Last week is a blur! I can't think of anything of significance that I accomplished. With the exception of attending Grampy Allen's funeral on Sunday and representing a fellow employee at a grievance hearing on Friday....life pretty much ...just happened last week! And for those that are wondering....if you thought outside was cold on Sunday....You should have been inside!
Have a great week!

RIP - Grampy
Grampy is in the hands of his Maker! Grampy was a strong man who loved God and had the respect of his family. At 94 he deserves this rest. Rest in Peace Grampy! We love you!

Whose hands are you IN?
A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A baseball in Roger Clemens' hands is worth $475 million.
It depends on whose hands it's in.
A tennis racket is useless in my hands.
A tennis racket in Andre Agassi's hands is worth millions.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends whose hands it's in.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in Jesus' hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it's in.
Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will Produce salvation for the entire world.

The 7-UPS
WAKE UP - Begin the day with the Lord.This is the day the Lord hath made, rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24-
DRESS-UP - Put on a smile. It makes you look better.Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him, for the Lord seeth no as man seeth, for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Sam 16:7-
SHUT-UP – God gave us two ears and one mouth. We should listen twice as much as we talk. Don't gossip. Say nice things. Learn to listen.He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life, but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3 A gossip betrays a confidence, so avoid a man who talks to much. Proverbs 20:19 NIV-
STAND-UP – He that stands for nothing will fall for anything. Take a stand for what you believe. And Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. Galatians 6:9-10-
LOOK-UP - Open your eyes to the Lord.I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13-
REACH-UP - Spend time in prayer for all your fears.Trust in the Lord with all thine hear, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
LIFT-UP – Exalt & Magnify the King of Kings!And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me. John 12:32

Here we go again!
Has it really been a full week since I have blogged? My goodness time is going fast. I think the older you get...the faster time goes....but I'll have to ask my sister-in-law (Sharon) to be sure...cause she is older than I! LOL (don't anyone tell...but she will be 40 this year!)
Last week was very busy. I didn't go to work last Monday as I wasn't feeling the best. Monday evening was Ladies Committee meeting, Tuesday evening was church, Wednesday was...well...supper out with Manumanum and Naomi, Thursday was Thursday! :-) and on Friday and Saturday I was on the Island for Tanya's basketball tournament.
In the middle of all of this, Phillip's paternal grandfather was very low. He went into the hospital on Monday evening and was put on the ventilator early Tuesday morning. On Thursday around noon the decision was made to remove him from the ventilator. Within 10 minutes Grampy was sitting up and talking to everyone in his room! The Doctor stood in the doorway with his hands on his hips and laughing. He told the family that twice before he has pronounced Grampy dead and both times within a week or so Grampy was on his tractor....so it is up to God! Grampy Allen is 94 years old and very strong willed. We do know that he has cancer in his lungs and only has one lung working and only at 10% now because of the pneumonia. However, God is good and allowed the family all the chance to say goodbye. Phillip and I were in on Friday morning to ICU to see him and Phillip fed him breakfast! He chatted with us and when I went to kiss him on the cheek, he turned his face and kissed me on the mouth! I told him that I would see him later and he said...in the by and by. Grampy wants to go home and he is ready to go...so ...God's timing is best! He is out of ICU and in a regular room now. When we dropped by early this morning he was sleeping soundly.
Tanya's basketball tournament was in Kensington, PEI. Their first game was on Friday evening and they lost by 1 point! Tanya played very well! After I took her to the hotel where the team was staying, I drove up west to my brothers' home and spent the night there. On Saturday morning before heading back down to Kensington for the remaining games, I stopped in to see my grandmother. My grandmother has not known me for about 1-1/2 years now. I miss talking with her very much. When I walked into the nursing home and she spotted me, her face lit up! She said..."Oh, I've been looking for you! I've missed you!". I really think that Alzeimers patients have moments of clarity! She was quite chatty and during our "coversation" she said to me..."I wish Susan were here!" (Susan is her youngest daughter!). I asked her..."What would you do if Susan were here?" She answered me with a big smile, knowing that she was making a joke..."I'd throw her away!".......Further into our visit Grammy asked me where Daisy was. I told her that I didn't know. Later she asked me..."Where is she?"...I asked her "Where is Sandra?" and she answered...."That was my question...that is what I asked you!" (Sandra is her other daughter - my mother). I told my grandmother that I love her and she answered "I love you too! I always have!" Just before I left, Grammy looked at me at said..."I remember you when you're gone!"..... I love my Grammy! She is special to me!
Tanya's first game on Saturday was a huge loss! I can't remember...but they lost by 20 or 30 points! They played the next game back to back...with only a 20 minute break. This final game was also a loss...but they only lost by 7 points. The score was 51 - 44....Tanya got about 14 or 16 of the 44 points! The Island teams were Senior teams...so I think they did very well!
Sunday was "prison day". After church on Sunday morning, a group of us went to the Springhill prison for another service. It was very good with quite a few men in attendance. The presence of God was very real and Manumanum was very annointed by God as she presented what God had given to her for those in attendance!
And today is the start of another week! I'll talk to you more this week...hopefully! Have a great one!

