Greetings! Life keeps on being interesting, certainly not boring. Wish I didn't have brain fog! Actually there are a lot of things I wished I didn't have. Funny, not too many things that I wish I had. Hmmmm!
Wish one of the kids would call my husband. I know we are in church most of the day. We don't come home between services because of the cost of gasoline. There's always the cell phone.
What I did have is today. We have a small group of children that also hang out at the church all day. Wow! Actually it provides a safe place for them. I used to do a lot a praise and worship with flags, dance and mime, but went down to doing none of it; now working back up. For starters I took my inhaler before both services. Had some afib while singing and playing the piano - it makes me short of breath. I'm not willing to quit. Cut down, but not stop. After lunch I asked the children and young people if they wanted a CD on so they could use the flags and ribbons. They were really excited. The songs in the being were very upbeat, and I enjoyed praising the Lord with them, and moving around quite a bit. Occasionally taking a small breather. Told them to keep going. We got to some slower ones, and then I remembered the mime (semi-mime- sorta - I don't know how to do any of this stuff - I just do it).
The words were very powerful and the children caught on very quickly. I stand at the back so they can see what to do. By doing movements to the words, the meaning of the songs get down inside them, and help them with life's problems. Our pastor (the Mrs. - in our church both husband and wife are ordained - She joined in. I'm also giving her piano lessons. None of these kids have much and 2 of the families are looking at homelessness in the immediate future. But we all had today. They worshipped and ministered with the song in the meeting, and those in attendance (at least half are homeless or are in half-way houses). It went really well, and you could tell the children felt good about themselves.
My husband told me he didn't want to hear anything tomorrow - that's why today is today - today the hip hurts a little - I can still move - today my heart pretty much behaved - took awhile to get the heart rate down - and today I felt good inside and so did a lot of other people.
When I find the words printed out for the song, I will put them on. Remember, brain fog.
(Chorus) All that I am, all I can be, All that I ave, all that is me, Accept and use, Lord, as you would choose, Lord, right now, today. Take ev'ry passion, ev'ry skill, Take all my dreams and bend them to your will. My all I give, Lord, for youI'll live, Lord, come what may.
vs 1 Often I come with my problems and cares, running to you when distressed. But I must bring you the whole of my life. Lord, I must give you my best.

Life has no purpose unless it is yours, Life without you has no goal. All that fulfills me is doing your will, knowing that you're in control. The song is copyrighted, but if you cannot find it, I will let you know individually where you can locate it.

So today I bring myself, with all its imperfections, all the pain, all the illnesses, warts and all - here they are -sarcoid, heart, hip and everything else - I know I'm complete in Him. God bless and strengthen you all.

Can't wait to talk to the grandson - he arrived back safely from Australia and is now at camp, working.
