Things Children Have to Say About Angels

How cute.

Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else.
When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath again, somewhere there's a tornado.
Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who's a very good carpenter.
My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth.
What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them.

A special prayer for a friend

Her biopsy was rescheduled for later, in a way a relief. I worry about her and her age. Although a biopsy is a necessary evil. arggg

A dear friend of mine is going in for a biopsy tomorrow for the growth in her lung. She has advanced COPD and other health problems therefor just a biopsy can be a great risk. Please join in a prayer for her safety during the surgery.

Our heavenly father, please protect & watch over Mary K. as she goes through this ordeal. Keep her strong and wrap your loving arms around her in an armour steel. Strengthen her both in body and mind but also in spirit. Comfort her children, grandchildren, sister and friends during this time.

We know all things are possible with YOU & your amazing SON. In your name I pray amen.

Keep strong big sis, we are praying for you. Love ya.

Apple Brown Betty

APPLE BROWN BETTY (this was a recipe my momma used. Not sure where she got it from but it is delicious. A few alterations to meet my diabetic needs now.

2 c. bread crumbs (I mix some apple pie spice seasoning in with the bread crumbs about 1/2 t.)
1/4 c. butter, melted
3/4 c. splenda brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla
3 apples, chopped (about 2 cups)

For crumb mixture, mix bread crumbs and melted butter; set aside. For sugar mixture, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla; set aside. For apple mixture, mix chopped apples; set aside. Assembly: Place in a pam sprayed baking dish a layer of apples, bread crumbs and half of sugar. Repeat Top that with sugar mixture. Repeat layers ending with crumbs on top. and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Add 1/4 cup hot water, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove cover and brown. Serve with whipped cream or french vanilla ice cream. This never fails to be a pleaser of my two boys. Now adults. Also excellent with other fruit.

Trashy Tuesday--insulin syringes

As most of you know I am a diabetic. So I always have syringes and pin needles in purse to check my blood and give myself insuling. Disposing of the syringe needle and the pin needle can be a problem. What I've done is save my medicene bottles. Create a small hole in the lid and then hot glue around the lid so it can't be removed. I take a small square piece of duct tape, just big enough to cover the hole in the cover when one edge folded over for easy lift. I throw one of these containers in my purse and when traveling I break the needle into the old med bottle & cover the hole back with the tape. When it is full of old needles. I spray paint in red & mark hazard material and dispose of accordingly. This is free, compared to the cost of buying the little containers they sell in the store that can easily be carried in your purse. (12 for around 10.00). For home use. I save old tide, bleach bottles. Dispose of the syringe with the needle broken off into the tide or bleach bottle and when full do the same thing. Hot glue the lid, so it can't be removed easily. Paint red (unless its a Tide or Era bottle) Mark hazard and dispose accordingly.

I really wish there was another way to handle the needles, syringes and lancets and such. I break the needle off. So no one can reuse the syringe and mark the containers clearly so NO ONE (hopefuly), accidently pokes themselves but I still cringe at the thought of it. I go through a lot of these babies. Two reg insulins shots a day using syringes and three insulin shots a day using a cartridge and pin needles, plus the disposale of at least 6 to 10 used test strips a day and the lancet needle that goes with that part of it.

Scripture and Prayer

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's son, full of grace and truth.

Thank You, Word from God, for being willing to take on a new form. But so much more a blessing for those who saw you and for those like me who can only cling to their report.

Lord, thank You for this Monday. For the blessings you have given us. Lord, continue to keep Mary, Clarice & Lucretia in your stead fast arms. Heal those that need healed, give comfort to those that need comfort. Be ALL that You so wonderously are to every one. Continue to protect my loved ones, my friends and my family. Bless and keep up in your name I pray. Amen
