My always-positive Mom!

I spoke to Mom on the phone today just before lunch. I try to talk to her at least every-other day. She said she thought that she and Dad were having a really good week! They were loving the fact that they have their home to themselves and that, for the most part, Dad can be pretty independent in the house. She said that many mornings she'll be in the kitchen getting ready for breakfast and he'll come "sneaking" in the kitchen already dressed! I think he could even shave himself, but he likes her to do it for him! She's always spoiled him, which is one of the reasons they've been married 64 years!! It's something for us all to make note of!!!

My nagging worked! Mom finally got another wrist emergency alert! She didn't like the one that hung around her neck because she accidentally pushed the button once and she was afraid of that happening again! She has one for herself and one for Dad. Now all we have to do is keep reminding her and Dad to actually wear them! I think they're wonderful and necessary. Mom agrees. She just forgets about them! I suggested she put them with their watches. When they put on their watch each morning, they can put the alert on the other wrist! We'll see if that works!!!!

As you know from my previous blog entry, I have been worried about Dad since I was there Tuesday. After today's phone call with Mom I realized that I was worrying rather than trusting my sweet Lord! We all have off days, and that's what I was experiencing with Dad. Were it not for the stroke, I wouldn't have been so concerned! So I put my trust back where it belongs..."Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation." Isaiah 12:2

Just had these few things to share! I'm reading the Book, 90 Minutes in Heaven" and need to get a few things done so I can get back to it! It's a fascinating true account of a man who was dead for 1.5 hours, went to Heaven, and was brought back to life through prayer! I can't wait to read about his interpretation of Gods plan for him!

I pray you, my dear friends and family, are all having a wonderful summer! "Go well and safely, the Lord is ever with you. " Amen!
