Good Morning this Beautiful Saturday Morning

Hi Everyone sorry I have not posted for a week it has been a busy week. I'm not really missing the work thing as I have been so busy. First of all Let me begin by saying: " God is Good all the Time" "His mercies are new every morning" The back pay arrived in our bank account on Thursday evening. Praise the Lord. Property taxes are paid. . . . . I can't begin to tell you what a relief it has been. It has been the longest 2 years and 9 months of my life and Kenny's tooo I am sure. What a realm of unknown to travel the waters of disability. I would NOT wish the process even on an enemy. YUK! But... Praise the Lord we have lived to tell about it. Thanks to you our friends who have helped us through. I could not and Kenny could not have made it through this trial with out your love, prayers concern and help. You are all so very special to both of us. I hope I have the opportunity to tell each of you that very soon.
Now I don't mind being laid off. Can't tell you how good I feel physically. My hips aren't aching my back isn't aching , my left wrist is still a problem but hey if I can stand without hip pain I'm pretty happy.
I have been able to knit a baby afghan for a new baby boy. I'm 1/2 way done. I'm excited it is beautiful. I would not have been able to do that if I were working ft. I miss people , I'm lonely. But it is in a good way. My house has never been so under control ! That is a good feeling...
Well Please pray for the Lords' wisdom and guidance to be on us as we pay bills. and make a few purchases that we have needed . Discernment. A big deal. Thanks for your prayers. Love you... Jenny

God is Good!

Hi ! God is good all the time. He put a song of praise in this heart of mine.
God is good ,God is Good all the time.
If you re walkin through a valley and there are dangers all around
Do not fear, He will guide you He will keep you safe and sound.
He has promised to never leave you, nor forsake you.
AND HIS WORD IS TRUE ! God is Good all the time....Remember that old chorus. It has been rolling through my head all day. Thant and the Scripture to leave no stone unturned. I have that house DONE! 4:30 this evening. I can hardly walk or stand following that whole mess. It sure is pretty now . I so would have said no to the job had I seen it before I started. It was so bad.... I just can't tell you. I have been shaking my head all day. Kinda in disbelief. You can't imagine.
Well I have other good news, My good friend Cindy called today and was able to offer me a ticket to the Moody women's conference tomorrow at Parkside Church! YEA!!!! I so wanted to go and couldn't afford it. Then today when I thought I could swing it, I called Parkside to see if there were any tickets available, the woman in charge of that was out of the office so I left my number waiting for a call back. . . . . . Thant's when Cindy called! Yippeee. I am so looking forward to going. I can't wait to tell you all about it. It is for my heart you know...:)
Well the poultry spent the night in the barn, all were present and accounted for this morning and then yet again this evening.. That's a good sign. Gotta get the fencing on top of the coop, but we will soon. I don't want the Howly Growly to come calling .... That would be so saaaaaadddd.
That is about all I needed to say. i hope you are blessed this night. Love you,.~~~J

What a pretty springtime day!

Hi .... I'm tired. I am working so hard! I cleaned a house all day today and yet tomorrow for a woman whom I don't know. She needed this done a they are about to show her house and it is crazy dirty. I wanted to come home and clean. God forbid I die unexpectedly and someone has to come in here and clean up after me......EEEEEIIIIIIICCCCCCCHHHHHHH
I am not nor will I be a smoker. You can't imagine what that does to your walls , carpet , woodwork and windows, Oh my gosh. YUK,
The home is on the historical register which is really quite charming. It's in the Glen if your're familiar with that. It is an old brick tudor, cute . Will be cuter yet when I get the mouse dirt under control ! I am not kidding,,,,,, Think what you will, as I have all day ! In your free time wipe down your kitchen shelves K? Love ya .

He's Alive !

Hallelujah! He 's ALIVE!
He Lives
I serve a risen savior , He's in the world today;
I know that he is living, whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him He's always near,
He Lives, He Lives, Christ Jesus lives today,
He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way,
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know him?
HE LIVES WITHIN MY HEART!

