I got my blog inspiration today from
Patty at Reasons for Chocolate.
Her post was uplifting
with a promise and a rainbow.
1. Today I am reading the newest
novel by Doretha Benton Frank,
Porch Lights.
Her novels are set in the Low Country
of South Carolina.
They are filled with romance, humor
and a little mystery.
2. I am praying for my children.
I pray daily that God will build a
hedge of protection around them,
my sister's family,
and my brother's family.
My daughter Christy and her husband Troy
have decided that now is the time
to proceed with IVF.
There seems to always
be some sort of delay for them, so
today I ask you to pray specifically
for perfect timing.
Thank you for your prayers already!
3. Today I am listening to
Charles Billingsly LIVE album
from Thomas Road Baptist Church.

Praise and Worship is my heartsong.
4. Around the house I am doing no
cleaning or decluttering.
As usual, I'm just adding a little
of this and little of that.

5. I am thankful for so many things.
My son was appointed to run a new clinic
at St. Thomas Heart at Midtown
in Nashville, TN.
His work is to assist with diagnosis
and treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
Chad has such a giving heart.
The wife of one of his patients who was upset
about her husband's diagnosis
said, "Thank you for being so kind."
Chad told her,
"You know how some people are called to
be preachers or missionaries? I feel that
God called me to help sick people."
My daddy had the same diagnosis
and Chad was his granddaddy's heart.
He said that one day a man came in
who looked very much like his granddaddy,
had all the same medical conditions,
and who had lost his wife recently.
He said, "I started to cry and I had to turn away."
I said to him,
"Don't turn away."
As the saying goes,
"People don't care how much you know.
They want to know how much you care."
I adore my family.
They are my joy and my delight.
6. The Thing I Fear the Most
is that I will miss God's calling for my life.
In 1987, he called me to "teach women."
I am still waiting for open doors.
Share who you are!
I'd like to hear:)

What a handsome son..as you know..my son had open heart surgery when he was 6 & recently diagosned with TachyCardio (whatever-fast heartbeat)--anyways..yes..it takes a special person to be a dr or nurse.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your daughter and sil. Will continue to keep them in prayer.
Thank you for your honest, uplifting and sometimes funny posts & lovely pictures..they sure make my day. Blessings to you..
Thanks for sharing who you are today. God's timing is always perfect. Never late. Always on His time.
ReplyDeletePrayers for Christy and Troy. I lived in Nashville for three years and am familiar with St. Thomas. I am sure your son will be doing so much good. Take good care!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, when I think of Low Country, I don't think of romance. I only think of mold, sweating and bugs. *lol* I love the western part of South Carolina where it's hilly. Beautiful riding roads too.
ReplyDeleteYour son does look darling. That's great that he wants to pursue a medical career. I hope there will still be medical people after this Administration.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed it. ~:)
Congrats to you son. We will be praying for Christy. Sending love to you.
