"Have a strong mind and a soft heart."

That describes Mom to a "T"!!! She caught Dad's cold, or shall we say that it caught her?! She said she had been running away from it for days! Bless her heart, she has had a bad cough and stuffy head since the end of last week. She even spent one whole day in her recliner in her gown and robe...and, if you know Mom, you know that is NOT like her! Sunday morning when I called her, she said that she was feeling MUCH better, "at least I am telling myself that I am" and then she laughed out ould at herself! She had decided that she was tired of "laying" around and that she needed to get up and get some things done. So, she decided she was going to feel better! And, you know what? IT WORKED!!!

I wholeheartedly believe that Mom's strength comes through her prayers. She is a fine example of a Godly woman who lives through faith!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Amen!

Glenda is headed to Mom and Dad's today. Dad needs to go to get a blood test in Marble Falls, and Glenda will take him so Mom doesn't have to get out. Glenda lovingly fills their refrigerator with lots of healthy things from Whole Foods Market so Mom won't have to find things to cook this week!

I will get to see Mom on Thursday. She has a doctor's appointment in Austin and I make a point of going with her any time I can! She always schedules her appointments close to the noon hour so we can go to Luby's Cafeteria either before or after her appointment! Too bad there's not a Luby's close to her and Dad. She'd let them do most of the cooking!! Can't say that I blame her!

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.” Proverbs 18:22

Dad did very well!!! He's feeling much better also. Mom says he is not coughing much and thinks they are both on the verge of being well! Praise God for that!

Amen!