Remember that old hymn? I do. Standing in the old oak pews of Berlin Center United Methodist Church with my dad to my right and my mom to my left. I still can hear him singing...
Praise the Lord I was raised in a home with a mom and dad that loved the Lord. Because of their guidance I am now free to praise the Lord on this pretty , sunny Easter Morning!

Holly is home, Kenny is well and I am free to love them and you because he lives!



Love to you this Easter Morn...~J

Spring is happening all around me ! YAY!!!

Here comes spring time. It is happening all around. Yay , i am so grateful that there was no snow on the ground today... I was able to move the babies outside for some sunshine while i cleaned up the basement. You will have to check out their pictures. I will post them here too . ( I just put them on facebook). I am so pleased, Kenny and I have the garden ready, and started. planted peas today. We are going back down over the front hill and gonna plant sweet corn there. Pumpkins, gourds and melons there too. Up here behind the house is where i keep the hard to manage things, tomatoes, beans , peas, peppers, beets, lettuce etc. I have all this time on my hands to do these things now with out working, which is now kinda nice, I just know it is only for a short time as I'll be back to work and all this I have prepared will look like crap 'cause I won't have the time to keep it looking nice. I was able to hang clothes on the line too.... A productive day. Now tomorrow is good Friday. I don't think I have ever had the day off. I miss the old time boyscout fish dinners. I miss my dad. I joined the Ellsworth fan club as well as the Western Reserve fan club, speaking of my dad and Ellsworth... Be blessed this night. I am glad spring is springing! Love to you ~J

I wish there were more font options for my blog. I feel so limited.... I'd like to be different all of the time and this is not the different I am looking for !
Hello Friends! Nice to see you here today.... I guess things are looking up for me. Not in any specific ways, but I guess I'm getting use to this schedule. I have my dear friend Anneliese' home beautifully clean an d"Thparkley" but not mine..... I guess on this rainy day that is what I should be doing here. We have Abbey's 2nd Birthday party tonight ! I am Really Excited about it !!!! I have to make a mexican dish to share and then, we have to find her a present... Shopping for a little girl is about one of my most favorite things in the world to do. Any time we are in a store Kenny stops by the girl things and pulls out an Abbey outfit a Molly outfit and an Emily outfit ! We sure enjoy those girls, and Ryan too of course. What a blessing to have friends to share their children with. Kenny babysits Abbey and Ryan one day a week, They enjoy him . It tickles me. When Holly was 7 she enjoyed Kenny too. It is when she turned 13 that the world changed. Now she is 20. Things aren't the best between them but they are not the worst either. Fun to see it coming around. Kenny gives her the space she deserves - usually- She gives him the space he deserves - usually- Works fairly well that way.
Had a fun day yesterday.... Melda and I took Kerrianne to Malone to visit the school. What a nice college. Wish I could go there... :) She is thinking she wants to go to Bethany. We'll see...... The back window - the rear windshield- of her van exploded as we were driving on 77. Scary ! Never had that happen to me before. We are all fine the glass is replaced but whew, that was weird !

what a beautiful pool.....

Hi Friends, This is the swimming pool at Hotel Hershey in Pa, where we were on our little " retreat" last week. We had so much fun. There a grand piano in the lobby where a pianist sits and plays all day, the music in turn is "piped " throughout the common areas of the hotel. I went to the pool to swim Friday morning, Just me a Beethoven! How cool is that ! I swam laps to classical music. I think this was the prettiest pool I have ever swam in ! I loved it!
Still no work, no news, no check, no kidding ! I received my unemployment stuff in the mail today. I have it all in order, benefits should begin in two weeks. does that just make you shake your head. ? . It does me! God is in control, he has it all figured out, and I just need to trust him. I do . I am . I will....
Love to you this night. Be Blessed!~J
