I've been pretty quiet on this blog for a month now - lots of irons in the fire. Biggest thing consuming my time has been visiting doctors and resolving my leg issues. Solution - surgery. Yes - scheduled for hip surgery after we return from our November pilgrimage to Portugal - France - Spain. Once home - instant cure - I wish.
In other news I have been working on our October 2018 pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Just today I received news that we are being offered additional discounts to help keep those costs lower so more people can afford this once in a lifetime experience.
If anyone is interested - our travel dates are October 24 - November 1, 2018. We already have nine people signed up for this pilgrimage and have room for another thirty. You may click the link below to take you to our information page.
Now that school is back in session and Labor Day is lurking just around the corner - we can start to breathe a little easier and take some time to focus on ourselves - while the young ones are in school. This is not being selfish - it is important that as adults we keep ourselves in good shape - physically - mentally - spiritually - so that we can be the best we can be - for ourselves - our families. Taking time for ourselves helps keep us focused on the important things in life.
God blesses each of us every single day - blesses us with so much that we miss - ignore - many of His blessings - in the busyness of coping with daily life. All too often we become so focused on the big picture that we forget about - small things - like self. To be able to do all that He asks us to do - we must first and foremost - make sure that we keep our eyes focused on the Lord - all that He asks - all that He gives. Looking straight ahead - eyes and mind - focused - renews us - energizes us - for all tasks at hand.
