Family Matters

Hi friends and fellow bloggers,

I will be away visiting and helping an elderly family member for the next several weeks. I will be busy sorting, purging and packing for a move. If I find something of interest to blog about in my sorting and packing or in my visit, I will pop in again. Otherwise, I expect it may be a bit quiet for me on the blogging front for awhile.

In the meantime, I encourage you to search around my blog as there are many different subjects covered within it's almost 300 posts. If you have time please also check out Missions of Hope website and blog here.

While I am away I hope to have more time for study of God's Word and meditating on it. I've been somewhat lax in that area of late.


I hope that each of you finds something of joy and usefulness to do with your hands or your mind or both as we transition into a new season weatherwise. All the best until I read you or hear from you.

Bless you my dearest friend as you go and help others. Enjoy your time alone. You will hear the Lord's voice in your quietness, if even just to share with us here on your post later. (((Hugs))) Jo

Thank you dear Jo. I had a good ride to my destination and made it safe and sound. I am now set up with my trusty laptop and will make my way to local hospital for visitation Monday. Hugs xx

Bless you for thinking of New Zealand's earthquake victims.

Wish you were blessed by lot of strength, taking care of an elderly is difficult task, but rewarding.

Take care

Dear Glennis, I pray the Lord would strengthen and comfort all of you there and send others to help you rebuild.

Jade, thank you for your considerate words. Taking care of the elderly is indeed hard work and I do need strength to carry it all out in love. God bless you xx
