Check out QVC, they sell lots of beauty products and sometimes at great prices, or Sephora’s or Ulta. Or ask for credit card gift certificates and buy what you want. I’ll send ideas!! 🙂 xo

Well when someone is making me impatient rather than expressing that, I will breathe and be more patient with them. Then I would have just shared my patience with them rather than my impatience!
Thank you.

Maybe why I have always loved the verse in Hebrews 10:24 “and let us consider how we might spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

Oh see you just gave me goosebumps. That’s a wonderful verse to live by and to attain.
I have tried reading the Bible before but never could get through it. I started at the beginning, thinking that would be the best place to start but…so I am attempting it once again but this time I am randomly choosing what to read. My mother just had me read John, prior to that I had read Job and she said oh that’s a hard one try John. I was reading Psalms and now I’m in Sirach. Have you read the whole Bible?

I did it a few years back. Started at Genesis and ended at the maps in the back. It did give a whole perspective but it took me a long time. I would start with the New Testament as the old has lots of genealogy to wade through. I also love proverbs. I was fortunate to go to a Christian school. I wish I had appreciated it a lot more when I was there. I thing I would have absorbed more. Good thing it is never too late. And yes Job can be a tough one.

My mother went to a catholic school growing, we kids did not. Probably because she used to get in trouble with the nuns all the time, but then who didn’t, for talking too much. She tells of a story where the nun actually put her in a wastebasket and slid my mom, inside the wastebasket, under her (the nun’s) desk! I laugh every time I hear that story!! Yes proverbs intrigued me, I briefly scanned it but want to spend more time there. Thanks!

Another friend of mine who attended catholic school used to get put inside the closet when he was “bad”…he used to rearrange it while in there. But in a good way, he put things on the various shelves by sizes and made it more efficient. He would turn the light on and the nun would notice it and open the door. He finally figured that out and would take the nun’s shawl and put it on the floor between the door and floor to cover the opening and then turn on the light so that he could get to work!! 😉 Isn’t that funny?
Did you have to sit in the hallway often?? lol

I am grateful for a warrior’s patience. In battle sometimes the best strategy is to wait the enemy out. When they flail about on the floor and threaten to get you, simply stand by calmly and watch them flame out.

Actually it’s hard to be a good listener, I work at that because too often I jump in and speak before they are done expressing their thought…so that’s a really great gift to have. To always be there for your friends and family is another….that others know they always have you to depend on is so reassuring for them!! I am well thanks Miri, hope you are too. Hope your daughter is feeling better and that you are enjoying your son being home! Hugs back…xo 🙂
