It is such a nice and cool morning. I did a lot of yard work before it started to get warm. Then I rested while enjoying all my colorful flowers. I ate a ripe plum while resting, after eating a sausage and toast sandwich early this morning. The plum was a mixed apricot and yellow plum. It was very good and juicy. It was big enough for my fruit supply today. I have work to do inside, but I would rather be outside. The cool breeze is too inviting. It is when I am sitting out on the patio that I dream wonderful dreams. Rick tells me it is too calm and peaceful out there to come back into the house. I do agree, except my art studio is inside. I am busy at it every day. Also we do not like fast-food orders, so I have to do some cooking. Then every once-in-awhile I have to run the sweeper and change the sheets. Just can’t make some things disappear. I do enjoy my home also. I’m so thankful that I can still maintain it. I have no desire to ever leave it and move into an easier way of life. I learned to work at a young age, and I’ve enjoyed it every since. I like the results of what I see after my hands have been busy for a long time. A few pains are good for the up-keep of the body. A winner never thinks about the pain till the game is over. Then it is too exciting to hold it in your lap while you rock away to pity land. I could not do what I do without a lot of rest, maybe more than when I was young, but I always long to get back to work. Whether it’s hard labor, or back-breaking fun games, I have room for them all. It takes both to give the body and mind a balance in life. I am anxious to take a trip with a friend after she heals from a severe neck surgery. She, like myself, have big plans for the future. We both have worked hard all our lives, and we both like to, “live it up,” pretty often. Another of God’s blessings that He so graciously gives those who love and trust Him. We both are needing a get-away, to reorganize our minds. God has given both of us miracles, and we plan to keep on living a good life, while helping others in some way to have a good one also. I believe those who boast of all the good things they do are like the Gentiles who prayed in the streets so everyone could see them. Jesus condemned them, and He will do the same to those who desire attention today. The most God-given commandants for us today are still the original 10. If we will keep those ten, and live by them daily, I believe our bodies will be miraculously healed, and with healing comes happiness. I feel safe in saying that I doubt but a few people can quote the 10 commandants today. How can we live by them if we don’t know them, not part, but all of them? An assignment you should give yourself today is to memorize those laws God gave Moses to give to the people. Exodus 20. They may be taken down from our public places where they have been hanging forever, but they cannot be taken from our minds if we memorize them.
God Bless
