Life before 2008 24 Oct 2006 03:11 pm
Filled with peace…
that’s how I feel right now.
I’ve had a lot of thoughts today:
what causes people to lift ideas so high that all they can see is the idea…and forget there is a real, feeling person on the other side?
what causes so much shortsitedness ( metaphorically speaking) that one would rush a situation, putting undo pressure on others, in search of a nice, tidy, controlled package?
prayer is an amazing thing. I haven’t been able to personally pray for quite some time now, but others have stood there for me and have prayed on my behalf. I can feel it. You lifted my burden today; you know who you are.
PPO’s are great things. Imagine that I can just pick who I want to see and make an appointment? Who knew? No referralls!
big boys can still be snuggly. big girls can be comic relief. little boys are adorable riding bikes. and babies are kissable goodness.
it’s always good to have chocolate in the house.

Thanks for testifying about the peace you feel. It blessed me to hear about it.
I’m so glad to hear things got handled with the insurance quickly and you’ve got an appointment.
You’ve been on my mind all day. I’ll keep praying.
Love ya.
Sandy

Thinking of you, offering little prayers when I think of you.

Thanks for posting your reflections.
On ability to pray: we can always pray “Lord, help.” It’s hard, too, but there’s no excuse we have for not doing it. That said, I often don’t pray and get myself into terrible messes when a two-word prayer would clear everything up and give me my vision back (I know it always does for me — often I still have problems, but I regain hope).
I agree, thanks be to God for stronger people who pray when we don’t! Now to the goal of becoming one of those people.
Forgive me, a sinner.
