GETTING BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS

DEAR BLOGING FRIENDS
well it's been a long month, I'm still having a few problems eating a few things, as you read on sisters post right after surgery I went to take care of my mom who fell right at the time dad had to be admitted to the hospital with double pneumonia, after all that settled down I landed right back into the ER, I still have problems with my hernia as we were at the eye DR the other day when it acted up & had to stop everything & be brought home, hopefully I'll be back in full swing with everything in the upcoming week, thanks for all the prayers & may God richely bless each & everyone of you

(1)The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, (2)he maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters,(3)he restoreth my soul, he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake,(4) yea though I walk through the valley of the show of death, I will fear no evil for thou are with me, thy rod & thy staff they comfort me(5)thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies thou anointed my head with oil, my cup runneth over(6)surely goodness & mercy shall follow me all the days of my life & I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever


before surgery we gave our pastors daughter a baby shower,I have watched her grow from a beautiful young woman to a beautiful mother to be, guess you could say I'm the decorating coordinator among other things as I wear many hats LOL,I'd like to share how I set up her buffet, they laugh at me at church because when I'm setting up buffets I'm in my element LOL

I found this purple & violet wreathe at walmart & instantly I saw it sound surounding the punch bowl, I am now on the lookout for one for Christmas LOL

I even high/lowed her gifts LOL



once again thanks for stopping by today & have a glorious blessed day!

HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL

Thanks for all the sweet concerns, & the prayers it's been a rough week but getting better, had a longer stay than expected, after surgery when the were pulling the tube out they said I coughed at the wrong time which caused pulmonary edema which is rare in every 200 which landed me in ICU for a few days, my blood pressure kept dropping, my breathing kept getting too shadow for them , high temps, almost set up pneumonia,among other things, I am so thankful there is a God that watches over me when I am not able to reach out for help, a one day simple surgery turned out to be a 4 day night mare, they wanted to keep me an extra 2 days but let me go home if I promised to drink a lot of fluids but I tell ya , it's hard to do as they also fixed a hernia & repaired it while they were in there, 2 sips & I'm full which is not good,lol something as simple as eating jello wears me down but I'm a lot better than where I was 4 days ago




it's so good to be back in my comfort zone

GOES SO WELL WITH MY BLUE WILLOW

Blue Monday takes on a whole new meaning when you visit Sally over at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ , no you wont be feeling blue but blue happy! LOL so be sure to drop by & see all the wonderful things where you will find blue is an attitude not a feeling LOL

PINK SAT.

Pink Sat. has rolled around again, where does the time go LOL, seems like I'm running in circles getting things done around here before surgery, not sure why seeing I wont be here LOL LOL, we have lots of new pinkies participating , be sure to drop in & say hello, you'll find their links toward the bottom of the list over at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ where Beverly host's this wonderful pink event called Pink Sat. even if you think you're not a pink fan , if you look hard enough it'll surprise you at all the pink that surrounds you, so take a look around & share those pinks!







This is one of my favorite things in my office, when I first saw it I fell in love with it, as it is so true "GOD DID NOT CALL ME TO BE SUCCESSFUL, HE CALLED ME TO BE FAITHFUL" we all strive to make money in our business, we get all excited if we make back the booth rent & then some at shows, lol but if we put God first & trust in him them he will take care of the successful part

Wishing everyone a wonderful Pink Saturday, keep an eye out for that pink fairy for she'll zap everything around you pink before you realize it LOL

Do you remember that old classic "OH I WANT TO SEE HIM"

http://hymnal.calvarybaptistsv.org/94.html

Oh, I Want to See HimWords and Music by R.H. Cornelius

1 John 3:2"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

As I journey thro' the land, singing as I go,

Pointing souls to Calvary - to the crimson flow,

Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;

But my Lord leads me on, thro' Him I must win.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice

,Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,

But I'll cling more close to Him,

He will give me light;

Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my tho'ts aside;

But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,

Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When in valleys low I look tow'rd the mountain height,

And behold my Savior there,

leading in the fight,

With a tender hand outstretched tow'rd the valley low,

Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,

Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When before me billows rise form the mighty deep,

Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,

And He leads me gently on thru' this world below;

He's a real Friend to me, O I love Him so.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,

Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

coming up in Oct, there is a music conference in Chattanooga Tenn, my pastors wife, musicians & myself went last year & every year it just gets better, I'm praying that the gallbladder surgery will not hold me back this year
