    Ladies, a fellow BC sister has requested prayers as she waits for further news from a CT scan last week showing 3 lessions on her liver.  We all know what a stressful thing it can be to have to wait for answers.  PauldingMom's Onc is unavailable this week, so she will have to wait until next week some time.

    Please pray for her peace during this time.  Good results from the follow up would also be welcome, but in all things may His will be done.

    The Woman's Hymn

    Words: Fannie E. Heck, 1913.


    Come, women, wide proclaim
    Life through your Savior slain;
    Sing evermore.
    Christ, God's effulgence bright,
    Christ, who arose in might,
    Christ, who crowns you with light,
    Praise and adore.

    Come, clasping children's hands,
    Sisters from many lands,
    Teach to adore.
    For the sin sick and worn,
    The weak and overborne,
    All who in darkness mourn,
    Pray, work, yet more.

    Work with your courage high,
    Sing of the daybreak nigh,
    Your love outpour.
    Stars shall your brow adorn,
    Your heart leap with the morn,
    And, by His Love upborne,
    Hope and adore.

    Then when the garnered field
    Shall to our Master yield
    A bounteous store,
    Christ, hope of all the meek,
    Christ, whom all the earth shall seek,
    Christ your reward shall speak,
    Joy evermore.

    Thank you Meece. My hissy fit to the receptionist paid off and I will see someone today at 3:00. I have great faith that today I will find out what He has in store for me. What ever the results I am at that point now to hand it over. So with up lifted hands I am doing my best to give it all over to Him. 

    I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

    I know what it is to be in need, and I know what is to have plenty. 

    I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,

    whether well fed of hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

    I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength.

    God is Good.

    Faithie, I love your bright flowers.  When DH and I married 5 years ago, that is what I did for the decorations.  Any sort of bright flowers.

    Here is a picture of my bouquet and some of the table flowers, to be shared with those who need cheering.

    For the first ever, My Gardenia bush bloomed twice this year. I am taking this as a good sign.

    Meece's place sounds like Heaven on Earth....sigh....

    We had a 40' power boat years ago. I called it Haven on Earth. Almost no one read it right!

    Well, right now the babies are in what appears to be a swimming pool.  We are growing them up for our club.  I have to cull this weekend.  We are still digging our big pond, but our 1000 gal pond is full of my "babies"  Not baby fish, but my pets.

    The yard has a long way to go to be landscaped because the dirt from the pond hole is piled everywhere.  I have my greenhouse haven which is compete, and my patio is over flowing with my plants, and there are dozens of plants in containers lining the yard, waiting to be put in the ground.  And then there is the vegie garden which changes with every harvest.  It keeps me centered, caring for living things.

    I listened to a short bit of Chuck Swindol's message today, and he stated "God loves variety"  how true that is.

    Meece, when you say "cull" do you mean "kill"? Cry

    All of the above.

    It's so hard to say this, but some of them are missing fins, have very crooked backs, missing gill covers and such.  But Color and conformation are the biggies.  I will have to take a picture of the swarm of babies we have right now.
