I'm just starting to feel better. That bug really knocked me down!
Thanks so much for all the get well wishes. It's wonderful to have such great friends!
Hopefully, I'll be able to show some stitching next week.
My sister has been having some medical issues that, as yet, have not been figured out. She is having alot of pain and undergone so many tests already. She will be having a colonoscopy and endoscopy the end of March. It was also discovered that she has fibroids that will require a hysterectomy in a few weeks. However, the fibroids are not what is causing the pain, so the pain must be dealt with first.
We believe in the power of prayer and if you could keep my sister in your thoughts and prayers, it would mean so much.
My sister shared this with me and I liked it so much I wanted to share it with you as well.
Shirley & Marcy
A mother was
concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his
mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some
independence but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea
of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to
school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice
her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be
a good way for them to get some exercise as well,
so she agreed.
The next school
day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he
walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole
week.
As the two kids
walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the
same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally
she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'
Timmy nonchalantly
replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?'
'That's just
Shirley Goodnest, 'Timmy replied,
'and her daughter Marcy.'
'Shirley Goodnest?
Who is she and why is she following us?
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me
say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in
the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days
of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face
shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift His countenance upon
you, and give you peace.
May Shirley
Goodnest and Marcy be with you
today and always.
I know you smiled!
I sure did.
Pass this on and brighten someone's day!
Please pray that Shirley Goodnest & Marcy go with
everyone you love!!!
