Is anyone else having a challenge of doing things scriptural, verses what the secular world says. As in scripture says to put others before me whereas the secular world says put me first. I know what is right, just wondering if others may struggle with this. And how do we mourn the loss of ourselves without sinking into depression? How do we have joy in the midst of our trials and tribulations? It seems that as time passes my patience doesn't hurt as much, (must be experience), but still everyday I start wearing down where my patience begins to hurt a little and I am struggling not to let it be seen. I spend a lot of time in prayer and in the word, that is the only way I have the strength to do this, putting myself aside. But as a faulty human being, I am still in a struggle and seek like minded individuals who understand. May God bless all those who are loving their loved ones to the best of their ability.
They do so much damage all over so quick.
Mother fell,broke her neck and our lives changed forever in the blink of an eye and just a half of an inch and I'd have lost Mother 9 and a half years before I did.
So No Falls Everyone!
How awful! I can’t imagine breaking my neck.
Llama, hope your eyes are okay.
That's great and great she wanted to and could then.It's a shame she fell and broke her femur.
Cords are real fall hazards I know,because one day,I went flying over Mom's oxygen and the fan cord right in front of the Hospice bather.
One other time I fell over a cat lid on the floor too and hit the chopblock in the kitchen when my brother pretended to shove a dead mouse at me and I'm still paying for that one with my right shoulder.
Yeah,falls are evil so is my brother sometimes~
The weekend went by way too fast.
Got my grocery order in for DH and Mom to pick up tomorrow. I love online grocery shopping, soooo convenient and love that DH and Mom can go pick it up while I am at work.
Just steamed mopped the floors I love that steam mop. I am a pretty boring person. :)
Congrats to all the Chief fans. Dh use to be a Chiefs fan, but we havent watched tv in many years now, let alone sports.
I wish you all a wonderful week.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
I love mine too. My Shark eats up the dirty floors.🙂
I love that thing, I am so glad you all mentioned it, I don't know how I ever lived without one, :) It is great.
I will never go back to a mop and bucket! That is a lot more work and floors aren’t as clean.
I never understood the swiffer thing. You have to keep buying pads and detergent. Steam mops you wash pad and no detergent
Welcome. Continue to pray. Prayers help. It’s hard being an only child and feeling like you’re alone. It’s hard being a child with siblings like many of us have that we do not have a good relationship with. God knows I tried to have a good relationship with my siblings but it’s impossible in certain circumstances and we have to put it behind us.
It’s interesting to me that only children want siblings to have someone. People with rotten siblings would prefer to be only children to avoid the conflicts. No situation will ever be perfect.
Those with siblings that care for each other are truly blessed.
We are here though and you can vent to us anytime!
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:4
Matthew 11:29
I have missed you all. I have been so tired lately, haven't much felt like writing. Just thought I would stop by and share some.
My job is going well, I am getting use to the new routine. Mom and DH and Ab have done much better with the new routine than I have. They are doing well, thank the Lord.
So, my oldest sister has been talking with Mom now at first through text and now phone calls, for a few months now, I am so happy she is trying to have a relationship.
My Moms sister has moved to live with her daughter. Mom hasn't seen this sister in about 30 years. So my oldest sister told my Mom that she was going to go visit Moms family and she asked mom if she wanted to go. At first I was upset about this. I mean for the last 5 years I have been the sole player in my parents life and now oldest sister gets to play the hero. That is how I felt at first, But Mom has the opportunity to see her older Brother as well that she hasn't seen in almost 20 years and some friends of hers where we use to live. So this will be a wonderful adventure for Mom. So I got over myself and am trying to be happy for Mom and joyful with her as she is super excited. I still do not like this, but Mom is in the Lord's hands and I know HE will take care of her as HE has her whole life. He is in charge whether Mom is right next to me or whether she is thousands of miles away.
It will be for 10 days. So yeah.....sigh..... I will be glad when she gets back home safely.
This will be the first time in 5 years DH and I have been alone. Well AB will still be around. But not so much in the house with us except at meal time. So this is going to feel SO awkward. I know that probably sound silly. But we have not been alone in 5 years.
Well Anyway I love you all and hope you all are doing well. Take care of yourselves and know that you are Loved!
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Psalms 112:1
1 John 4:18
He said Gracie died. :( (Gracie was my dog, the greatest dog ever, and I loved her dearly, she was a great comfort and joy to me). I wondered what happened, because just last night she was so happy and playful and no sign of anything wrong. She has not been sick or had any health problems. So I just could not believe it.
He said when he got around this morning and was putting wood in the stove, he saw that she just didn't move. And well she was gone. He took care of her and buried her next to one of her puppies.
But this is crazy, she wasn't sick, wasn't hurt and just gone. I cried for quite a while and still am having moments, I just cannot believe it. I have never been so attached to a dog as I have been to her. She was super smart and would have made a great search dog, She loved playing that game of searching for things. I tried to each night with her.
But anyway, My Gracie is gone. I am a little saddened by this.
But what can I complain about, my family is all well and I am still here. So I am grateful to God for all HIS blessings.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet.
May God grant you grieving mercies and comfort during this difficult time.
Praise The Lord that she had joy right up to her last day, what a blessing that I wish we could all receive.
Great Big Warm Hug!
I am so sorry about Gracie. She had a good home with you! It’s so hard to lose an animal. They truly are part of our family. I was devastated when my last dog died. He was the sweetest dog in the world. I rescued him from the track (greyhound) but he rescued me in some ways too.
Greys are an extremely old breed. Cleopatra had a greyhound. They are the only breed mentioned in the Bible. Great dogs! All dogs are wonderful! You will miss your pooch. I think we will be reunited with them in the afterlife. They are God’s creatures.
An unexplained death is also hard on you.
It was actually kind of your husband to try to spare you. I hope that is comforting to you, and that he understands how you would cope if he took care of everything.
You are much more gracious than I would be able to be in those circumstances. What a shock to lose her that way. So sorry.
