Finally day 11........out of bed. ONLY because I had to get an injection in the nerve of my foot this morning. Tears ran down my cheeks and he finally stopped, short of a full treatment but I was about to pass out, ouch. Im still congested and coughing and sinus pressure. Want to lay down but I need to clean and get ready to cook. Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. This year my sons birthday lands on Thanksgiving and Im thankful to have him here with me. Im making all his favorite foods if I have to prop myself up. We havent had a Thanksgiving together since 2007. Bless God and pray for my strength. While Im up I want to tell you a story about my car.......Gods Grace. I bought my car in 2005, its a 2006. Brand spankin new......Ordered it!!!! Love that van!!! In the years Ive had it, some of the things its done is: Haul LITERALLLY tons of food for homeless and needy people. Loved every ounce of that. Loaded and unloaded and reloaded. Hauled food and clothing and toys to the parks, down by the river. Hauled sound equipment for many occasions. Hauled brides to weddings, grooms to receptions and expectant mommies to hospitals. Moved many families many times. Schoolroom when I home schooled the girls. Hauled many, many decorations for Emmaus and many Pilgrims there and back, some not even my own. When we first started our church we hauled all our equipment to the places we rented until we got our own building. Took many to doctor appointments, ER many nights, food to shut-ins, Took children to safe places and women in danger to peaceful places. Janet to cancer treatments, I hated that but shes still with us, amen. That car has been beat to falling apart. Thankfully, falling apart because it has been used for Gods glory over and over. Last weeks story: I have been having one issue after another for a while. I had to borrow cars to get to and from Emmaus the last Walk. The GPS, stereo, DVD player, AC all quit working within a few days of each other. Took it to CarMax to sell it to them and HEY the engine light comes on a block from the place. OK HERE YOU GO, it went off at the same place as I was leaving. It cost me $300 for that light to shine. Had it worked on. God it back, making another noise in the dash which moved down to the firewall. I drove it for a week and a half or so. AC still not working. I was coming back from the doctor last week, noise getting really loud. Called my son and he sent a tow truck for it. He called me later when it got to the shop. When I was talking to him on the phone I was coming across the Mitchell Bridge, which is a sloping curved bridge. I know his face was white when he call me and said, Mom, you shouldnt be alive. The wheel wasnt even attached to the car. That noise you have been hearing was parts flopping around and banging on the firewall. Mom you could have died. It should have come off and killed you all. Of course I told him God is good. I guess Im not done yet. He fixed the wheel but the rest of the car is still falling apart. Pray for me please. Because of my losses in 2010 I have no credit, no savings, no investments, no income (except SSI). That doesnt make a car affordable. My son has been letting me drive his truck, which hasnt seen much use except for school drop-off and pick-up every day. He needs his truck. What a blessing it has been and Im thankful for his generosity. Im making special foods for his B-DAY. I need to give the truck back asap. Only God can do this. I love God with all my heart and am depending on His riches and lavishing love. Here I stand with eyes closed, hands out, heart open, OH NO, IM ANTICIPATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I am. Well thats my newest story. I have lots of these you know. Lets have coffee and share some time. OH, my daughter got me a new phone to replace the one she got me that I dropped in the water a couple weeks ago. Lost all my txts, etc. Praise God I had pics on my computer. The new one isnt working so I have another one coming tomorrow. Love starting over. CAn you remember all the passwords to all your apps??? Better write them down friend. Thanks Sissy for ALL you do!!!! Love you so. We had lunch with Mari today. Blessed!! SEE lots of stories. Put on the coffee.......
