For what is good.

Let's do a tally board.  What is good?

-God loves me and I love Him.

-Gene is safe in his arms never to be tempted or drawn away under ANY circumstance.

-All of our children love the Lord and express it in their words and actions every day.

-Hunter had to have a mole removed in December and it WAS NOT melanoma.

-We may have found a dermatology clinic that can truly address our unique needs here on the Eastern Shore.

-Puller was reinstated on Gene's [now my] insurance for the next 4 months.  This will enable him to get multiple medical things done that he has been needing [read this first as wart removal-ick!!!!]  Then move on to new glasses and dental work.

-Kate is employed

-Hunter has been recommended for rehire at last year's job

-Hunter tested very well on entrance exams at Wor/Wic in the English test and can retest on the math at no cost.

-We will probably qualify for school financial aide

-I think I found an online nurse refresher course that is only 15 weeks not a full year as I was previously told.

-The driveway got flattened --thanks to Tim!!!! and Jamie and Hunter and Puller

-Insulation is in both attic and under the house  thanks to Richard, Shawn, Paul, Hunter, Clay, Jacob and Puller

-Dry wall has been repaired thanks to Richard

-Painting is planned and two have volunteered to help me do it thanks to Becky and Abby!

-Mold is gone from the bathroom!  Thanks to Abby and Jamie

- New screen doors are installed and a light is up so we can see the walk way.

-I got the deal of a century on the purchase of a refrigerator

-I found a stove/oven with a pilot light [I had thought they could not be purchased anymore!]

-I am still sane.

-I read the whole bible this year!

-See....... things can be found to give thanks for ....but I must set my mind to that which is.....

Philippians 4:8

King James Version (KJV)

 8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

or in a very modern version....



Philippians 4:8

The Message (MSG)

 8-9Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

AND believe it or not that is not all!
