LIMA OHIO

GOOD MORNING FROM LIMA, OHIO where we are visiting dear friends this week, 3 days after leaving Sue, Dana and kids in CA. They are doing well although Sue is now beginning the intial portion of a detox program which means more new things to take ... I did a sorta' spread sheet for her to help her figure out..before meals, after meals, with meals etc.
As usual she continues to walk through her days with great joy and thankfulness for the goodness of others to her family and especially the goodness of God in their lives.
In Ephesians today I was reminded that God has blessed me RIGHT NOW..TODAY.. with every Spiritual blesssing (not the physical blessings of this world, the 4 B's as my pal Dave Jones used to say: Beauty, Brawn, Brains & Bucks )but what really counts...EVERY spiritual blessing. He's not doling it out a little at a time..or waiting for me to earn or desrve it..it's there, given to me..us but we have to live in it, claim it.
Those blessing are what allow us to 'watch over our hearts with all diligence' as Proverbs 4 reminds us. We certainly can't do it without the Holy Spirit's work in us.
We're enjoying not only good friends here in Lima, but their good friends also and, as usual, lots of good food.
Today we're headed for a Flea Market and then who knows what...
Thanks for tuning in...Maxine
