New Every Morning~May 8

[Al Moak]

Paul the apostle said something I think we should keep in mind.  He said, "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'"  We're going to be radically changed ourselves, but so is this creation.  I do know for sure that God's people are going to be happier than can now be imagined.  Personally, I think there may indeed be mountains, ocean, grass, etc. there - and we will be employed caring for it all - successfully and without fatigue.

  grass, etc. there - and we will be employed caring for it all.

It is a wonder if Ms Etta Sue will get a Big New mower to sit on and to ride in the Heaven.  

I hope Ms Janet will not need to get the tumbleweeds job.

Hey, I can pick the dandilions.  

Thanks all for your answers. They really helped.

[Jane Walker]

Whooeeee!       I was really mistaken about the plumbing problem being the same as last time  

The man came about noon and didn't leave until almost 4 o'clock!  He's not finished yet, either!  He says the pipe broke loose again, but not in the same place.  'This time it's between the floor and the subflooring and really difficult to get to.  He had to tear up the flooring in the back bedroom and worked for a long time.  One thing really good about this is that he stopped the clock at 2 1/2 hours because, he said "you're such a nice person."    He says he has a big job at a local car dealer's that will take 2 or 3 days and he will just charge the time onto that job...he says "They can afford it, and you can't."  I thought that was nice.  I am glad that I have already filed a claim for the class action suit on the polybutelene pipe.  This plumber says the pipe under my house is all really bad and will continue to go out regularly until it is completely replaced.  I would much rather have this place completely repiped "for free" instead of paying the big $$$ every couple of weeks.  

MIEKA~, I always manage to see the funny side of things ... no matter what.  As you say, it won't help to get upset about it anyway.    I'm sorry you had a sad day remembering your brother.  I'd give you a hug myself if you were closer...  {{{HUG}}}

The plumber said he'd be back with a piece of plywood to put over the hole in the floor where he was working on the pipe but it's past quiting time for him so he will most likely be back in the morning.  Hope he comes early enough because I have an appointment for a mammogram at 11 a.m.  

Joyce~ Hi ... It's good to see you posting again.  I trust everything is going well for you and yours.

I'll be back later ... if I can make it ... but, until then, I'll just say "see ya later!"  

[Etta Sue]

I read all your posts.  Sorry, Jane, about your broken pipes.  But you really found a great plumber to stop the clock at 2½ hours.

I will be praying that your back will not need surgery.  I read somewhere where 90% of the back surgeries were NOT needed.  Don't ask me where I read that, though.

Marilyn, isn't that the truth.  When you are sitting doing nothing somewhere you can think of a dozen or more things to do at home.  But when we get home....do we do them....NO!

Now, sweet Mieka.  I love you giggling at anything that is said.  What I meant when I said Ivalou has big mower was that it is a new mower so it doesn't ride rough or drive rough.  I am giggling now just thinking of what I said.  Sometimes you just have to read between the lines to understand what is being said...  Mieka, it is okay to be sad when someone leaves this world.  But won't it be a great reunion when we all go to heaven and see loved ones that left us while we were still on earth?

Heaven......scripture tells us that heaven will be far more greater than our minds could possibly comprehend.  I think about the wonders that God created for our eyes to give us pleasure here on earth.  And, like Karma said...he created earth in a week and has had over 2000 years to improve upon heaven.  Besides, I will gladly give up anything and everything here on earth to live for eternity with God and his Son.

I had a great time at lunch with Ivalou's church group.  Jerry and I got the yard mowed and I sprayed some Round Up under and around some trees and along the drive.  He has went home to get caught up on the pc before bedtime.  

Gotta go.

[mieka]

Ms Etta Sue: Jerry and I got the yard mowed

Haha haha ha ha   it is just too funny.

