Thank you for my gifts

We were talking at Church about  someone who has a gift for music. Not me!

Today I’m grateful for  my gifts.

Laughter and sharing the message of laughter.

Leadership

Organization

Time management

Delegation and support

Empathy and sympathy

Blessed are the peacemakers

Thank you for all my talents! May I be humble as I use them.

 

Up early

I need to take my daughter to work as she is without a car so I don’t dare fall back to sleep.

Cleaning my grateful brain.

Thank you that I found my prescription I thought was lost.

Thanks for Megan and Nicole’s support when it was lost.

Grateful for hubby’s patience when  we decide to go out to eat.

His hot roast beef sandwich looked good.

I love potato soup but had chicken noodle. Thumbs up!

Cabbage roll Yummy!

Eating off the Senior menu.

Our waitress Amber was very attentive.

Try Lyla’s on Bailey road. Lots of choices,lots of food. Nice all around!

Change my ways

This week I will be more patient. Forgive me my snappish ways.

Sew my lips shut so that I do not gossip or complain.

I will make good food choices. Purify my diet. Hello fruits and veggies.

Thank you the new Cornerstone. Good prices. Blueberries 4 for $5.

Did you see the moon this weekend? I love celestial events like Mars being so brilliant. Let me illuminate my world.

Greeting the lost sheep at Church.Need to read the sermon though because I think part was directed at me.

Busy days in every way. Let me set a course to get me to where I need to go.

1. God
2. Honeysuckle
3. The man and his dog who found Peabody and led him back to me after he’d wandered. When I described the other dog to Cassie, she said they know each other. He was covered in mud too, so he must have gone in the river.
4. A clapper
5. Compliments for colleagues
6. Keeping the conversation going

How can I keep from singing?

I’m sure I’ve used this title because I love that song. But my hearts bursts today so I must sing.

Grateful for Audrey born last night. Grandchild of a  friend of mine.The miracle of technology we watched Kim’s progress as the day went on.

Barb is the friend. Director of the choir I sing in now.She is patient and incredibly strong.

The song we will sing.” Oh every morn when the sun comes up I bring  to the Lord my morning praise.”

Always want to sing last refrain first “I bring to the Lord my evening thanks” because I start my day with thanks.

There are only six of us in the choir. Range of voices. Different abilities.

Grateful I can sing. My time in the larger choir is over because of hearing problems so this little group is perfect.

Thank you for Agape choir!
