Hi to all of you today, Diana, it is always Spring where I am, our winters are the Spring here and it get really hot in the summer time. I only wear summer clothing because it hardly ever gets cold here.
Not much going on with me today, just hanging here all alone at home, just me and the cat.
The new injections my doctor gave me in my knees on Tuesday have helped the pain a lot than the other ones did so i am up and about more today.

There have been some of you missing from here, please come back and post, I miss you. Where is GodsBeloved at, miss ya to.

See you later and God Bless You All.
--------------------------------------------------
You are in your car driving home. Thoughts wander to the game you want to see or meal you want to eat, when suddenly a sound unlike any you've ever heard fills the air. The sound is high above you. A trumpet? A choir? A choir of trumpets? You don't know, but you want to know. So you pull over, get out of your car, and look up. As you do, you see you aren't the only curious one. The roadside has become a parking lot. Car doors are open, and people are staring at the sky. Shoppers are racing out of the grocery store. The Little League baseball game across the street has come to a halt. Players and parents are searching the clouds. And what they see, and what you see, has never before been seen.

As if the sky were a curtain, the drapes of the atmosphere part. A brilliant light spills onto the earth. There are no shadows. None.

From every hue ever seen and a million more never seen. Riding on the flow is an endless fleet of angels. They pass through the curtains one myriad at a time, until they occupy every square inch of the sky.

North. South. East. West.

Thousands of silvery wings rise and fall in unison, and over the sound of the trumpets, you can hear the cherubim and seraphim chanting, Holy, holy, holy. The final flank of angels is followed by twenty-four silver-bearded elders and a multitude of souls who join the angels in worship.

Presently the movement stops and the trumpets are silent, leaving only the triumphant triplet: Holy, holy, holy. Between each word is a pause. With each word, a profound reverence. You hear your voice join in the chorus. You don't know why you say the words, but you know you must.

Suddenly, the heavens are quiet. All is quiet. The angels turn, you turn, the entire world turns and there He is. Jesus.

Through waves of light you see the silhouetted figure of Christ the King. He is atop a great stallion, and the stallion is atop a billowing cloud. He opens his mouth, and you are surrounded by his declaration:

I am the Alpha and the Omega.

The angels bow their heads. The elders remove their crowns. And before you is a Figure so consuming that you know, instantly you know: Nothing else matters. Forget stock markets and school reports. Sales meetings and football games. Nothing is newsworthy.. All that mattered, matters no more...
For Christ has come.

hello Berta I have told them that I will be putting them in the notty spot if they do not respond after being told the first time and they have been warned. And it is working SOMETIMES I do not want to have to yell to get them to do something. I remember when mine were little their dad would say for them to do something and they did it the first time he never yelled. I think us moms are not stern enough in our voices sometimes. But I do give them LOTS of praises & hugs when they do what I ask the first time and when they do clean their everyday and are good in church and things like that they get extra privileges. Like going to the park or they LOVE to go to mc donalds and play in the play area they have for kids or burger king RICHARD BIRTHDAY IS FEB 18, SO I AM GETTING A SITTER THIS SATURDAY AND MY MOM AND I ARE GOING TO GO PRICING GAMEBOYS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND THEN WE ARE TRYING TO GET SOME FRIENDS TOGETHER AND MAYBE GO TO DINNER. THEY LOVE THE YOUNG LADY THAT WATCHES THEM. SHE IS A 19 YR OLD THAT GOES TO OUR CHURCH SHE IS VERY ACTIVE IN OUR CHURCH.

I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT LOSE
I GOT TO GO

WELL IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACKKIDS HONESTLY DO WANT DISCIPLINE BUT THEY DON'T REALIZE IT. THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THE CHILDREN TODAY THE PARENTS ARE SO BUSY THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN AND THEY PRETTY MUCH ARE RAISED UP BY THE TV SETS. THEN WHEN THEY GET OLDER THEY REBEL AND WHO KOWS WHAT ELSE. IT IS A SAD SITUATION.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THOSE TWO LITTLE ONES HAVE YOU AND YOUR MOM.!!!!

THANKS I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT MY LOSS TOO. NOW THIS WEEK I'M GOING FOR THREE LBS. BUT WILL BE HAPPY WITH ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT'S A LOSS.

SOUNDS AS IF HE IS GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!

I AM NOT GOING TO GET TO BE WITH MY GRANDSON TONIGHT. HE HAS TWO FRIENDS THAT ARE BROTHERS INVITED HIM TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

SO I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND AS THAT IS BIG DEAL TO HIM. SO I AM HAPPY FOR HIM

ANSWERED THIS POST UP ABOVEYOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK-END TOO. AND GIVE THOSE KIDDIES AND BIG BEAR HUG FOR ME AND TELL MOM HELLO

[la.lady]

I am so glad that you can have coffee Berta. I have to give up coffee and it is about to drive me crazy. I always looked forward to having coffee in the mornings and the caffeine gave me such a boost. Now I don't feel like I have anything to get up for. In fact I have been sleeping late because I can't have my coffee. I have been a coffee drinker since I was 16 years old and this is a real hard thing for me. I guess I am allergic to the coffee some way. I tried it again this week and I started itching real bad. It's funny because it didn't show up in my tests that I am allergic to it. I thought at first it was the creamer in it, but I tried it without it and it still made me itch. This makes me sad. Thanks for letting me vent.

