OUR STORY CONTINUES

The weekend is coming to a quick conclusion.  Right now I’m watching Peter Pan, because I’m in a flyaway mood.  After Chuck’s episode on Friday night, everything has gone well.  We had a close call Saturday night, but God gave me the wisdom to find a good solution.

Our grandkids, Leah and Zay spent Saturday night with us and brought their tent for a campout in our backyard.  After a pizza dinner, the kids and I walked to our mailbox, and Chuck was going to finish with the tent before his portable ran out of air.  As we approached the house on the return trip, Chuck was out front talking to a neighbor which allowed his portable to go dry.  He still needed to work with tent, but said he’d be okay.  This concentrator as a 50 ft hose and he said it would not reach to the tent area. 

Leah came in for flashlights, and we went to my room to get the flashlights from our nightstands.  She started to back out of our room and around the family room, when I remembered we have an outside door in our bedroom.  While Leah took the flashlights to Chuck and Zay, I grabbed Chuck’s hose, started his machine, and took the hose through our bedroom and out the door.  Surprise, the hose was long enough to go through our room and out the door.  He was shocked and immediately, he had air.

We had fun last night with Leah and Zay and got into many interesting conversations.  Zay doesn’t remember our trip to WDW when he was 4, so we got the pictures and went though the entire trip.  While viewing pictures of the Character Breakfast, I commented on a picture, “Oh, look, there’s Stacy and Laura with Pooh”.  The kids both broke into giggles and I soon join them. 

Today I made homemade spaghetti sauce.  This is Chuck’s favorite recipe for sauce.  It’s Rhu’s Marinara from myrecipes.com.  I triple the recipe and freeze sauce for use later.  This time I used diced tomatoes and had fresh basil and oregano from a neighbor girl, Hannah.  She grows vegetables and herbs to raise money for a trip to see the girl she sponsors through Compassion.

To prevent a situation similar to Friday night, we are going to start taking the portable concentrator in the car when we leave the house.  It runs on battery and can be charged in the car or by AC. 

A beautiful blackbird just landed on our fence, but it flew away before I could take a picture.  The birds here, in Arizona, are so colorful; nothing like the brown sparrows in California.  God has truly blessed this place.

Romans 8:38  And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[o] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
