Their Children's Children

But from everlasting to everlasting

the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,

and his righteousness with their children’s children

Morning Coffee – Prayer Request

Today Jim is having surgery; surgery that we hope will tell us what has been going on in his body to cause him such distress. He first saw our Doctor almost 5 weeks ago. The first week he was treated for a bladder infection. The second week he was treated for pneumonia. Neither treatment helped him. The third week he had a needle biopsy. The fourth week was anxiously spent waiting for results. Even after being sent on to the Mayo Clinic, the results came back “inconclusive”. The next step in this journey is his surgical biopsy scheduled for today. We are requesting prayers for peace and comfort for Jim and successful exploration by the surgeon resulting in a firm diagnosis so that treatment can begin as soon as possible.

⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5

Updates and Daffodills!

In my previous post, I designated Saturday March 26th, (“Make your own Holiday” day) "Mom is out of ICU and soon to be home again Day". And it was the perfect designation. Mom did indeed come home from the hospital last Saturday.

After learning just how critical a low sodium level can be, we are now more aware of watching salt intake – not just too much but also to make sure it is enough. We learned this issue a hormonal one and more often affects older women. Once she received enough sodium - slowly over two days - she returned to her old self and was ready to head home – with a much wiser family in tow!

Halleluiah!!

Additionally, our snow is just about all gone and all the daffodils Jim carefully planted for me last fall are finally breaking through the ground!! Spring has sprung in Minnesota!!

Halleluiah, again!!

Much Better than Farmville!

I admit I've been having my fun farming in Farmville. It seems to satisfy a need to plow, plant and harvest; one that hasn't been satisfied since we moved out of our home and into a townhouse. I've never been an avid gardener but I did enjoy putzing with my flower garden (which Jim built and my dad designed). Planting and placing a pot of flowers is just not the same as really digging in the dirt.

But yesterday was different. We were given the opportunity to really garden! Dad officially turned over his two tiered flower garden (and his old antique trowel) to Jim and I to care for. At age 90, Dad decided he was ready to simply enjoy the garden - not work it. And so with great enthusiasm Jim and I dug in yesterday; first spending the morning roaming the garden centers for a mass of annuals and then spending the rest of the day planting, moving, weeding and watering. It was the most fun I've had in ages. Today will be round two (even though my body is protesting just a bit)!

Family Traditions

Yesterday Noah had the opportunity to help his Grandpa while learning a little more about his Great Grandpa and Grandma Meyer. He took his job very seriously.