The song in my heart
It is amazing how God will use a song to speak to a heart. My manumanum and I use the saying "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words". Sunday was such a day.
When I am asked to sing, usually a song will pop into my head within moments of being asked and I usually find that the song is exactly the song that God has intended to be used for that service. Sometimes, being human, and going through things, sometimes the song is even meant for me and sometimes I fight the song.
I remember one particular instance when I was asked to sing and a certain song came into my head. I knew the song, knew that it was meant for me and refused to sing it. After all, maybe it was my "carnal" nature that was "picking" the song. I decided that I would sing another song...just as nice...but not what God wanted. I asked my sister-in-law if she would help me with the song because she usually sings it with me. I photocopied the song and had it ready for my brother-in-law to use when he played. I was getting away with it...I thought. But God knew and he was refusing to let me have my way. Just before I went up to sing, my father turned around to me and asked me if I was singing...I said yes and then he asked me to sing "that" song. I knew then that there was no running from God. I sang it, humble and broken.
I was asked to sing last night earlier in the day. No song really "came" to me. There was a new one that I wanted to try...but that didn't work out. After choir practice...I stayed at the keyboard and went through my two song books...nothing still. I went into the prayer room and before I left, I turned to Manumanum and said....I have to sing tonight and I don't have a song on my heart.
Went back to my seat and Manumanum sat with me. I opened my book and picked out a couple of songs and then showed them both to her during the song service..and said..."OK...which one?" Later she would tell me that there was an audible voice in her ear that said..."tell her that one"!.... When I got up to sing, I made it through the song and inside myself...I wanted to sing the first verse again...it was the least difficult...but when my fingers went up...it was #2 verse that I picked. The verse went like this.... "Oft times satan will whisper that there's no use to try. For there's no end to sorrow, there's no hope in the by-and by. But I know Jesus is with me and tomorrow I will rise, where the storms never darken the sky."
That verse was meant for me. The song was meant for me. The storms have been blinding and difficult. Feelings of giving up and "it doesn't matter anymore" have prevailed. But it is time to realize that the storms are only for a season and someday the Storms will never darken the sky.
My manumanum says that God knew the song of my heart and told her to remind me! Thanks Manumanum for being used of God!

Babysitting
Tanya (my daughter) wanted to go skiing....so Krystle said that she would go with her if I would keep her kids.
Krystle is a young lady who I met 19 years ago when she was only 8 or 9. During her teen years, she spent a lot of time at my home, not only babysitting my children, but just to get away from home which all teens do! She has grown into a beautiful young woman who is married (I was her maid of honor at her wedding) and she has a husband who thinks the sun rises and sets on her as well as having 3 beautiful children who are my Godchildren.
I agreed to babysit, thinking I would have all three children, however, Madison decided to spend the day with Aunt Jackie at hockey games...so I am with the two younger children. Brookie and Lincoln are joys to look after! They are currently amusing themselves, sitting on the floor, with the rug over their legs...patting it and singing! I don't remember my kids being this cute! LOL....maybe that is why they say to have grandchildren first...you are much more relaxed!
We have just finished supper, got the dishes washed and put away, had a treat and now...play time until bed time! Isn't life great! :-)
Oh yeah...and my manumanum took my mom and dad out for supper and didn't take me.....! But I'm not insulted! YET! :-)

Old Woman
I want to know when I became an old woman? I can't do anything right in my kids minds (especially my daughters), I can't dress right, speak right, discipline right, parent right, ....I can't do anything right....and when did I become a person that wouldn't go to the mall because I had no money? When has that ever stopped me? HUH?

