gr8 point cane




This afternoon was one of those times that I am gr8ful for. I met an 80-something year old lady that walked with a 4 point cane that amazed me.....
My mom knew of a lady in the community that needed help. Mom, being the type of person that will do something about it, persisted on getting me. Bad attitude was happening. I was hesitant to help today. The plan was to lawn mow this ladies big 2 lot yard, that a very small house sits on. We tracked down a mower, it all worked out. today was the best day to do it......so we start and this lady gets off her cane and wants to help. She starts showing me she could do it too, and takes it over for a bit. I let her for a minute. my experience with canes...etc is that dependency can be confining (unless its on God) also challenges and grace CAN let us do things that we didn't think we could do. No one thought we could.
wha...her body can't keep up with her "heart". She had such a drive to get involved, with everything we were doing for her. But physically things don't look so good.
Thank God for the opporunity to meet such a person. The facade wasn't there, just actions that speak louder than words. I wasn't able to communicate very well, but it didn't matter. she liked to smile.
She had a garden with one daffodil flower in it.


Is serving contagious? I'm convinced it is.

3 isn't free


3 years ago today, my life radically changed . Its confusing to look at the “horizon” now. 3 years of letting anger get me through stuff, does things. Now I see how destructive it is. Numbs feeling, but actually it does more damage. Never realized it, but It can be a drug for the person that doesn’t do drugs when taken to this extent.
tack that on to my brain surgery of a cerebelum that had an anuerism and the side effects i already had - cant walk, barley speak, little cognitive response, no control of eyes, little coordination (so re-learn everything even swallowing- sucks when you have insatiable thirst), very sensitive to light, noise, stimulus, tunnel vision, no perception of periphreal vision, easily distracted, insatiable thirst, very impulsive, alot of disability all around, dont know what happened or why im there because i remember a different life, was out for a month when all the bad stuff happened/impaired cognition. anger was such a good friend but God is much gr8er. Prayer does miracles.
So after 3years, I’m deciding to make this a real effort:
-not “ride” anger into or out of a situation. Or put it under the surface.
-see blessing in all this
-not hold onto stuff. Get it out before it turns into a big monster that eats everything. Being dependant on God is a gr8 thing. People are gr8 and are worth putting “chips” in. God gives more “chips” so its all good. Trust is probably the most intense game there is.
-let Gods peace guard my heart and mind (Philippians 4:7) and not bitterness.
- not wait until tomorrow, or be impulsive.
-no stinking thinking
-trust
-it could be worse, it could have stayed that way. there could be no hope or no joy.
-build something on the lot i've been given.
-down more slupeez
P.S. define person? not a fan of the dictionary definition. It's too general. - a human being 09or the personality of a human being

I like how the Bible defines people. made in Gods image (Genesis 1:26). Crave life (Ecclesiastes 3:11 ), full of sin (Romans 3:23) but so loved! (Romans 8:39)


April 10th is a weird day for me.
