Another BEAUTIFUL Day!
Yesterday, Paul had his Dr appointment with the surgeon and the surgeon decided to hold off on doing anything. He felt as long as Paul can withstand the pain not to mess with it. They will do a more localized steroid shot as needed. :-)
On our way home from the Dr we stopped to pick up Kaylee from daycare so Christine didn't have to take Gracie out. Kaylee decided she wanted to stay overnight so we picked up her overnight bag and headed for home. The roads were covered with snow and ice because of the blowing snow. We saw a car in the ditch on the roof of the vehicle. Sheriff just arrived. So sad...
As we drove in our driveway my vehicle got stuck. The wind had blown our driveway shut while we were at the Dr appointment...
We tried to use the tractor but the road was icy so we both just spun out tires. We had to call for a toe truck to get us out...
We came home way tooo early... :-)
When I walked just a 1/3 of a mile up the driveway I was out of breath and exhausted by the time I got to the house. I felt like I could collapse... :-(
I continue to wake up with sores all over my face and I have swelling and pain.
Last night I had trouble walking around again. I continue to get the shooting pain up and down my right leg from the shingles.
Today we are going to venture over to Faribault to visit grandmas...
I am so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study
Love Beyond Compare
Read | 1 John 4:16-21
God’s love is an everlasting gift. We can do nothing either to deserve it or to cut it off. The Father’s love simply is; no amount of good or bad work causes it to change. What’s more, we must realize that when we try to pay someone back for a gift freely given, we frustrate the giver and reveal our own lack of self-worth.
As long as we feel we must deserve the Father’s love, we cannot fully experience it. Believers can be so busy trying to do something lovable that they fail to think about being still and simply allowing God’s nature to settle their mind and heart. And what is His nature? God is not simply loving; the Scriptures tell us that He is love (1 John 4:16).
In addition, God’s love is sacrificial—the kind that puts aside one’s own desires in order to meet the needs of the beloved. In our case, the need is salvation. We are sinners, incapable on our own of relating to a holy God. Divine justice required payment for our sin debt. And yet, to express His love while staying true to His justice, God determined that a substitute would pay the penalty in our place. And so He sent His Son to die on the cross; there, Jesus was allowed to endure the agony of separation from His Father. As a result, everyone who trusts in the Savior’s sacrifice never has to experience His pain.
God has loved you since before you were born—so much so that 2,000 years ago, He sent His Son Jesus to die in your place. Stop trying to earn the gift that is already yours. Instead, follow this command: “Cease striving and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10).
Looking forward to another great day...
