Yesterday's Life Journal reading Matthew 14 talked to me. Jesus was in deep anguish over the death of John the baptist, and how he died. He needed to be alone in his grief, but the people crowded in.
Setting that aside because of his compassion for them, he was there for them. He was able to bring about the great miracle of feeding the 5,000 because of the power within him. I venture to say that power was enhanced by the great strength of grief that was within him at that moment. He later went back to the mountain to be alone.
I am thankful for the people who are feeding multitudes this Thanksgiving Day.

Little Giants: .
Beautiful day, Good friends..I'll tell you what happened last night. As I got out of the car I shut the door too soon and the bottom edge gouged my leg. It bled and hurt like crazy. At home I doctored it and changed the dressing twice in the night. It still needs to be covered but is better. Be careful.
Also I printed out a warning about cell phones. If you have them on when you are pumping gas they can cause an explosion-No kidding!
We are having Thanksgiving dinner here at the Retirement Center with three other couples. We eat with different ones now and then to get to know each other better. Most have led a fruitful life. Many are well traveled and have interesting stories.
My chore tonight is to list all the things I need to tell my endocrinologist when I see him this week. You have a good one-Esther

Think On This
As people start thinking about Christmas it is a happy occasion.
Reading the Christmas story I realized how I had been swept by the age old presentation. I even have a nativity scene, but here's the truth.
Matthew 2:10 says, "The wise men brought their gifts for Jesus to the HOUSE where he was."
How about that.! Even still, knowing the truth, I'll display my manger.and go along with tradition.
I just watched a U-Tube video of my grandson, who is in San Francisco, doing an interview with a financial reporter. I'm proud that he is doing well.
I'm reading the second book by my neighbor, Exie Henson. Its about her mother's life in these mountains.
Time for supper. 'Bye, Esther

Little Giants: Nov.17,2011
Good Morning Y'all. I didn't know if anybody was reading my blogs, but someone commented last night. Its encouraging. Hust a "Hi" will do.
Anyway I'll have to confess that at my age I'm still learning. Remember those hymns that talk about the mansions in heaven. I always pictured them as having majestic pillars and red carpets, situated on the streets of gold.
I was shocked when it was revealed to me that our "house" is our glorious eternal state, as compared to the present "tent" we live in.
On the reality side of my life my friend served some soup for lunch. Her English friend said, "What is it?
She said :Its"Bean soup." He emphatically said, "I don't care what its been, what is it now?"

Little Giants
I have gone to this blogspot at least 5 times, but I continue to get lost in its forest every time I want to write something. Now my time is spent and I have forgotten what I wanted to say- Oh yes-
A little giant has been trying to steal my peace. I let all the news I have been hearing about the economy start to get to me. What if the banks fail? Where can we put our small amount of money so it will be safe?
We asked if we could pay our rent in advance, but no luck. I had to face it. Money will be devalued so it won't do much good anyway.
God, forgive me that I doubted your word that you would take care of your children ,no matter what. When I admitted that, I started to regain my peace. Go back little giant. Youre not welcome here!!!Esther
