TODAY HAS PASSED!
(and oh what a day)
TO START WITH, I HAVE TO MENTION THAT NATHAN'S TEAM WON AGAIN TONIGHT..
20/0
MAKES THEM 4/2
WAY TO GO BOYS.. HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING
YOUR GAME!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
(sorry I wasn't there, but I stayed at Mom's while
Granddad went for the two of us)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW AS FOR MOM,
THEY SAY SHE'S AS GOOD AS SHE'LL BE!
SHE HAS MORE DOWN TIME (SLEEPING) THAN
I PERSONALLY EXPECTED. SUNDAY THEY SAID SHE
SLEPT 32 HOURS STRAIGHT! WOW!
SOMETIMES SHE SEEMS LIKE MOM.. AND THEN OTHER
TIMES YOU JUST AREN'T SURE.. FROM TIME TO TIME
YOU KNOW SHE'S IN THERE BUT SHE'S JUST NOT MOM..
"GOD BLESS AND COMFORT HER PLEASE AND THANK YOU"
She told me again tonight that she'll be glad when it's over..
Then she squeezed my hand and said,
"Honey, I'll miss all of you,
"Honey, I'll miss all of you,
but I'll be really glad to have this all done and over with."
God bless! (for everyone, it's to say the least sad, yet bitter sweet)
She still is determined that she saw, visited with and talked to Dad
on Sunday. And she is still convinced that He is the only person she
saw all day on Sunday! (there were over 60 people there)
And she's so joyful when she tells it..
And tonight she told me that she was filled with the Holy Spirit
last night when she was reading from the 10th chapter of Luke!
How precious! Thank You God for her, "Your will be done!"

JOHN AND JENNA ARE WITH MOM TONIGHT..
GOD BLESS EACH OF THEM AND GRANT THEM
PEACE AND COMFORT PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

TODAY HAS PASSED
Whatever it held of good or evil is now woven into the inevitable pattern of life.
I cannot recall one unkind word, nor retrace one foolish step.
The tapestry is woven. I might look at the pattern and regret the threads
The tapestry is woven. I might look at the pattern and regret the threads
of selfishness, the ravelings of hate, but I cannot remove them,for they
are now a lasting part that holds together the weavings of today.
I may search for a thread of human kindness, may look for a touch of love
I may search for a thread of human kindness, may look for a touch of love
and beauty to give color to my drab design, but if I did not weave them in my
gleanings of today,I cannot add them. Today has passed. But if tomorrow comes,
it will offer me a clean and empty loom,and fresh strands of hope and faith.
Perhaps then I can weave a lovelier pattern, with less of the
Perhaps then I can weave a lovelier pattern, with less of the
gray of care and the purple of pain,and more of the gold of truth,
and the blue of trust, and the shimmering white of faith and purity.
Perchance I can throw open my mental blinds so that there may be
Perchance I can throw open my mental blinds so that there may be
reflected upon my loom more of the sunshine of cheer and the hope of
optimism.Perchance I can focus upon the beautiful instead of the ugly.
I will not be mortgaged to the past.Today is no more.
I will not be mortgaged to the past.Today is no more.
