Been a little busy have you?

Boy, I sure have been busy.

I'm currently leading two Bible Studies on Revelation, Life Lessons series by Max Lucado. That means I do the same thing in both groups. Actually it makes it some what easier because I prepare twice for the study and then present it twice.  So in the real time of it I study twice, the second time to refresh what the class will be about. I also meet for counseling purposes with one senior lady once a week for which I pray and study for according to the leading of Holy Spirit for the particular individual.

I also keep up with friends regularly calling and visiting every week. Once a month I meet my cousin on my Mother's side to get to know each other. For me, other than my immediate family she is the only first cousin I have contact with. I have some nieces and nephews but do not regularly get to visit with them. I do have a daughter and grands living near by sorta. The grands have left the nest mostly. One is studying with her new husband to become missionaries, the middle daughter is in college and plays on the JV basket ball team so she is away from home but close enough to come home on the weekends. I don't see them often and the youngest is in college but lives at home. I do see him at church.

Not sure why I'm telling  you all this personal stuff except to give you a since of my life at 79. I continue to keep busy on things I believe are helpful in the Kingdom of God. My life is rich at this age and I'm continually amazed at what God continues to do in me and my life and that He continues to use me, maybe more in some ways. The point is I'm not done living life at this stage. I'm excited to meet a new day each morning though, I do creak a bit some mornings when I first swing my legs out from under the covers and set my feet on the floor. But, that soon passes as I keep moving.

You could say I have kind of a new life.  I never in a million years (I like that phrase) did I think I would write a book and it be published...self published but never the less published. Some look down on that manner of publishing but a good deal of those people haven't written a book that is on the shelves and on line for purchase. I'm just say'in.

I wanted to post so anyone who checks to see if I have a new post would find one. I've already decorated my apartment for Christmas. But, keeping with the calendar, I'm meeting with my grandson to discuss Thanksgiving Dinner. He and I are cooking the turkey, a couple of pies and other side dishes for some senior lady friends of mine. My daughter will be out of town so she offered her home for the dinner. This morning will be a planning session so that we will be set for the big day. I'm excited to cook with my grandson.

So, here it is, Happy Thanksgiving to all and blessings for all the things you do during this season. May God bless you and keep you.

It's early in the morning on Friday before Thanksgiving and I'm Judy. up and at 'em while Milo is sleeping on his circle bed just behind me. We're in the cottage and it's still dark out this morning. Until next time, stay warm if it's cold where you are and be careful in traffic.
