Leenova-Deb up-date. I just spoke with our Deb. She is having a hospice nurse come in once a week, right now. The nurse, pre-measures her med dosages for her,as it is hard for Deb to see how to. Deb has an appointment on the 11th for her eyes. She is still able to read cards and letters, if it is written larger than normal, and she puts it really close....For some 'miraculous' reason (thank You, our dear Lord for this), her pains in her legs have gone. She is in pain with her right arm today. She said it feels more like the muscle, than the bone.(She took some morphine while we were on the telephone.) I always tell her we can talk, as long or as little, as she wants to or not at all. I tell her she decides and it won't hurt my feelings, because I told her she's the one in pain and you know me, I could talk all day-lol- Her son always comes on Tuesday and he puts her garbage out at the curb for pick-up. Her neighbor brings it back for her, so thats a help. I forgot to ask if her brother made his weekly visit... She said she has recieved cards or letters, emails, from Cuties, that she wants everyone to know she would love to respond to each one, but truly is not able. I told her they were sent our of love and no one expects a response, we know she enjoys recieving them....... I went to the nursing home yesterday to visit my sister. I met her new room mate and really enjoyed visiting with them. Her name is Bonnie. She is 58 years old and has been bedridden for the last 7 years. She has a rare form of muscle disease, not MD or MS. She is a christian, but not always has been. She told me her story. She was 22 when diagnosed and Drs said she wouldn't live past her 30th b-day. (Drs must not know our God !) Husband left, only child a son died at the age of 18. She said she knows if she hadn't got this disease, she would have never found God. The life they led before didn't include HIM. She also knows after accepting Christ as her savior, she was and is, able to handle all the trials. What a witness and inspiration to others!.... I noticed a beautiful saying on the wall by her bed and thought it needs to be digitised. It would be lovely with a cross beside the saying or a large cross with the words over riding the cross. I can probally do the words with some letters I have in some fonts I saved, but I want it for a 5x7 hoop and I don't digitize, but I should have some crosses in some of my files. I have to keep Avery the next 2 days, emb some for the churches, so I don't know when I will have the time to do it. When I do, I will post it in Projects but I wouldn't be able to share the design, as the digitizing wouldn't really be mine. I just would be putting it all together. One day I would like to digitize, so I could give back something to all of you. It just doesn't seem to fit into His plans for me right now...Take care Cuties-Love-Toogie
I am very thankful for you!
Send my love to Deb and let her know I am still praying for her.
Isn't it wonderful the people God sends to come beside us to encourage us? You for Deb and your sister's roommate for her. Blessings for you Toogie.
You are a caring person. Thanks so much for being such a good example to the rest of us.
