"I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found"

"I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found"

I got such a great deal!  A periwinkle blue $120.00 jacket from Coldwater Creek for $12.00! Sunday  I wore it to Publix, in my power wheelchair on a beautiful blustery day.  Once back home again I began to take the bags of groceries off of the back of my wheelchair and discovered my beloved jacket was missing! I said out loud "Lord I am too tired to ride back to Publix two miles down the road."  I started to get upset but decided to let it go.  It was only $12.00.
Later that evening my neighbor gave me a call.  "Did you ride down to Publix today?"... "Yes..."
Her husband and sister in law went for a long walk w/ the dog.  About a mile away they found a periwinkle blue Coldwater Creek Jacket on the ground.  "Hey!  That's an expensive jacket!  Karen likes that color!  Let's take it back to her!"
Once it was in my neighbors hands she remembered that I had Facebooked in my blog about my new Periwinkle jacket and sent it back to me.
"I once was lost but now I'm found."
Now THAT'S a God wink!
Celebrate the day!

Saturday"s Grace Notes

Saturday"s Grace Notes
Godiva Coffee first thing in the morning, my new vanilla flame less candles," driving myself" in my powered wheelchair down to have Chinese food and hitting the neighborhood garage sales, teaching Saturday morning voice lessons, reminding myself, yet again, "it's NOT all about me" and "get over my sweet self", meeting new neighbors  and listening to great music on Pandora Radio.
Celebrate the day!

Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes
Going to church!, strangers becoming friends, friends becoming family, I found the lid to my rice steamer!  This is big!, a neighborhood open house, the wind rustling through the lemongrass, I stopped pleading, I stopped begging, and God is now giving me, manna from Heaven.
Celebrate the day!

Thursday's Grace Notes

Thursday's Grace Notes
Driving to Publix to go grocery shopping using the electric cart... first time in three long months!  Woohoo!, my neighbor Megan helping me unload the car, :) my new recording of "Killing Me Softly" with guitar and voice, meeting my new 16 year old art student, (we are going to have fun), waking up in the very early morning light with drizzly rain to enjoy quiet time and Bible study (what a great way to start the day), my friend Ralph cutting back our huge oak tree and lots of groceries to cook, create and share with people.  I love to cook!
Celebrate the day!

Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes
More singing engagements for piano, voice and guitar, finding hidden clothes in my closet that fit, reconnecting with my neighbors, cozy and overcast Sunday mornings, making up new recipes, and keeping a song in my heart.
Celebrate the day!
