being Thankful


Be still and know that I'am God.Psalm46:10
That  was my verse this morning. I wanted to update on how I'am doing. I just got my new cadillac wheelchair and it has been such a blessing.I put in for it just a few weeks ago an got it already.Just in the nick of time.My legs are very wobbley now and I can only stand for a few minutes(short), my speech is sometimes audible but it is really bad. I have to eat soft food now and I did eat a hambuger from wendys an it was good.It took me a while to eat it. I have had some wonderful people come over to help and I'm so greatful. It is hard to ask people to do things for you.When they come I'am greatful for their kindness.I sit here everyday an my computer is my only outlet to the world and I hope that my blogs aren't too depressing.I do have days where  it isn't the best day,but one day at a time is what a wonderful young man told me.He is in a wheelchair too. What an inspiration he is. Today I feel very encouraged by the Word, the Lord is the God that heals and I choose o believe He will.  Just a momentreflecion on all that Im thankful for.Tomorow being turkey day.Its true yu have to look at what you have and not what your circumstances are. God has blessed us with a beautiful,warm home that overlooks the river.I couldn't ask for a better place.Gary keeps working and we are able to pay our bills. I would like my health to be better, but for now everything is good.My granchildren are fine and my kids are  fine,maybe a little stressed.Life is good,because God is in our lives. We don't have anything more we would need.  My heart rejoices in my God who provides  all we need. If I died today,I could say I have had a blessed life.
Father,   Thank you for all  you have done for me.You have given me a wonderful life and beautiful children and now granchildren.Wonder husband that is faithful to me, full of love for me. A family loves me and for that alone I'm more then greatful.You have blessed me all my life and I thank you. My God I give  my self to you
All My love  to you   Jennifer

God's creatures


Seen this deer outback in the water ...Gary captured this picture of this beautiful animal.I think he has chosen to live here it was the third time this week we have seen him.  Hope to see him again..there are eagles that have flown by as well.I hope to get a pic of one of them.
The neatest thing happened this morning after coming home from church, Gary was talking about how it pleased God to  bruise Jesus an just at that moment a white dove flew down in front of us and flew up again.I was astounded, I have never seen a dove in the wild before.It was by itself......It reminded me of how the dove descended on Jesus after He was baptised by John the baptist. I was greatly encouraged and felt like God was saying this is peace an hope I bring you.I have been asking for Him to give me something in scripture or something I can hold onto.  I'm always amazed of how God bends down to kiss an love His kids.He is a wonderful God and I will always praise Him for who He is.He saved me an that is enough for me.I want to be healed but if not I will still stand for Him.He deserves all my praise...nothing less.....
