I found my previous blogs! Yay! I haven't posted any blogs for three years! Wow! So much has happened since the last time I posted. The last post, I had written that my mother-in-law had fallen before we came to visit. Since the death of my brother-in-law, she has fallen often. My poor husband has stressed over her falling and encouraged her to look into going into a senior's residence. This past year, she has stubbornly given in. She is now in a residence. She hasn't fallen since she has been there. Praise the Lord! The days leading up to her going into a senior's residence were to say the least, very stressful! She thought everyone was out to get her and she had threatened to jump off the balcony of the apartment she was in. She is all of 5 feet tall. The balcony is 7 floors up from the ground. She has trouble walking, so I don't think she could have carried out her threat! It was worrisome though. It stressed my husband out.

On another stressful circumstance for which I cannot do anything is my brother. He has hepatic/renal failure and requires a liver/kidney transplant. He is waiting to get on the transplant list. Please pray for him.

My parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in August of this year, 2016. They have decided to take a cruise to the Panama canal. Exciting!

My husband has retired which I find stressful at times as I don't think we prepared ourselves financially. We still pay a mortgage, so it means I have to work for a long while. Thinking about my husband retiring was stressful also as he almost died. December 26th, 2014 he got really sick. He ended up in the hospital in January and was there for four days. He had just brought me back from an appointment in Vancouver but still didn't feel very well. I dropped him off at RCH. He had no magnesium or potassium in his system. The ER doctor had said that if I had waited one more day, he could have been dead. It has basically taken a year for my husband to get well. On a funny note; when I went to visit him one day, he wasn't in his bed. I asked the nurse where he was and she had said that he was visiting with his wife. I told her I was his wife. The nurse directed me to where he was. He had been visiting with one of my good friends. We tease her and tell her she is my husband's second wife! Lol

I have come to realize that life is precious and that we have to embrace each day with grace and live life and enjoy every moment. Tomorrow may never come.

Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The lOrd is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:4-7.
