Too Long
Well, hello everyone………….
I have been gone too long. I am doing great from my by-pass surgery. I have now lost 78 lbs., feeling great, looking so much better, getting new clothes, and I would say Life Is Good !!!!
We [my husband Jack & I] have done 2 Lay Witness Missions and doing one at Hermitage, Tennessee on the 25th of this month. The theme is “Pass It On”.
News about one of the past missions:
It was at McMinnville, TN and I do a meeting with the women on Saturday afternoon and so my presentation was on the new little book that Max Lucado has recently put out about “God Thinks You Are Wonderful”. I had purchased many of the gift items he has available and had a gift bag for each lady [around 40] and talked about my own experience and how I know now that God does think I am wonderful.
It was such a blessing to do and to see the results of that meeting. On the one coming up, I am doing the box of love gift and have made one for each lady, but this is a large church and this has been a challenge. I will probably have 200 women on Saturday and it has taken a lot of effort to get all these gifts made. I am still working on them, but such joy to give.
When God said, “it is more blessed to give than to receive”, he certainly knew what he was talking about. Why would I ever doubt that? lol
Well, take care and I will be back soon, hopefully not as long as this last stretch. Oh yes, I am finishing up the last afghan to send to Shelley at This Electric Life on Share A Square.
Making some bags for my quilt blocks that I am working on and finishing up some crocheted afghans that I am also working on.
Don’t want any moss growing under my feet ……… lol
Bye for now………….

Loosing the weight is not hard but to do it in a control way is the toughest thing.

Even when we know it’s better to give than receive, but it is still hard to do after all. I really struggling hard to beat myself and learn how to give others, even the annoying ones, cause I love my God!
