The Very BEST Medicine

-
Modern Science has provided us with many
miracle drugs that help us get through
painful surgeries.
But our God has provided us with even more
miracles to help us get through those times.
I had three such little miracles today.
RX#: CWG
RX#:AMG
RX#:DSR

The smaller two little prescriptions crawl over to my chair, pull themselves
up and just smile at me. What a pick-me-up!

My older prescription read our favorite funny book together and then
his mom sent this text to me after they left to go home:

"It was so great to see Nana!
When I wasn't seeing her for all those days,
I was really worried about her but now I feel better.
I think I really did make Nana feel better. (long silence). Mom,
I think I'm filled with happy tears (as he wiped his eyes.)

Ooh, that made me tear up. Sweet Caleb! Those three are just the best therapy that the doctor could order. I"m glad you are in such good hands.

Keep resting and healing....

Love to you

So thankful that you were feeling up to their visit and look at that sweet smile on your face as you read with your grandson. Thank you God for the way you pour your love out on us, especially through sweet grandchildren. Hope you continue to feel better every day!

Karen, that picture of you reading to your grandson was really wonderful to see. Grandchildren can lift your spirits when no one else will do, I know. Barb

These last two posts brought "happy tears" to my eyes as well. Your beautiful perspective is amazing. Thank you for your transparency, and for sharing this little piece of your journey with those of us that are praying for you and your family.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
