THURSDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOSAND ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE

Good Morning.
.
As you know we are leaving for the Vandebilt hospital this morning, we will be back home tonight. I am a little rushed so I am not going to say very much.

To The Older Ones among us.

You may be growing older
And your steps a mite bit slow;
You may not move as fast as once
But, Oh, God loves you so.

You may think that you’re not needed
That your work down here is through;
But, my beloved oldster
God has a plan for you.

Your white hair shows the wisdom
You’ve gathered through the years;
Your presence stands for victories
Proved you’ve conquered many fears.

Your sweetness shows that Christ dwells within
His love in you abides;
As these virtues flow out from you
You’re blessing other lives.

Oh, don’t ever be discouraged
If others must wait on you;
You’ve done your share of service
Just let His light shine through.
..
So rejoice and live for Jesus
And to others His kindness show;
You’re still wanted and still needed
You’re God’s messenger, you know.

I think that the poem above is good, I am glad that I see it in you. Dad

Good Morning. .

I think that this is Tuesday morning, I will have to look at the calender or ask Prince, he is with me again this morning, a very faithful boy.

I have the same old excuse every morning, I don't have anything to say and I know that you get tired of hearing that. I think that your answer to me would be. "If you would have worked yesterday instead of relaxing and taking naps all day that you might of had a lot too say". Well those naps were very good. DAD.

Be The Best Of Whatever You Are

If you can't be a pine on the top of a hill Be a scrub in the valley, but be the best little scrub on the side of the hill Be a bush if you can't be a tree,If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass And some highway happier make.If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass,But the liveliest bass in the lake.We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,There's something for all of us here.There's big work to do and there's lesser work, too,And the thing we must do is the near If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail.If you can't be the sun, be a star.It isn't by size that you win or you fail.Be the best of whatever you are.

I was real tired at bedtime last night, it was an exhausting day, but after a night of rest I do feel better, I don't feel like that I could whip a wild cat, but I think that I could handle Prince, And you may not believe this but it is true he is here watching the keyboard as I write, and the clock says 3;10 A.M. He is about as crazy as Dad, don't you think.

'Tis Sweet To Trust Him

,,
My Lord is ever with me
Along life's busy way:
I trust in Him completely
For guidance day by day

He's with me when I waken
To start the day anew;
I whisper, "Lord , I love Thee;
I pray Thee keep me true."

He 's with me through the morning
To help me with my task
My heart turns ever upward
and forthe strength to ask.

All day I feel His presence
We have communion sweet;
He bids me bring my burdens
And lay them at his feet.

When, kneeling at my bedside,
My heart is full of praise,
I thank Him for His goodness
And love that fill my days

At night I am not fearful;
I'm trusting in His care,
Secure, whatever happens,
I know He still is there.

'Tis sweet to trust Him fully,
And on His grace rely;
He gives me joy forever__
A home beyond the sky!

This is what my tomato garden looked like a few years ago, I wish that I could be doing that now but I don't think so, these 97 years have caught up with me. But I have no regrets, I have enjoyed those years and now feel the need to sit and dream about the past.

Would you like to make a guess as to what this is in the picture above , it is a rug made from Llama fiber.

Laura says ,"we have custom made rugs for sale out of llama fiber. Folks interested could e-mail me at Hikingmd@aol.com if they would like more info. "

Today..11/04/10
A few morning showers. High 15C. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
Chance of a shower or two during the morning, followed by partly cloudy skies this afternoon. High 59F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

FIRST THINGS FIRST.

No time, no time for study.

to meditate and pray--

And yet much time for ''doing"

In a fleshly, worldly way

No time for things eternal

But much for things of earth

The things important set aside

For things of little worth

Some things, it's true are needful

But first things must come first;

And what displaces God's own Word

Of God it shall be cursed.

By M.E.H

I am going to stop here for the day unless something interesting happens.

I am planning to come back Friday morning if my life is spared'

Think good thoughts today, no gossip it is harmful, good thoughts edify.

" Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest"

True words of Jesus
