Thankful Thursday

Thankful for my:

So thankful for having peace and remembering:

Thankful for my beautiful roses!

Thankful for the time I have to meditate on God's Word and express it in different ways.

Thankful for the many who are helping Clovid 19 patients. The girl 3rd from the right is my niece. Her group is getting ready to go into the Covid unit. They are smiling as they prepare to serve. They are true women of valor.

Thankful for my Bible study group. A whole generation of people from Exodus did not see the promise land because they grumbled. They could not see the what the Lord had done for them. Fear kept them from moving forward and though God showed them His power, they did not trust in Him.

1. If there's a personal god, what quality would you most like that person to have (and why)? There is a GOD and He posses many qualities. Love, grace and mercy are the ones that mean the most to me.

2. What's your death-row meal? Ground beef and potato tacos the way I learned from my mom.

3. Assuming we make it through this outbreak with minimal loss of life, what do you think our big takeaway should be? To be prepared. Our government should allocate the money needed to fight this from many directions. People who study viruses and other professionals should work together and then tell the government what needs to be done. Many thing should be made here and not in another country. Medical equipment needs to be made year round and then stored so that it is available. I have been making face mask for my daughter and her office. They had to turn in their good mask to the hospital and are limited with the ones they have.

I made my daughter one that has 3 layers. I had to make ties because there is no elastic. Once she wore it at work, her doctors and nurses have asked for one. I heard that 45 doctors have died in Italy. We don't need to spend billion of dollars for walls and space programs if we can't even keep a virus from spreading globally without the means to battle it.

4. Whom do you find yourself missing more than you would've predicted? Before this virus thing, my parents. Now I miss seeing my kids and grand kids the most. I miss my friends.

5. What brings you the most joy? Not happiness, not contentment -- JOY.Joy for me is having a personal relationship with the Lord. Joy is knowing that all my family believes in Jesus and know matter what happens on Earth, we will all be together forever in Heaven. My family is my joy. When I am with them, both my immediate and siblings and family, I am joyful!

6. Do you find yourself regretting anything you've said or done on social media?No. I was taught if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all.

7. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your body and face?I like the smooth skin texture of my face which is pretty good for my age. But since I lost weight, my skin is sagging. But overall okay with it. My tummy is my least favorite.

8. and your life? My most favorite is my family which includes my dog. My least favorite is having osteoporosis because I can't do the things I want to do.

9. How's the self-isolation affecting your libido? I am doing fine but that is too personal a question.

10. Which three places in the physical universe would you most like to visit? I am fine here on Earth and our next trip is going to be in Maui. I wanted to go to New York and DC with hubby but now I don't think so. I would like to go to Yellowstone with my family. If I could afford it I would like to go to the Holy Land.

11. On whom did you have a crush years ago? Have you ever told them? I have been married for 45 years and hubby was the last crush so yes he knows.

12. How have your religious views changed since you were in high school? Yes they are stronger and I understand so much more know. Less legalistic. I have more grace than I did probably because of the grace I have received.

13. If you could change one law, what would it be?No high power assault weapons allowed for most people. I do believe in having regular firearms.

14. If you could add one commandment to the original ten, what would it be? I would not change it because God wrote it.
