A Wednesday of Work.

  A Wednesday of Work.

 

Judie Brunson brought a head of cabbage yesterday, and it is making me think of cole slaw and even cabbage stew. Neither one sounds like work and just end up making good food. Just fed the dogs some leftovers that included Brussel sprouts and sweet corn. Who knew that the dogs would love Brussel sprouts??

 

Took Patty to the doctor today, and we both felt as if we had done a day’s work when we finally got home. Both of us are what a doctor would call “difficult” patients because we don’t exactly conform to all the requirements—no bone density tests, mammograms, pap smears, and other bodily function stuff. At a certain age, it just seems pretty useless. And some of us just have an attitude. Life is what it is right now and nothing is guaranteed.

 

Gregg and Vickie did a little work for me this afternoon. My house smells so good! She did the floors from one end of the house to the other—shifting dogs and dog beds one at a time! Gregg dug out a load of those stupid Western soapberry trees from the fence line. Now just have to wait until the leaves fall off and they can be pushed down into the trash bin a few at a time. Still need to do some work in the front flower bed, but it will have to wait until the old woman has more energy.

 

Have read some of the news and feel as if stupidity and hatefulness is running rampant. In England, young kids are hurting people (even killing) and animals with what they call catapults. We call those things sling shots, but our daddy would have skinned us alive for hitting an animal or anyone. Makes me wonder what the hey happened to personal responsibility.

 

Then there are the Muslims (not to mention the Houtis) who are killing any Christian and burning their homes and churches. Satan is doing a number of horrible things to make life miserable for so many in Africa. We need to pray for God’s help.

 

My young neighbors are in a tight situation at the moment. He is military and has to make mortgage payments and tuition payments. This is so very stupid that Congress can be paid but our soldiers are not! Argh!! Pork bills are ridiculous! Sigh. The senator from Louisiana (Kennedy) pretty well sums up the stupidity by saying that they have lost out on common sense.

 

Ok, let’s do what WE can do. Let us pray for those who do not know that they are loved. Let us provide words and care for those who are ill or who mourn. Let us beg our Father for the love that only He can give us to become more like Him.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
