@faith20 oh it was certainly a Praise God moment!!
First solo drive today 🙂
I'm taking Jo to work today, so I'll be on my own, doing my thing, for the very first time
I think it helped that, yesterday, I received a phone call from the hospital anti-coagulation unit, checking on how I was doing at 3 weeks since starting the blood thinners, and to see if I had any concerns etc
I got the same advice from that sweet lady, once again - it'll be in your mind, but don't let is still you just getting on with your life
Folks, don't underestimate the power of a text, email, phone call to check up on someone...even of you're laid to do it!
That call gave me a very much needed boost to push myself even harder towards recovery 🙂
Oh yeah. Theady who called asked me if the there was any intention of "them doing something about sorting out the underlying heart issue?"
Mad me chuckle...I sure hope so!! Was my reply
Just need to move house first

Cooked on my own for the family last night...well Nathan chopped the veg to save me having that risk - but felt good, and my legs had enough to stand for a long time
I've tried it a couple of times but always had to abandon the kitchen so somebody else could cook as I couldn't stand up long enough without my legs getting wobbly
So, another step towards recovery ticked off
AND I went for my first brisk walk since October
I've discovered 2 things.
My meds cocktail makes me get much hotter than before when exercising.
And it takes a lot of effort to make my heart beat faster...I carried bags, up a hill, walking fast - and only got up to 102 BPM (so the heart beat slowing beta blockers are doing their thing!)
Covid seems a long way back now, as does the lung infection. My trip to hospital doesn't seem far enough behind me, yet!
But I AM getting there!

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
— Psalm 150:1-2
Oh Praise Him today! Our Father God through whom we are redeemed in His Son!

“You are the light of the world!” (Matthew 5:14)
We often fail to appreciate how significant this statement is. Jesus calls His followers “the Light of the world.”
What chance does the world have to come out of darkness and into light without the Church? None.
Or as Paul questioned:
“How will they hear without a preacher?”
Answer: They won’t.
If the Church isn’t in revival, the world is descending into hell.
What a good day it is to be filled with the Holy Spirt! Our sanctification is the world’s salvation.
Lord, renew in us today, a steadfast and willing Spirit. By Your power, let us fulfill our calling to be the light of the world today. In Jesus’ name.

“So don’t worry away with your...
“What will we eat?”
“What will we drink?”
“What will we wear?”
“Don’t worry about tomorrow.”
(Matthew 6:31-34)
Are there any commandments as straightforward as these that we so regularly flaunt?
Jesus offers us rest.
Thank you, Jesus. I receive Your rest.

@MaryMamuzich ok... fair enough
Yes not so much fun when it tastes like that
@Cherishingsparrows2020 working for the Lord is never in vain
Always encouraging to have some some encouragement though!
Perseverance is one thing I rarely have in short supply. When I do slip, my family bolsts me along a bit more 🙂
@tanjaostman @sinbach there's truth...then there's THE truth

This confirms what you have been saying about Facebook @sinbach https://youtu.be/cCOvFLlsjI4
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @bethany @sinbach
I think God has a sense of humour 'cos I hear a lot of laughter when I pray around the plans I've come up with
and I do, then, wonder if it helps relieve God's stress, too, when I try and help Him out with His plans, but in my own way?
[obviously God doesn't get stressed....just sayin that here.....
🤣 ]
bizarre and interesting!
I'm not into stats of how many views we get, posts that have been read etc. But while we're not overly bothered if nobody ever watches anything we create, I still find it interesting, none the less, especially when it makes no sense to me!
So, our YouTube statistics came in yesterday, and the thing that threw me is that the busiest month for our videos to be watched was during November, when we didn't actually put anything out...
also, the top video we have for viewings, from all time, is one of our Song Time Videos that Jo did
"The Animals Came in two by two"
Like I said, I found it both interesting and bizarre
And it is encouraging that people have views nearly 3.500 minutes of our videos over the past year om YouTube...'cos it is nice to know that people actually are watching something of what we're producing...and 'cos you do wonder about that , even if your goal is creation and obedience to God, not human success!

@Berrybunchfamily @bethany @sinbach Amen, amen. It is so true! It is a tactic of warfare against God's Kingdom. Keep on advancing, soldiers of God! There is so much to be done and your mission is important!
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @bethany @sinbach I'm encouraged and challenged tthatscripture doesn't commanded us to like each other, but to love each other
I get sad when I see the worst of inflicted pain having it's source inside the church, not outside it
@sinbach wow! erm..........
and "If I had to guess, you clicked on this story because you’re over filling in your eyebrows every damn day. "
actually, i'm here because Eugene posted about it on DingDash and I was curious what hellish scheme they've now come up with for women to endure pain to look a certain way
@tanjaostman there's always hope 🙂
@tanjaostman seems legit - i've accidentally read this enough times to be happy it is true (as happy as you can be about anything online at least)
