Musings,sponsered a child,Jamie Grace

I did not fall off the face of the earth.My days are routine now,get up early,take my dh`s blood sugar,give him 2 shots in the am,give him his pills,make sure he has cereal or breakfast whatever he would want.That is just early am...Lately I`ve had a talk with God because not only did I have to take care of him & my animals-which are my joy,my furnace has stopped running again,so it is beat it to empty ashes & restart the woodstove in the am as well as it has been still so cold.Why,God,pile so much on me at once? So,called the furnace guy & the part is on order,it is a "pigtail" that holds wires all together,he rigged it earlier in the winter,but now it needs a perm fix.After the talk with God,the oil heat has been back on,hopefully I won`t have to hurry to get the fire going for much longer as the wires have stayed in place,for now..hopefully till that part comes in.

Two weeks ago,God whispered to me ,reminding me of a life  long wish of mine to sponser a child.I never thought I was committed enough.My family has always been totally against it.But I was reminded 2 weeks ago when the radio station I was listening to had a telethon going on.I felt that small voice within remind me again that this is the right time now,go & look at least at their pictures.

Now,I know some people will say,help our children in the USA.Well,I do.And if you belong to a church,you should know that you do as well,& as well as other programs your church has in place to help our people in our community,that`s what our tithes go for,you are giving to your church & your community if it is only a dollar.These children who live in proverty every day have no hope unless we help them.

I`m not here to preach,just saying I sponsored a little girl in Indonesia,she is 4,her name is Angela Marici Fallo,they call her Ici.I fell in love with the proud & determined look on her face,her clothing looked typical Muslim.I will post a pic as soon as I can get my printer to love this new computer.She has 2 other siblings,she loves to sing & play with dolls & she is in charge of her family`s animals,feeding & watering them...someone after my own heart.$38 is all I have to send to help Ici & her family.

Flash forward to Sat.,I bought tickets to see Jamie Grace in concert.She was wonderful.Savannah just loves her.Jamie`s message was...help the children through compassion international.I was really very surprised.I felt then that I did the right thing .

Leaving you with a walk in my woods,a flicker,pileated woodpecker,some sort of poop-yes,poop in the woods is always interesting to me-the hawk was hunting the birds were hiding,the woodpecker was on the floor of the forest.I have already posted these pics to facebook because sometimes it is easier not to write anything...just post a picture or 2.

Mia & Simon are settling in & this week I`ll be hiring someone to put up better fencing.

son heard a coyote in the woods,their poop?I have all bunnies inside now

Jen gave Chloe a much needed haircut,Jen`s getting slimmer & slimmer!!!way to go Jen!
 

Bad boy Bandit is liking the new dogs,thank the dear Lord!

Wedding Anniversary & Birdwatching

Today is the dh & my 39th wedding anniversary.It was rainning snowflakes way back then,everyone said rain on a wedding day brings good luck to the marriage.I don`t know about that.We usually take a once a year trip to the local Red Lobster for dinner,but I don`t think that`s happenning this year.He is still slumbering.
I found my camera laying on the floor with the flash up this morning ,darn cats chasing each other knocked it over somehow.It looks like the lens has another crack in it,so I went out to try to take some pics & it seems ok.
I was surprised to see the northern flicker,& to actually get photos of the bird,though they aren`t that great.

unknown bird

I do not have a clue what the bird is at the birdbath.I`m going back outside to see if I can see another,just had to check to see if the camera is still working.
Despite the frost,some roses are still blooming.
