Get Your House in Order: Rest

"Greater love has no one than this:to lay down one's life for one's friends."
John 15:13

August 2012 Smith Lake

Happy Valentine's Day! I LOVE my report on Mom tonight..she was able to use fifty percent oxygen all day instead of one hundred percent, woo hoo! She wanted me to call and let her know how the activities went today..basketball tournament and  the horse show. I talked to her on the way home from Hartselle and she sounded even stronger than yesterday.  The doctor told me this morning that she was progressing. I know it is going to be a slow process, but she's getting there. The Lord is healing her!

Dad/Papa knocked on the door about 6:00 to bring a valentine. He gives me one every year. I love that he puts so much thought into his cards, he always has. He normally does not like to be at home without Mom there. He has done okay this go round since she's been in hospital and I couldn't get him to stay longer than a cup of coffee...smile. 

It was a beautiful day for a horse show. Abby placed first and second and I am very proud of her! And Luke played his tournament game in basketball, Jeff said he had a great game. So, lots of love here at the Moore household sent to you. Luke and I are elbow to elbow with our computers on the couch (how sweet,haha), Abby is asleep and Jeff is next to us on his, Boston is in my chair and Harley looks like a human laying on the couch. I think it is time to rest.

The picture tonight of Mom and the kids was taken at the Lake, on a short trip, before school started back in 2012. The kids loved riding Gigi around on the golf cart. Abby was just learning to drive it then and I was sitting in the front to monitor the driving while Mom sat on the back with Luke. Okay, well the second day, I let Mom sit up front. After one hill I about died thinking I had let her sit back there, (so hard to hang on, poor thing) with her bad back, going up all those steep hills!! She never complained. And she really has not complained this week either, and she has had some very steep hills! I pray that she gets to just sit up front and enjoy the ride now, breathing easier and gaining total restoration of her lungs! "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

Day#45 Focus on letting your mind rest

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

“He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully.” Luke 4:10 A few weeks ago I was reminded that September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month (Leukemia and Lymphoma) and encouraged me to use my blog to help raise awareness. I am always willing to give a voice to those fighting and winning against cancer. To me cancer never wins. I will never understand the painful process or the impact and loss it causes but I rest in knowing that...ONE DAY there will be no more cancer. Period. You know how sometimes you read a blog or a book about someone's life and you are just blown away with their story? You connect with so many parts of their lives and you gain insight and inspiration immediately. As was the case with the story, art and website of Patience Brewster , you must take a look for yourself at their page! Patience Brewster reached out to me about writing about a post, after reading some of my cancer stories on Blessings, Suzanne. Patience designs Christmas

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

Image
"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,  To see Your power and glory. Psalm 63:2 I read these two verses to Luke this morning, he was the first one up, besides me. It was a great opportunity to tell him how I read the  reference verses that go along with the verses each day. We looked up the verses and read them as well. He thought that was cool (his words). We had a brief moment of discussion and then he moved on. We don't normally get that morning time together...what a blessing! Have a wonderful Sunday!