Have a blessed evening and sweet dreams...

PATTY
I AM SORRY YOU CAN'T HAVE COFFEE ANY LONGER BUT IT WOULD BE WORTH GIVING UP TO ME NOT TO HAVE THE 24/7 ITCHING.

DO YOU LIKE TEA? THEY HAVE IT IN SOME WONDERFUL FLAVORS NOW.
I LOVE THE APPLE CINNAMON AND TRUE BLUEBERRY. I EVEN LIKE JUST THE PLAIN OLD PEKOE TEA. ALSO GREEN TEA IS QUITE GOOD AND IT ALSO HAS SOME GREAT HEALTH BENIFITS.

ANYWAY SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO TRY NEW THINGS AND AFTER AWHILE WE GET SO WE LIKE THEM. I USE TO HATE DIET SODA. NOW IF I DRINK ANY IT IS DIET.

OR PERHAPS YOU COULD TRY A FRUIT SMOOTHIE IN THE MORNINGS INSTEAD OR A CUP OF HOT COCOA??

WELL THESE WERE JUST SOME THOUGHTS. HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING TO SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR COFFE. BUT AT LEAST YOU ARE FREE FROM THE ITCHING!!!I HAVE THOUGHT ALL ALONG IT WAS FRM SOMETHINGYOU WERE EATING.
AS I SAID BEFORE THE DR'S AREN'T ALWAYSRIGHT!

TAKE CARE AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK END

[la.lady]

Yes I love Tea but with being hypothyroid I am supposed to limit it, because it causes the thyroid meds from working. It has something to do with the fluoride that it puts out in your body and it makes your thyroid sluggish. I am only eating one meal a day. Doing CAD and I have to wait until then to have my sugar. I can't use artificial sweeteners because they cause me to itch, too. It is a never ending battle trying to figure out what to stay away from...

You have a wonderful weekend too.

THANKS PATTY I WILL. MY DH WILL BE HOME MONDAY!!!
I HAVE HYPERTHYROID ALSO AND I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT NOT DRINKING TEA. DRINK DECAFFINATED THEN?? I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM
BUT I KNOW IT WILL ALL WORK OUT FOR YOU.

You got it Berta...but I will live.

[Pcola Girl]

Hi everyone, just thought I would give you a quick check before I got ready for bed.
Not much to do today beside stay indoors and rest, its been storming outside all day.
Managed to get some things packed up though because we are moving to our new house around the 10th. of Feb. We were planning to go out furniture shopping for a new bed room set but the weather was just to bad to get out so we will make that another time. I tried to tell my hubby to wait until we get moved to get it but he still wants to go look.
Will see you on Monday, don't usually get here on Sundays because we are so busy with church all day and usually up until about 8:30 PM. When we get home I just hit the bed...
God Bless.

Patty, sorry to hear that you can't have coffee. I weined myself off coffee because I was having the jitters and anxiety attacks. I will pray that that dreadful itching will stop, in the mightly name of Jesus!!! The name above all names. He is able to do the impossible, for anything is possible with God.

Ladies, I had to work today to get some time in for having tuesday off. We were short staffed, but were able to get an important order out for monday. There was a lot of work to do, but we got it all done.

I have been praying, because we've been having troubles with an employee at work. The guy is smart, but doesn't like people and has been stressing us all out. We work as a complete team, but he wants things done his way and won't comply with us. If any of us make a mistake he rant and raves to the manager, and makes a big deal of it. But, if he screws things up you don't hear him getting in trouble, because he's best friends with the manager.

Anyways, I feel kinda sorry for the guy, because he is so insecure and has a superiority complex. He is good with computers and should go back doing that. They almost put him in charge, because the manager is a nice guy [and they think he is too soft, but that's not the case, we put a stop to that right away. We have gone and talked to the big boss and they said that they're working on it. They don't want problems, but want a harmonious working environment.

Apparently the boss had a talk with him, concerning his attitude and job, and he's planning on going back to school. He asked if he could work parttime there, while going back to school, but we said it's a "no go." Because, it's going to cause problems at work. Man, it's so tense right now. Please prayer that God will take control of the siduation, and that everything will work out according to his will, in Jesus's name, amen. I know God can work things out. I still love my job!!! it's the one He gave me, thank you Jesus!!!

God Bless You All in Christ Jesus our Lord!!!

[la.lady]

Tammy thanks so much for the prayers. I too pray that everything will work out right at your work. We put it in God's hands and now we pray that it be done. It is hard to work in an a place that has tension and that needs to be straightened out.

Have a very Blessed Sunday Girls.
