Stress #1
Mid December we purchased a
new Hamilton Beach Micro-wave oven, from Wal-Mart. It worked for about one week
and then stopped dead. Nothing we did
could resurrect it.
Search as we did search, we could not find the receipt for the thing. Finally I phoned Wal-Mart and the nice lady said bring it and the box down to the store and we will help you.

The clerk asked if I would like
another microwave and I told her, 'No thank you, I don’t think so." Without any questions, they gave me a refund
gift card to reuse for what ever I needed.
Stress #2
Robert pulled our ladder in
place and climbed up and tried to secure the chain, but he began to feel
weak. As he came down the ladder and
stepped to the ground his knee gave way.
He fell scraping his back on some things stored there, and our Blue Tick
Hound that followed him began to whine.
Robert tried to right himself and he fell again.
Our dog continued
whining. Soon Robert was able to get up and
come into the house to tell me what happened.
I helped him remove his torn shirt and I applied ointment and a bandage
and gave him some water to drink.
Thankfully no bones were broken, but he was a shaken and emotionally
upset hubby.
Happy Stress #3 Actually No stress
Saturday morning Applebee’s
and a group of cooperating churches put on a fund raiser for Feed the
Poor. Tickets were $8.00 of which 4 went
to the project and 4 to Applebee’s for the food and the cooks. Volunteers from each church did the order
taking, serving and bussing. The
breakfast was a lovely success. Our
daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter along with Robert and me, were in
attendance.
Happy Stress #4
Our daughter’s family came home
with us and Dennis our son-in-law climbed our ladder and fixed the spring in
the door.

"I sure am glad no one was hurt. Life just keeps presenting us with all kinds of stress doesn't it? Glad for the rest and guidance of the Holy Spirit!" Nancy Kehr
Oh man, that scared me! Falling is one of the worst things! All those years on the roof can work against us when our bodies can't do what they once did, but our minds think they can... been there done that.
Glad to hear all is safe and sound. You've been blessed by family and friends, sister.
