Happy Thanksgiving

My favorite Thanksgiving Hymn...We Gather Together...

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Sunday, November 16

Hello all--

I was blessed by the following

~On Saturday, I went to breakfast with friends at Cafe Marie's

~On Saturday, it was my first day at a new job and the people training me were excellent...it is so important to have good trainers...I would say "I'm sorry to ask where such and such is." and they would pleasantly say no problem, how would you know if you did not ask.

~On Friday, I worked with a person (at another job) in which she and I were not communicating effectively...I cried (I rarely do at work)and talked to a supervisor with the person because it was that bad. For the rest of our shift from there we were more at ease with each other-I am glad that she now knows if her and I not on the same page, I am going to get a supervisor

I am thankful for two things today...

1) that we celebrate our Veterans-who have served our Country-I count it a privilege to have a Grandfather still alive from World War II

2)I am thankful that the Lord lead me to the health career field...It felt "weird" recently to actually turn down a job interview because I did not need the job in this tough job market..

Busy and New Mexico

Hi All,

I have been keeping really busy. I am blessed. I will try to maintain this blog as I think it is important to remember to "smell the roses." I work with so many elderly people that it reminds me of life's short journey.

One of my roses...if you will...my friend from New Mexico came to visit. She lives in New Mexico now but she is from near my hometown (how we met). She was visiting her family and made a stop for us to visit. It was such a blessing.
