Waking with hope to start typing my book, but the day chips at the hope.

Pain causes me to lay down. I try everything I know but nothing is working. How wonderful it is to fall asleep and wake with no pain.

I start to make breakfast trying to rid the bad thoughts filling my mind when my phone rings.

A ministry calling, ” Happy Birthday, is there anything we can pray for.”

The phone call was perfect timing to remember God is still working in my life.

We take the dogs for a short walk but the smoke is bothersome. Wildfire smoke has made its presence here. There was a moment today when the sun came out and fresh air appeared. I walk outside. Finding peas and raspberries ready to be picked, I grab bowls and get busy.

Later in the evening I walk the dogs over a mile and most of it I cover my mouth with my shirt.  I do get my 10,000 steps.

I lay down again wait for the pain to leave trying to think of a way to move, and God says, “Take a bath!”

Hope grows and pain leaves. I start the dishwasher to heat the water. Sitting up I pray, read my Bible and Praise before getting into the tub.

No book writing today.

The feeling of God’s Grace fills me with Peace. He Knows my joy in gardening.

God Is Good!
