The Minister's Cat: Living in the Present

Living in the Present

Today was one of those days when not much was happening and I tended to look back to yesterday when I went to the sledge hockey game or look forward to church tomorrow. Really what I need to do is live in the present. Today I did work on the computer doing my Bible reading and adding notes. I also downloaded the book "Cost of Discipleship". We spent time in the computer room with visitors. That is a lot of living that I did do in the present and I am thankful for it.

Yes John, we do tend to look back sometimes instead of ahead... and then we look forward to something that might be coming up...I think it is a habit most of us have...whether good or bad...

Sounds like you have been busy on your computer. good for you!!!..It seems like you are getting very proficient with your work on it.

Our grandchildren left this morning. We must not be selfish as we had the enjoyment of thir love and laughter for two weeks... Oh the sweetness of children!!!

LOL

Calm in the storm - blessings and praises

1 ATV was on the trail minutes after Johns accident. He was able to get help ASAP while Laverne was able to stay and assist.

2 The cement blocks had been removed from the beginning of the logging road so that the ambulance could back in right away.

3 The nurses at the hospital were the right ones. One worked with John and one graduated with Laverne. They were Connie and Ellen.

4 Good friends Lee & Don, Bob & Pat were at the hospital quickly.

5 Laverne was able to fly with John on the Medivac helicopter as this is unusual.

6 In vancouver Beth Sykes a Cascades church friend was coming on shift on ICU after a week in Mexico.

7 Tom Freeman a friend was in town to Visit John the first day.

8 The many prayers and help. Those who have helped by taking DVBS, feeding cat, gathering belongings, (and bringing them down), and getting the bikes home.

9 Karen from 100 Huntley St called out friend Patricia and said she sensed that a close friend needed prayer.

10 Sister Eleanor was able to get a quick flight and be there before surgery.

11 John was able and ready to get a tracheotomy in good time instead of days or weeks later.
