FOR TODAY

Outside my window... it's dark outside now and was a rather dreary day.

I am thinking...of ways to eliminate the clutter and non essential items in my home

I am thankful for... my salvation through Christ


From the kitchen...nothing much today other than a german pancake for lunch.

I am wearing...red top with blue skirt 

I am creating... my blog

I am going... into town tomorrow.  It will be the first time that I've been there since the end of August.

I am reading... nothing, just finished a book last night and have not started a new one yet

I am hoping.. to find some suitable winter clothes tomorrow

I am hearing... Christian music from my cd player

Around the house... is music everywhere as I prepare Christmas music for my students.

One of my favorite things... is to read blogs about the Simple life

A few plans for the rest of the week: make some phone calls and hopefully start to clean my spare bedroom

Here is picture for a thought I am sharing... no picture today as I have not retrieved my photos onto my computer since it crashed.

Benefit Concert

Last Saturday night a couple of friends held a Benefit Concert for me to help raise funds to replace my modified van which bit the dust.  Here I am receiving a check for $500 from the Lions Club.  Muxh to my surprise their help does not end here as sme of the men are actively looking for a modified van for me as well as encouraging other local service clubs to help me out as well.


The evening started off with a potluck dinner and Silent Auction.  There were many donations made for the auction and I was amazed by all.  After dinner we went upstairs for a Concert.

The concert started off with Bell Ringers from Trinity United Church.  They sounded great and the visual part was very interesting.


They were followed by Levi Denbok a local Christian youth who is writing his own songs and doing very well.

Next was my son Andrew, playing the guitar and singing his own songs.  I felt very privileged that he would drive over from Peterborough to play in the Concert.  I love you Andrew.


The evening was finished with one song by me on the flute accompanied on the piano.  I played "My Tribute".


How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me?
Things so undeserved, yet you give to prove your love for me.
The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee
To God be the glory.  To God be the Glory.


Without God none of this would have been possible.  Amen.
