Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

Bumper wheelchairs...

1 Thessalonians 5:16,17 and 18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I read this passage today on another blog that I follow. It came after a tiring day of trying to be caregiver to my T at home. I get frustrated because I'm not as strong as I'd like to be. Bob gets frustrated. I get frustrated. Then both of us get weak and snippy. I have to remember to give thanks for the circumstance. Statistically, I'm lucky to have the opportunity to be in this situation.

On a lighter note, we played "Bumper wheelchair". We had always joked that when we get old and are in wheelchairs, and if we should ever argue, we'd attack each other by running into each other with our wheelchairs. Well, we weren't arguing, we were just playing. And, you'd think, the more experienced wheelchairee would win. I didn't! Bob was able to shove me far enough, that if the front door was open, I would have been out in the front lawn. hahaha...

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I choose to trust You. I cast my cares on You. I give You my plans, dreams, and desires for the future. Thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your peace as I wait patiently to see Your plan unfold. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
