Thank you for communicating with me today, the sun is shining and it is warming up praise God, I have done lots of things to make it better here, such as putting towelss under the doors, to keep the cold air out, of the living room, thank you for the word of God, God bless you very much
I use bubble wrap too up against the doors, and plastic sheeting with rugs on top to hold it all in place. It looks terrible, but hey, it would be really cold! I'm glad you have ideas going to help out. It is rough in this cold ~ and dangerous. Stay safe and I'm glad it is warming up! Love you and God bless you, brother!
Yes there is. The trees are not bare yet. You still have umber, amber, orange and reds, After looking at Tucson, where in winter everything is olive drab. That pointed leaves maples are so dainty. All we had were sugar maples and lots of ash and pine and oak in WI. In Tucson it is mesquite trees and palo verde which we lost and never cried. That thing would jump out at you and stick you while you mowed under it. Carpenter ants got to the roots and one year a wind storm came and it just fell over like a fake tree. NO ROOTS left. I have no idea what kept it up. But we were glad. We put in a tree that died the first year but the birds like to sit there and sing, so we leave it. We have thistle feeders in front and back. We get a lot more hummer action in the back in winter. They are so fun to watch. They are ruled by God and don't even know it. But I do believe animals have spirits. Not souls but something that is loved has a place for it to live. Peace is relative. Sometimes I wish I could turn off my thoughts. Mike said I think too much. I know it. I extrapolate data. If this is so, then this is thus, and then and then, and then..... Stop! Do not think anymore. It is more difficult to ask God to help me Father I broke my life, than to do what most kids do when they did something wrong. Cover it up. Pretend it did not happen. But as a child you have a life time to change. When you are old and "set in your ways". What does that even mean? I like a routine. But it is nice to go outside the box on occasion. Our trip to Flagstaff was only a lets do it. We made the reservation so it would be changed and we went. That is the last time I remember sleeping well and feeling good. I love you and I love and want to serve God. With all my heart. I keep reaching up and I keep falling down and then we start all over again. Sorry for the book again. I wish I could call you. But I don't give out my cell to anyone either. GBY love you Bev. I feel like I can confide in you as I used to with my own sister.
We are a lot alike! I start dwelling on things and have a hard time stepping back and seeing myself going on and on inside my head! Let's make a pact to jump out and scare ourselves into moving on! Maybe that would do it! I am not an impromptu person, either. I am not sure I could have made the trip to Flag like you did ~ and truth be told, you probably had a hard time doing it too ~ though I love that you had a great time and got some precious rest. Amen for that! That's interesting about the ants eating the tree roots. We have a neighborhood tree that just fell over, and it looked like it had no roots; it was the oddest thing! Maybe that is what happened to it. I don't like being stuck, either. I'm on day three of my winter briar project; that is, when I can put on my full armor and leather gloves to tackle those horrible things. I am convinced the devil created those somehow. Surely God would not have allow it! If He did, He has a purpose I haven't found yet! This is my fifth diligent year working on them, and I have just about had enough! I will be more aggressive this year! I am with you, I think we will see our beloved pets and God's creatures in heaven! why else would he have made them and ultimately saved them by having Noah build such a humongous ARK?! I am looking forward to heaven being my home, full of God's loving creations ~ and pets are definitely a loving creation. I am assuming the lions and tigers and bears will be gentled! Let's keep picking each other up and keep each other pointed towards our path of righteousness that God has placed before us! We will get there, stumbling or falling and being picked back up by our Savior. That finger in our back poking us to do better? That's God, too! Amen, Sis! We're on this Ark, waiting for the clouds to part instead of coming together. I envisioned just as the Angels called to the Shepherds to go find the newborn King, they will call us to see the King as He calls us homeward. Amen! Love you, sister, and God bless you and I pray you have a wonderful day today! Love you!
@@ATouchOfTheSun Bev you are my go to place to feel better. I know I have a husband. But I think he may be sick and tired of me being sick and tired. He does not want me to die. I know he feels useless when he cannot fix the problem. When the dryer goes down, Mike fixes it. When the car needs work Mike does it. We are getting new flooring installed next Monday. Sunday night or maybe Saturday I will be moving into the La Quinta suites for a week. Still on Wifi and will post. Not a vacay, but a refuge. What is going to happen in my home is a disaster in any home. I am upset about Mike having to move everything by himself. They would do it for an extra 2500 dollars. Mike does not want to pay for them to do it. I would. There are things they should not do anymore. But he is too stubborn to cheat. He will do it himself. With only Kristina to help him. She may be 100 pound dripping wet but she is all muscle. She is tough and old like me. LOL This one is undeniably mine. We still think they gave us the wrong baby with Jen. LOL Thank you. Our code word in CONTROL. When one of goes off. We stop and say it aloud, CONTROL. God is in control. I am in control. Whatever happens will happen if I worry or not. We need to be more reliant on God and less reliant on ourselves. Thank you God for giving me sister Bev. She is my solace. GBY love u. J
@@JJDigitalartStudio Oh my, we had to redo our house 7 years ago because of asbestos in the ceiling and flooring in the kitchen and under all the carpet. I will tell you it is like a before reno and after, as far as life references. It took a LOT out of us, so I know it will not be easy peasy by any means. We had junk people come and haul a lot of stuff out of the basement, then moved most of the stuff from the top to the bottom and storage people came to get a few things of furniture to put in a small unit. I made 146 trips up and down the stairs hauling stuff in one night before the asbestos people arrived. We had to move out, and then it was about a 7 month rebuild from electricity to plumbing, toilet, flooring, ceiling repair and paint throughout ~ make that pain throughout! Don't know how we did it, only with God's help and strength. My prayers are with you and Mike and I know this is a project he will never forget. I hope things go very easy, and lots of rest breaks are taken. I will be in prayer. There is not much you can do or feel like you should be doing. It would have been money WELL spent, when all is said and done. But Mike sounds about like my folks, and I know that is like trying to convince a brick wall to talk. I'm glad you have some help and hope Kristina doesn't overdo, either. May God be with you all. Yes, God is in control ~ or at least He shoudl be allowed to be! Love you and God bless you, sis!
@@ATouchOfTheSun Why we have a one story ranch house. I even have a ramp on the door sill to the ground outside. It is about 4 inches. That is hard to navigate on with a walker. So Mike got a ramp. We never lost it. It is something we put off now for the last 4 years. It has always been something. We want to make it so when we go to God, our daughter does not have to do this. Or worse some day it goes to Ellie and she has to gut the thing. I want it in move in shape. I hope. Control.control .....
