Our nurse prayed over Jim that his doctors would find a resolution to the other problems. To receive that kind of blessing, without a second thought on her part - the Lord spoke to her heat and she listened. She said the Lord heals and blesses all who ask. Her touch, was healing, brought tears to our eyes - we were all blessed. Be a blessing by surprising others in need with your prayers. Take their hands; pray for them. It stops the pain or hurt, it sets people back on their heels - they are blessed. Jesus touched people with his hands. It was a blessing. It also puts them in touch with the truth -what is truly real. He is the lover of our souls. Whether the person chooses to know more or not, their hearts and lives are changed. It is a mind bending, heart changing gift. It lifts the heaviness from any and all situations. We never know when those words could be drawn from at another moment. A touch, a hug, a smile. These things change our world....as well as theirs.
I found a blouse, purchased by the one and only owner - circa1970. I feel so young wearing this tunic/embroidery shirt. I am 17 again.

where is the blouse...I thought you would take a picture for us! and you should go on YouTube wearing your new old blouse and sing those songs!
Thanks for sharing the awesome news about Jim....and for the great advice on praying over others!
So thankful for Jim's good results! Thank you, GOD! What a blessing. Now I, too, really was looking forward to seeing you in your peasant blouse. What memories those songs bring back! That was definitely a blast from our past. I actually enjoy getting the senior discount :) I am such a cheapskate that I practically hug the cashier when they give it to me !! Love your zinnas and sophie
First, I LOVE the kitty picture! Second, how cool that the nurse would pray over Jim without "worrying" about political correctness, bla bla bla! Thanks for not giving us graphic details nor pictures of Jim's colonoscopy.
Continued blessings to you both!! And your critters too :)
