Burrrrrr…to brisk to go out today…although Aunt Sharon was brave enough to weather the cold to come for a visit. Mom and Aunt Sharon spent some time talking while I home schooled the boys. Then the two little ladies ventured downstairs to chat with me for a while. Thanks for coming to visit us today Aunt Sharon!
Mom was walking a tiny bit without the walker but the doctor told her not to do too much because that hip is so fragile, it can break at any time. She went through the rest of her stuff in the spare room, mostly clothes and pictures to sort through. Her spirits seem good.
Mom was telling me about Mrs. Heiress, the cook from Boulevard School. She knew mom loved orange juice so she would secretly call mom over for a glass while everyone else got milk. That is a nice memory mom has from her childhood.
Mom just finished up her liver and onions…I personally have never tried it. Now she is settling in her bed watching the catholic channel. I hope she sleeps better tonight. I pray for peace, peace like a river.
For the past 9 months I have made a commitment everyday to read Romans 12 along with our worship team for as long as God leads us. Those 21 verses have touched my life and my soul. I picked this scripture because it’s all about being a living sacrifice for God; dying to self so God can transform you. Pastor calls it saturation reflection. Where you take scripture and read it everyday for a year. It’s amazing to see God at work in our hearts. He has so much to teach us if we’re willing and obedient.
God’s word comes from Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.
Paul is pleading with us to see what God has done for us and because of His great mercy to give back our heart, mind and will over to God. Sometimes this means we have to swallow a big piece of humble pie. If you can’t grasp the concept of being humble, look to the cross. Jesus was the most humble and He should be our example.

Tara, I truly enjoy my visits to your house. The boys and Faith are so well mannered and a pleasure to be around, I love that little fisty robust dog! I keep forgetting his name spunky no oh well. The cooks at the Boulevard school were the best and our bus driver and maintence man gilly (gilbert) La Barge was the best. At the end of before he retired I must of been a freshman or sophmore in school he stopped the bus at the A&W and bought us a small ice-cream cone. Mary must have alot of good memories of that school, I know I sure do. Thank you once again for a great day. I bucked the wind going to Point and it buffed me on the right side going to Mosinee, what a bumpy wild trip home, but i made it back before dark. I love you All Have a nice day tomorrow. Aunt Sharon
