Now, I'm back. Personally I need a creative outlet, and I'm hoping that what I share is entertaining and encouraging.
So since it's been a while, here is an update on the family. As with all Nana's, spending time with my kids and grandkids is the highlight of my life. Last summer everyone made it to NJ for 4 fun filled days of family reunion. What a great family we have. The families all pitched in with the cost of food, and even the men got in on the cooking action, fixing their own favorite foods. Can't wait to do it again. I love watching the cousins play together.
One of the major changes in my life recently has been prompted by my sister. She has various health issues and began a strict diet to find out what triggers her problems. While in Michigan "all us girls" decided to work on that too. For me, going gluten and sugar free has been a life changer. Not only have I lost weight, but the swelling in my knees and aches in my legs have diminished. So in the future I will be sharing some of my secrets.
Which brings me to a reminder to us all: Hebrews 10:25 "not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
On September 13, I plan to meet with a few women at the Gathering Place at our church for a short devotional, prayer and fellowship. If you are interested in joining us, let me know. We will be using Juanita Purcell's book Be Still, My Child" on the book of Psalms. She writes "
Be still -- slow down!
Take time in God's presence;
Listen to His whisper,
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Set aside all your busyness, thoughts, and jobs to be done.
Just be still and quiet before God.
He will not compete with your busyness;
You must choose Him first!
When you put Him first, you finally
Really get to know Him.
