Freda's Thoughts "Turning the Page!"

There won't be any party at our house - no booze, no waiting up for midnight; these don't make life any better!  But there will be prayers, asking the Lord for forgiveness, mercy, grace and His blessing on any time He gives us beyond this moment!  The new year belongs to Him!
Please leave your comments to encourage Sister Freda, as she continues to struggle with what might lie ahead for her.  Thanks!  And may God bless you in the coming year as well!

Freda's thoughts "Lost & Found, in Space"

In her 94 years, Freda has had quite an interesting life!  I'm so glad that she decided to share some of it with us on this blog site.  I pray that you feel that her posts have enriched you in some way.  Please keep her in your prayers, as she heads toward the end of her time on earth. And please leave your comments to encourage her.  Thanks!

Freda has picked up some extra encouragement and strength from some friends and loved ones.  She is still meeting her challenges on a day to day basis, but now with more hope.
She could certainly use your prayers and words of encouragement. Thanks.

Summer lingers into November!

These are my roses, in front of the house!

 

Freda's Thoughts "Time for a change!"

Freda wishes to thank all who are praying for her.  At age 94, she is doing pretty good, but it is still only by God's Grace, to be able to make it day by day. 

We are both hoping that you will be exercising your right to vote this coming week in the national elections. The Lord will be in charge of the results, exercising His Will for our nation.  Let us look to Him, trusting that He will be pleased with our devotion to Him and bless us!

There is another change to make this weekend: those who need to go off "daylight savings", need to turn their clocks back one hour!

May you be blessed and, if you would, please leave a comment to encourage Freda.  Thanks.

Freda's Thoughts "My Fall Ailments"

I hope you aren't too disappointed in finding this post, instead of one of Freda's memories!  She really could use your prayers.  At age 94 yrs., she has her many ailments to contend with; but she is still able to cope pretty well with all of them.  This one, as she says, comes once or twice each year. Sometimes it is worse than other times.  This time it also comes at a time when I'm sure her mind is on other things. It was at the end of this month that her husband, of almost 6 decades, died.  It has been about 20 yrs. ago now, I believe.  Even though she doesn't mark that death date, I'm sure it still crosses her mind.  So an extra prayer would help her for that too!

I would ask that you leave an agreeable comment, to encourage her in writing out these posts each week, but not mention her husband's passing when you leave one this time. Thanks.

Freda is a very special lady and she really does like to share her memories with you.  At her age, we don't know how much longer she will be able to do that!  So, if you appreciate her posts, please let her know.  Thanks again!
