"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love." 
"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body."

The doctor 
seemed happy 
with the condition of my daughter's 
neck lymph nodes . . . he said that some that he was concerned about, for they were hard, have loosen greatly 
. . . Glory Be To God! 
. . . we are still waiting for the blood results to be completed ( some things he is checking on are Mononucleosis syndrome & Epstein-Barr virus) but until then we are to schedule an appointment 
with Children's Hospital in Washington DC to have her re-examined by a doctor there & then surgery to have them drained . . .
I was talking to a friend of mind & she told me that when her son was in 5th grade he had contracted Mono 
. . . guess how he got it? And nope it was not by smooching 
.
. . from a drinking fountain!!! can you believe that? mmmmm- mmmm-mmmmm 
. . . the ironic thing here is the other day I was just thinking about drinking fountains . . . I was looking at them & pondering what virus/germs/kooties they may yeild & how, if there was anyway, you could possible prevent them 
. . I was thinking how in the restrooms you find the sinks are all automatic now . . . wave your hand in front of them & they turn on . . . some places it is the same with the soap dispenser, paper towel dispenser & even the tiolet will flush on its own . . . many stores now have bacterial wipes available for you to wipe down the cart 
handles before you use them . . . we have doors that open & close as we approach . . . so as passing a water fountain I begin thinking about that area . . .truth be told I am not sure how you may be able to prevent germs gathering there . . . I am thinking when ever possible just to play it safe we are going to start carring a water bottle with us . . .
Yesterday our area experienced an earthquake 
. . . magnitude 5.8 . . . let me tell you that was - interesting!!!! 
Today is my youngest first day of back to school . . . she is entering fourth grade & last evening 
she cried herself to sleep 
. . . so today we are going to strengthen our faith & believe that God is protecting her & it will be a good day!
God, I need Your calming voice in my troubles. Please help me. I will praise You because You give me Your peace and strength. Amen
