Special Places in the Heart

I was at one of my favorite places, a Christian retreat at America's Keswick in Whiting, NJ from June 4-8.

A soothing sight first thing in the morning as I leave my room:

Here we are at breakfast - table under light fixture) and I am waiting with Carol and Babe to go into breakfast. (above)

On my way to the Raw's Auditorium for the morning session with Rev. Ron  Schmidt.  He was  interesting, entertaining and very knowledgeable.  This was his first time with the "Young at Heart" conference and I don't think it will be his last! 

Thanks

Thank God for dirty dishes

They have a tale to tell;

While others may go hungry

We're eating very well,

With Home, Health and Happiness

I shouldn't want to fuss,

By the stack of evidence,

God's been very good to us.

Another update:  I am doing  very well and adjusting to the fact that I don't have the energy I used to have - i.e. I won't be taking any "spin" classes anytime soon that's for sure!  It is enough, though, that I can participate in my church and I do volunteer for some light duty activities from time to time.  We are still knitting for local hospitals and this time we are making "preemie hats" for the little ones.  I love making them - they are so cute!



Just letting you all know that I am thinking of you all and will get back to visiting all of you very soon and letting you know how much I appreciate all your prayers.  God is so good - All the time!
