Eisenhower

wow...this reminds me of my childhood...a friend sent this to me, and it makes me smile and feel good.


You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

-Abraham Lincoln

Lord, Help me to: help the poor, strengthen the weak, bring about prosperity, lift, further brotherhood, build character and courage,and be helpful to others.

Patient care

Is very difficult....for me.
I love my patient..
I want to make it all better.
But Bob is the one who usually handles all this type of thing...
and he's not thinking straight.
He does not like to follow the rules and I do.
This makes things very tense for me.

SO I could use some prayer for his pain to ease...
so I am at ease....

Jordan's Grandma Day

Jordan's turn....
we went ot the library...then Grandpa's new work...to try out his stuff....
He took us to lunch, then back to Grandma's for books, lacing cards (soccer balls) and a little tv time...until Grandpa comes home to play ball!

Happy 1 year Anniversary Joel & Stephanie

il cucina

As promised....The Kitchen...
taken at Christmas time a few years ago- I love the warm glow of the old fashion lights...it makes it so cozy in the evening...
Bob remodeled when we moved in ...
later he built the island and the pantry for me, as well as sinking the frig into a closet....isnt he great? I just love that man!
Ps I am hoping to get a new wood floor this year.

The secret in the garden...

As a gardener...I spend alot of time in mine..walking, observing what has grown... weeding, planning...and praying....so I decided to put prophetic prompts without the grounds...words to inspire my prayers and to remind me..."come, walk with me"
