This last week has been a whirlwind of activity! Bill and I drove Noel to emergency twice. One time we went to South Heart Hospital, and the other to North Heart Hospital. Noel's pacemaker was tweeked and he was give new medication. His heart is still doing its own thing in spite of two surgeries. We have to trust God that He knows what He is doing!
The elections were enough to give anyone a heart attack! Our nation is already feeling the effects. The dow dropped 400 points, and many people are being layed off. Surprise! Surprise! Obama is getting his way. He courted the uneducated, the lazy, and the bleeding hearts who have no knowledge of finance, and how it works. Socialists will have their way if all the rich can be drained of their businesses and the government can take over. The problem is that the hand that feeds the poor will have no more to give. I predicted Obama would win after observing the masses of people who want to be dependent, the moral decline of our nation, and the obsession with pleasure rather than the satisfaction of a job well done. God will judge our nation!!! He will not be mocked! I will most likely suffer with the nation, but I have God to walk me through the hard times. He will give me peace and happiness in spite of those around me. Perhaps, some will have their eyes opened.
This past week I gave5 piano lessons. I also graded homework for the "Christian Worldview" class online. It fascinates me to read their responses to the questions asked by the University curriculum. Everytime we teach this class there is at least one atheist in the group. Most of the students have their heads and hearts on straight. The majority of our students this session are in the nursing school and have great insight. You can feel them connecting science with the mysteries of God. I tell them about my favorite doctor -Dr. Anderson. She is a born again Christian and a great physician who gives God credit for all she does. I've seen her cry over patients! (And, she's thin and beautiful!)
Last Tuesday, I spent the morning at St. Anthony Hospital. Every week is different! I walked into a room where a young woman lay dying from cancer. She was in great pain. I put my hand on her arm and began to sing, "Jesus Loves Me". Within minutes she was asleep. I never cease to be amazed how God can work and bring peace. I prayed for her silently and crept out of the room.
I left the hospital a little early to meet Bill at Paul's Steak House. Our bank was having an appreciation lunch. When we left, they gave us a fluffy beige throw. It was really nice since we didn't get much interest on our investments this year.
Yesterday, Bill and I worked until noon and then took a drive to Turner Falls. It was wonderful! The temperature was unusually warm and there were few people in the park. We stopped at our favorite Fried Pie restaurant and brought some blackberry pies home. I had never heard of them until we moved to Oklahoma.
This week was Sofia's 8th birthday. She is growing up to be beautiful, smart, and loving. She helps the teacher at school by helping the student who has been mainstreamed into the class. Sofia understands that God made everyone special and she must love those around her regardless of looks, intellect or physical ability. I am very proud to have Sofia as my granddaughter!
