Good Morning All! I'm finally back after many days off site.
It looks like our part of Texas is FINALLY going to get some much needed rain! We are still in a severe draught. Hopefully, we won't get it like the rest of the country--doing all the damage, etc. It is a cool 64 and a little windy outside this morning. I couldn't sleep so decided to get up and start the thread before going to work at the Food Pantry in town.
It has been a very busy two weeks between doctors appointments, therapies, volunteering, etc, etc, etc. I began seeing floaters in my eyes so made an appointment with my regular eye doctor. She did scans and said everything appeared alright. In fact, she was surprised that at 79, and having macular degeneration, my vision is exceptionally good. However, the next day she called me and said she rechecked the scans after work the night before and found what "could be a concern" and wanted me to see my eye SPECALIST. My appointment is about 50 miles away on Tuesday, the 21st at 1 pm. Needless to say, I am a little worried and am asking for prayers that it is not serious or is something that can be fixed.
I've also been working with an accompanist for a solo I am doing at the Methodist Church in town this Sunday. It is a song that I found while going through some of the darkest times in my life in the early 1990's. I first sang it in our church about 1995 with the encouragement of a dear and trusted friend. I got through it and it helped me so much. So, forward almost 30 years and I am singing it again. Various things caused me to give up as a soloist about 4 years ago. So, for the first time since then, I am gong to sing in church. You see, I have had 3 major throat surgeries over the years and each time was told I would never sing again, but I proved them wrong. So, again, please pray.
But on the UP side. I am happy with my life, my friends like you, and the fact that I can still be of Service to My Lord and others. I am truly Blessed and I wish that Blessing on ALL of you this day. May it be a great one! Must run now and get to the Food Pantry.