[Marilyn]

Good News. My moving date is July 12. The place will be vacated on July 1st and the landlord has some work to do on it and It will be ready for me by the 12th. The rent will be $500. per month with and $850 deposit. So Come July I am OUT OF HERE AND ON TO MY NEW LIFE UP NORTH. PRAISE THE LORD!!
Papa John I do pray you will not have to have back surgery. That this problem with your back will be healed in the name of Jesus. But if you do have tohave surgery the Lord will be weith you the whole time and everything will be just fine.

[Jeanne Lee]

You folks go ahead with mowing the grass and fighting the tumbleweeds - I'll sit back and smell the roses!  

We went to see my mother today and took her new phone with the flashing lights.  I hope she understood when I explained how it works.  I had a chance to talk with the administrator, too, while we were there.  I think it's very important they know we haven't just "dumped" Mom and are ignoring her so I make sure it's undrstood that we just can't make very frequent visits, but do call regularly to talk to her.  

[mieka]

Oh I need to share this, I hope it is ok. It is a climber story.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=8&u=/ap/20030509/ap_on_re_us/climber_amputation_7

These are not pleasant experiences but our text says that we have been called to eternal glory after we have suffered a while.

The suffering is temporary; the glory is eternal.

I find this as a great story for the "National Day Of Prayer"


Ms Jeanne, It is a wonder if the rose will still have a thorn in Heaven?  

Ms Marilyn: I am excite for you, I know you are happy.  

Ms Jane: I hope your house is fix soon.

and I still have a worry for ms Pat   does anyone know if she is ok?  

[Etta Sue]

Mieka ~ I, too, am wondering about Pat.  She may be busy and can't get to the computer.  But then, she said she was fluish.  Let's pray for Pat that God will take care of her whatever her reason for being away from CP.  

[JudyB]

Jane Boy do I relate to water problems.  We are on a dug well and have a fairly low water table.    I am a city girl and have had to adjust to the well.  This spring we have had the water line freeze up twice and the septic back up needing to be pumped once.  It has been a zoo!    I can relate and I am praying that things are sorted out soon.

I am seeing answers to prayer in so many areas of our family.  Isn't it wonderful when you can see God answer?  It is wonderful all the time to know he always answers even if it is with "wait".

A book I am thinking of is by Andrew Murray and I think the title is Waiting on God.  Waiting is hard for us because we want to "fix it" ourselves and to wait means not trying to fix it.  I am a fixer.

Have a good evening folks and I'll see you tomorrow eh?

Judy

[Janet]

Mieka, I don't think there will be any tumbleweeds in heaven!  I believe those are part of the curse because of Adam's sin-----thistles, thorns (even on roses?) and stickers........

The wind blew really bad here again today, but at least we didn't get tornadoes like they got in the central and eastern part of Kansas and Oklahoma City.  This seems to be a really bad year for tornadoes!

I'm thinking of calling Pat-------I pray that "fluish" feeling she had is gone by now.  If I get hold of her, I will come back and give you a report.

Marilyn, glad your plans are working out for the move!

Papa John, I hope they will be able to relieve your back pain without surgery.  I think back surgery should always be a last resort.  Beth surely isn't recovering well from hers.  She was in a lot of pain today.

[karmat]

Hello.  Sorry about the plumbing problems.

Still no  Pat, huh?  Have any of hte fellow Guelphians had contact with her??

I'm off to read the other forums.

[Janet]

SPECIAL REPORT! I just called Pat on the phone, and she is feeling lots better, but now her computer is sick!  Or else it is the cable, but anyway, she cannot get online.  She said to give everyone her love and tell you all that she misses you.  She will be back as soon as her computer allows; and she has a call in for someone to fix or check it for her.

Jane, I hope those plumbing problems are sorted out soon, there is nothing as inconvenient or frustrating or messy as plumbing problems!  Yuck.

Hi, Karma!  Hi, Sonja!  Hi, Etta Sue!  Hi, Jerry!  Hi, Al!....Hi to all of you............

[karmat]

shew.

good news.

[Janet]

I have been entrusted with the key, so I'm locking up for the night and opening the new thread for the 9th.  Good night, everyone!
