful” list.
I’m so thankful for:

“The Day” has finally arrived! (I’m not going to cry.) “The Day” that I have looked forward to & dreaded for so many years is here……..
Tomorrow is “The Day“…………………..
Tomorrow is “The Day” I take my 18 year old to college. (gulp)
Tomorrow is “The Day” that I fly to Florida & leave part of me there.
Please pray for me….it’s like giving your heart away to a stranger.
As a child Christmas doesn’t come soon enough, a nap is half a lifetime & a school year is an eternity. As an adult, time is measured differently. Christmas is always just around the corner, a nap is never long enough & a year is but a moment. I wonder if time actually speeds up or if I just measure it differently. Honestly, it seems like time is speeding up. The older I get the quicker time passes. I find myself looking middle age in the eye, & it is staring back with an ugly glare! My children are old enough to survive without me. They are stretching their wings & preparing to fly. I’m old enough to be a grandmother now. wow!
I pray that I will redeem the time…. use this precious gift of time that the Father has given me. For I find that I am careening towards eternity. Gaining speed. Rushing Home!
