A Verse to Live by

"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength;
but with the trial he will also
provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it."
1 Cor 10:13

TGIF


Had a brief flirt with no power again. Thursday evening's storm knocked power out until 6:30 the next morning. I, of course, had put away all the flashlights and candles from the previous outage! :)

Definitely happy that today was Friday. Even with Wednesday to recoup, I was really tired at the end of yesterday and again today. Part of my fatigue, I think, is because I'm not out walking and exercising. Just can't handle walking in this heat. Speaking of heat, I've discovered that when the burn of indigestion hits the stomach that Tums and a watermelon chaser are a pretty good combo.

Final thoughts for the day and week:
  • I have a home and roof over my head and that's blessing even when the power is out.
  • My brother John came over on Tuesday to get my AC running and has been staying with me the last few nights. Got me energized to cook a couple of meals and eat some of what I cooked!
  • I'm really fortunate to have wonderful siblings -- we love each other, get along well, and enjoy each other's company.

I'm tired. Goodnight.

Quite the pic of Sedona!
Hey, Laura,
I really had you on my heart last night, woke up and prayed for you often. I love when God does that! I know what you mean re: heat. It's been horrible here, too.
We'll just keep praising and thanking the Lord for all His many blessings!
Love,
Lesa
