On Eagle's Wings

On Eagle's Wings
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:29-31

Another Blustery, but Blessed Day

I mentioned the Texas winds yesterday in the spring hodgepodge. This is what I'm talking about!!!

Last night North Texas had some serious storms with lots of wind, rain and large hail that knocked out car windshields and windows of people's homes.

Today I had the privilege to visit another nursing home. What a great day for us and them. Or them and us!? It was a good day for everyone.

We sang.


Read the Easter story.


Passed out candy
and had drawings for nice door prizes.



Festive balloons.

We prayed for the residents and the staff who take care of them.

What a blessing these people are and how sweetly they responded to the attention, the story, the songs and our prayers. They all wanted to be prayed for individually.

It was a somewhat bittersweet time to visit this particular nursing home as I recalled my mother-in-law having been a resident there for several years. DH was there every day that he didn't have to work a 24 hour shift and I made up the difference on the days he worked. Our presence there ensured that she would be well taken care of.

My car has been giving me fits the last couple of weeks and today on my way home:

Check engine light

The car is in the shop now and you know, of course, what that means.
