A little slower today...

Back to feeling good in the mornings and iffy in the afternoons, but that's okay. It really gives me a boost to know I have days like yesterday and even this morning to do some things around here so the load is not all on my family. But, by now, I'm just about done for the day...at least til after a nap! I have never quite felt fatigue like this before. It is a feeling that "I absolutely have to sit down now and rest." but that's okay. When I hear about what some other folks are going through, I am thankful that my side effects are relatively manageable.

Not much to share today. I've been listening alot to some old favorites, The Cathedrals, and my love for them comes directly from my dad. I think he knows every song they have ever done. I don't love Southern Gospel as a rule, but love a lot of this stuff! My first pick is their collection of hymns. The words below are from an old hymn and worth read. I aware of and thankful for His presence more than ever.

ABIDE WITH ME

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as You dwelt with Your disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,

But kind and good, with healing in Your wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
Come, friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

I need Your presence every passing hour.
Nothing but Your grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Yourself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.


Thankful thoughts:

• Body butter on dry skin.
• Lucky Charms...I know, weird.
• Harmony - just love great harmony.
• The snow flurries this morning - and watching them from INSIDE!  :)

Have a blessed day.