A Whole Person!
This may sound a little funny...but today, I feel like a whole person again! And the difference in today you ask? Well, I got up this morning, got ready for work and went out to the yard and got in MY VAN! See for the past week and a half or so, my van has been utilized by missionaries (:-)
I have used my Dad's car, my father-in-law's truck, been offered Manumanums Car. Have used my hoofs (WOW...didn't know I was an animal did you?)...and that is all well and good and honestly, I didn't mind not having my vehicle.....but I didn't realize how much I had missed it until I went out this morning and got in it and felt whole again! LOL And really, without my vehicle, I had a really quiet time over Christmas because I was limited to what I could do...so it was very restful. I will honestly say that the only thing that I didn't do, over Christmas, that I wanted to was visit a couple of people (sorry Wendy and Marie!)...that's what happens when you don't have a vehicle that is all your own! LOL
It is also amazing how the phrase "out of sight, out of mind" applied in this situation as well. When returning my father-in-law's truck to him yesterday, I asked my dad to meet me with the van. When I arrived to the street that my in-laws (or out-laws! :-) live on, I realized that my dad had been driving in front of me the whole time, in MY VAN, and I hadn't noticed! LOL
So today, I am a whole woman again! Watch out world!

Subway
I really do need to get a life! I was so excited yesterday because I was going to Subway for lunch! Now, I know what you are thinking. This poor girl rarely gets to go to Subway! NOT! In fact, Subway is like a daily routine for me! I love Subway! However, I had not been to Subway since December 18th, 2008. (How lame is that...I even know the date!)
Anywhooooo....when lunch time rolled around, I went out to the vehicle and started driving out South Albion....toward Subway....my heart started beating just a little quicker and my breaths were coming in short gasps! My first words to Jean (who is one of my "Sandwich Artists" at Subway) was "I'm so excited to be here!" Jean just laughed at me....but you could tell that it had been almost three weeks...cause she couldn't remember what sandwich I usually get! Pam (my other sandwich artist who puts the veggies on) got me talking about books we're both reading...so that was nice... and then April (another of my sandwich artists), took my gift cards and rang me through....! Wow...it's nice to be back on track!
Have a great day all! And try a Sub at Subway today! But don't be in line when I get there!

My appropriate gift!
So...I get a call from Reception telling me that there is a gift for me at the front desk. I think they are pulling my leg or that Scott has dropped off another project that he wants me to do for him! LOL
Imagine my surprise and delight, when I'm on my way out for lunch, that they are actually telling me the truth!
Inside the gift were two luggage tags, one that says "Not Your Bag" and the other says "No! It's Not Yours!" Also included was a piggy bank that says "Vacation Fund". I LOVE THEM!
The tags are exactly ME and the piggy bank already has money in it. I have decided, where the bank is not actually big enough to put enough money for the trip..., it would still be big enough for my SPA fund for that same trip! I put all the change that was in my cubby...into the pig...and it is impatiently waiting more!
And I forgot to mention...this wonderfully appropriate gift came from my wonderfully appropriate trip friend! Thank you MITZI....I couldn't imagine another friend to take my vacations south with! I wonder what the poor people are doing then?

Just another day in the Neighborhood
Hello to all! (or just me...not sure if anyone is reading this anymore! LOL)
Yesterday, as stated before, was my first day back to work. It was a pretty un-eventful day as days go. I went and had lunch with my Mom and Dad....it tasted like New Years Dinner all mashed together...cause that's what it was! LOL My husband took me out for supper last night! To Burger King! (ok...before you laugh...here's something more....he took me there because he got coupons in the mail from BK!) Woot Woot! We went home after that and watched 2 episodes of JAG...I fell asleep during the 3rd episode and then he left for work! I think I slept from 9:30 to 6:00 a.m. this morning...and had the best sleep since the 27th :-)
Funny my life seemed much more exciting when I started this blog before Christmas! Have a great day!

My new favorite "BAD"/"LAME" Christmas joke
This is just a bonus blog today! Doesn't really have anything of import in it...just my new favorite "bad/lame" Christmas joke that I heard this year!
"What was the name of the female reindeer?"
"You know..."Olive, the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names!"
Cheers!

A New Year
So this is my first day back to work after being off since December 19th at noon! I cannot tell you what it felt like when the alarm went off this morning....I think it is the first time since the 19th....it probably didn't know what was happening either!
Christmas was nice, quiet and worry free! Went to Mark and Mel's to ring in the New Year. I think that was the first New Years in many years that I have not been asleep when the clock rolled onto 12:00! It was storming when I left around 1:30 and continued to storm through the night. When I got up on New Years Day...I had to wade snow to my knees to get out of my driveway.....I walked to my Mom and Dad's and helped them to prepare the New Years Dinner. Uncle Jack and Aunt Grace were planning to attend...but the storm kept them away! I spent the day with Mom and Dad and then home again!
On Saturday evening, I got word that I have a new cousin in Florida! Madalynn Avery weighed in at 7lbs 5 ounces. A beautiful sister for Ethan! I wish I could meet them personally...but the pictures help a little! Congratulations to T&A! :-)
Well...that is my boring life for today....talk to you all again soon!
