Thankful Thursday

Today's verses were:

Isaiah 50:4
4) The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.

Isaiah 55:2-3
2) Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.
3) Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.

John 19:30
30) When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Matthew 27:50-51
50) And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51) At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split.

I am just a plain Jane, an every day type of person. I will never met the Pope or the President. Heck I doubt if I will even meet the Mayor of Menomonie. But I CAN talk to God any time I want to. And if I am really quiet and pay attention he speaks to me all the time. I don't need to meet anyone famous. I just need God!

 Day Four

A Lazy Day is a Joy. As long as they do not happen often! It has been years since I have been able to work but I still try to keep busy on the Internet. My favorite past times are helping people, visiting friends online and doing my blogs. There are some days when I do not feel well enough to do this.... But then there are days when I just goof off! This is one of the fun goof off days!

And I am blogging as it makes me happy... on lazy days too!

 I have this and really enjoy it so thought I would share :-)

Off to enjoy some more of my lazy day!

Love,

Patty & Peanut

Wonderful Wednesday!

Today's verses were:

Psalm 23:4
4) Even though I walk through *the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Footnotes:
*Or the valley of the shadow of death

Matthew 7:1-2
(Judging Others)
1)“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2) For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Proverbs 29:25
25) Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

This week God has been telling me over and over to trust. To not worry about what others think. To just take care of my actions and thoughts. Trust is very hard for me as everyone I have known has let me down at one time or another. That is human nature. I am sure I have let them down as well. Sometimes it almost crushes your heart when it happens. 

I truly believe I trust God. I am sure I am just in the baby step range though. I need to practice this so I can go out for God's track team and win the long jump!

Day Three

Walking is a joy! Being able to walk around in my apartment is a joy. Sounds so very simple doesn't it? But I have been so sick that I have had to use my transport chair to get around. It is like a wheel chair but has four tiny wheels instead. No Fun! You drag yourself around using your feet and legs.

But I am using my e-cigarettes instead of regular ones and each day I can feel my lungs getting clearer and clearer. Praise God! I still use my chair when I am cooking. I sit in it and rest and Peanut and I discuss cooking tips or what ever crosses our mind :-) Well I discuss things... she just says it is time to eat usually!

Vroom Vroom!
(Does Not Handle Corners Well LOL!)

I have a bad habit of getting stuck in my mail box or on facebook. I have cut down on both and that has left me a little time to go wandering on the Internet. I mean why have it and not use it?

Last night I was searching for a widget for my page and discovered the perfect one from a perfect site :-) Well.... I guess I should say it was just what I was looking for at the time. I  am not sure if it is perfect or not. But it fit!

The widget is to the right and the web site is:

The graphic will take you there or if you see a post that you would like to look into further just click on the widget. 

Last night I also linked the blogs that were listed in my group and I hope to at least visit a few a day. You learn so much as one person sees it their way and someone else sees it their way and at least one of them will click with you!

An update on the bacon in the crock pot? It was fantastic! I am not sure how long you would cook regular bacon but I cooked the ends and pieces about 4 hours, stirring once an hour so it did not stick together. The meat was very tender. Now I have it all ready to freeze into portions for cooking!

I sincerely hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Love,
