Shrinking A Goiter

I LOVE THIS ILLUSTRATION


A finished KITCHEN is in my FUTURE!  Keeping my eye on the gold.  This week-end we'll be all of about an inch closer to this finish line.  We will be closer.  I'm getting FAT waiting for this to come to pass. 
 
Today I took it relatively easy.  Stayed in my HOUSECOAT of all things.  Even soaked in the tub.  I shaved my legs for this.

Being that it's the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER the air conditioner was turned on along with some fans to circulate the cooler air.  Tried to take a nap.  No such luck.  Didn't go get the mail either.  Our POWER went off for just a split second.  Just long enough to make the fridge beep when the power came back on.   

I am a fan of electricity and all that we can do with it. 

Back in March I thought the month would never end...April and May have passed and now it's SUMMER.  


My week went so fast.  I didn't get everything done that I had hoped I would, but will forge ahead.  Next week hubby and I both will be visiting with an Endocrinologist.  Hubby has a goiter and I have to have my 6 month physical.  Not looking forward to this.  Not at all.  Will get through it and then see where to go with the information.

Do any of you out there have suggestions on how to shrink a goiter? 

Hamburgers and chips for our Friday Night Supper.  Being honest here, I could of made a meal out of the chips alone.  Potato Chips are one of my favorite foods.  Oh the shame of it all.  Had my diet Root Beer and called it good.

I have been gathering info up about Flo V. Menninger's Bible Study that was bequeathed by her family to the YWCA.  Have you ever wondered what life must have been like a hundred years ago or more?  How the American Housewife spent her days and if she was interested in the Spiritual Growth of her growing Family?

I was checking out Topeka's YWCA page and know that it stands for Young Women's CHRISTIAN Association.  But somewhere along the way, I think CHRIST has been removed from the YWCA.  They seem to be another women's organization doing things on their own power these days.  Hum.  Something very important has been removed from the Y.

They seem to like to shorten the name of the organization to the Y or YW.  

Originally Prayer Groups were attended in Ladies' Homes and prayers for young women were prayed.  I suppose we could do this now if we so desired. 

One of the blessings in our country that we still can do is to PRAY.
In our HOMES.

The govt. has no right...right now to stop us from saying SILENT prayers in public.  At this point in time, how will they know that you are praying inside of your head?  If you choose to just start praying out loud while shopping...you can.  I pray all the time while shopping and driving my car.  

I'm praying that my husband's goiter shrinks or disappears.
I'm praying that my Kitchen get completed soon.
I'm praying for my country.
I'm praying that my house be in order.
I'm praying for....and it continues.  

God bless you.
May we all have a blessed week-end,
d

Wonderful prayer suggestions. I hope your beloved feels better soon. I wish I could be of more help to you. Oh, and I understand about being able to make a meal out of chips alone. Mint chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate sauce makes me feel the same way!

My daughter keeps reminding me about why I haven't accomplished much so far this summer. I had a bad skin infection and swelling in the leg. The doctor said that I absolutely had to keep my leg up to get the swelling to come down so the antibiotic would do its job and my leg could heal OR I could go to the hospital and get IV antibiotics. I did the easier thing--keep the leg up and got very little done around the house and yard! So I know the feeling of wanting things to be finished!! I still need to paint my lower kitchen cabinets that I started right before school last fall. Now when everyone else is going back to work on August 9th, I just might be getting more painting started AND finished!! Hope you both will have good reports from the doctors. Take care and stay cool. Alex and Sarah put my AC unit up for me this morning!♥♫

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
