new video-clothes, sermon tonight

We had a young preacher at our church tonight and he preached on them dry bones.  This young man was only 15 yrs old and he did a wonderful job preaching about dry spells, and dry bones. 

Last night while we were at sister in laws house she gave dh some clothes of her husbands, lots of clothes.  Now there was probably75 shirts and 15 suits,  and 30 pairs of pants, 3 windbreakers, and 10 sports jackets.She said she wanted my husband to have them.  So many things with tags still on them, never worn.  A brand new pair of boots, never worn, shoes and socks never worn and ties probably close to 70 ties.  some still folded and with tags.  So today I had to start washing them.  I trust her, she is a clean woman but dh is allergic to so many detergents and fabric softeners and so I have to wash them.  Tomorrow I have to start ironing.

I bought a new Leslie video today, it is called Leslie Sansone Walk at home-5mile FAT BURNING Walk
It is divided up into the five mile, and every few minutes it will have written on the bottom of the screen things like "boosted walk"  or Tummy tightener" things like that .  My other 5 mile walk is called 5-mile walk at home with Leslie Sansone  ADVANCED  .  I like them both Now I have been doing Leslie for many years and so in order to get my heart rate up I always carry 3 pound weights.  I like the way it is toning my arms.  While I do have the old lady flapping underarm, when I tighten my arm you can see a lot of devinition in the upper arms across the shoulders and in the area between my elbow and my wrist. 

I am not even going to talk about my eating for today. I will not give up, one of these days I will get it right.Tomorrow is another day.

Another day that I can love the Lord.  \\

One day as I was going about my day, dd and her son came to visit, it was not expected and when I saw them I got a burst of pure joy and happiness that they had come.   Grandson ran to me smiling saying grandma here Iam,  he was very happy, dd wrapped her arms around me and we just hugged because we were all glad to see each other.  I got to thinking I would love for everyone  to be that happy when I come near to them.  Perhaps not to that point but at least be happy that I am there.  I want them to greet me with real joy, 

A little self examination-do I act in a way that people would be glad to see me?  When I come into the prescence of the Lord is He glad to see me?   Do I treat others as nice as I want them to treat me?    The Lord said for us to love everyone,  it must be possible or the Lord would not have told us to do  it.  BUT there is some very unlovable people out there. Lord help me to see people as you do. -Help me Father to see the bitter and the angry as lost and lonely people -remind me Father to pray for them instead of finding fault. Amen.


Title: Faith

Author: John Oxenham

Lord, give me faith!--to live from day to day,
With tranquil heart to do my simple part,
And, with my hand in Thine, just go Thy way.
Lord, give me faith!--to trust, if not to know;
With quiet mind in all things Thee to find,
And, child-like, go where Thou wouldst have me go.
Lord, give me faith!--to leave it all to Thee,
The future is Thy gift, I would not lift
The vail Thy Love has hung 'twixt it and me.
