Brother in law is back in ICU, sister had 24 hour virus and could not go to see him yesterday but she told my mom and brother that she was having so much trouble getting a baby sitter. I have offered over and over again, she is the one that kept asking everyone to watch her granddaughter. All this week she has put the little girl here I did not have a problem with it . I love children and I have a lot of patience with children. And I play with them and teach them through play and I read to them and help them cook cookies ack ack ack Why would she say that she was having trouble getting someone to keep the little girl. ---with her it is always drama always something always trying to say things that will make her look good and make others feel sorry for her. I know that is the way she is and it still hurts for her to do it.
My grandson went home last evening, I sure miss him when he is not here. He is not just a grandchild that I babysit for my daghter, he is an important part of my heart and my life.
I had baked leftover chicken this morning for breakfast with a little bit of spicy ranch dressing as a dip, one cup of steamed broccoli and a sliced cucumber. My husband stares at me a-lol I can eat breakfast for supper so why not supper for breakfast? I am having some problems with emotional cravings and yearnings.
I WISH I LIVED ON AN ISLAND no phone no neighbors and only my computer -oh and husband and children and grand children------oh never mind pretty soon I would have everyone around me there too. :)
BIBLE VERSES TO LIFT AND ENCOURAGE (me)
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8 (AMP)

Thank you for these Scriptures. I needed to read them badly. Grief overwhelms. Deb
ReplyDeleteJust focus on loving your sister, Joy. Some people aren't going to change, all we can do is pray for them and pity them for doing what they do and relate to them. You've been a big help to her with babysitting the granddaughter, she knows that, and I know you'll be there for her further.
ReplyDeleteInteresting breakfast! Sounds good, though, and...low carb! I said last night I'd have eggs for breakfast this morning, but I had oatmeal. I need a little piece of your brain! :D
Love ya and God bless!
