One More Plan.

 One More Plan.

 

Judie Brunson was kind enough to take me to see Dr. Kelly at North Texas Ophthalmology today. Yep, the right eye is ready for surgery now. He had me wait and talk to the surgeon while both he and the old woman were already there. If the insurance is approved, around the first to the middle of March, we will get this cataract removed. The surgery has changed considerably since the last time it was done on my left eye. But someone still has to drive me home. But then the next day, the old woman can do her own driving. Super! So, if things work out, one of the children won’t even have to come up for one day. That is encouraging.

 

On Monday Patty needs to go to the dentist office, so that will be my time to practice driving again. Other than being easily tired, it is pretty good to just be able to get up and get out. And let’s face it; the calendar says that each day adds up eventually to another year. Not fussing. Life is good and the blessings are plentiful. God has been extra generous in my life.

 

Sterling said that his “pattern” rocker disappeared, so he is having to make a new pattern for his “Goldilocks” rockers for little kids. Now he is making some benches to set outside a house or business. His first wife wanted one, and his sister said that one brought to Texas would find a good home down here. Ahem. SO glad that he has taken up this kind of wood working at this age. He and George laugh and say that it keeps them busy and off the streets. Can’t imagine what they would do ON the streets!!

 

About ready to put the old body to bed. Thinking about the list of those for whom prayers are needed tonight includes my sister-by-another-mother Sharon Dickerson. She goes to see her lung doctor tomorrow. She uses a C-Pap machine, but she thinks it might be better if she also had an oxygen machine to carry around with her because she gets so short of breath so easily. Have thought several times that some folks might do well with something like that. It is hard to know if we just need to train ourselves to take deeper breaths or if we just need to slow down and be still once in a while to breath. Being still is not something we think about all that often, but God tells us to do just that. Maybe it is our thoughts that we need to train for that kind of stillness. Each day has its “list” of things and people who need our prayers. Maybe that stillness is one of the big items to have on that list. Let us consider what joy there may be in being still enough to listen to God’s voice.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
