  4. Surely there is an analogy here with playing leap frog.

    Hope your conjunctivitis is better or gone. Your attitiude about this is pretty good! I am not so sure that I would have been able to relax in the 'down' time and find a brighter side quite so well.

  35. Good Morning Ruth Sweetie...
    What a beautiful share. I have my garden full of frogs, and I think of this little saying each time I walk by one of my flowers. Full Rely On God. I love it, and I thank you for bringing it to my memory again this morning.

    Hope you are having a beautiful weekend. Back to work tomorrow.

    Many hugs and so much love, Sherry

  38. Hi Ruth,
    What a precious post! I have a sister-in-law that loves frogs, so I have to tell her this!

    I wanted to tell you about something else too...it can be really helpful...I'm so sorry about your conjunctivitis...and naturally, medicine helps clear it up...But, when I was hurting from it before, someone told me a remedy for the pain...You take a tea bag and put it in boiling water for a few seconds. Then, you sit it on a plate and let it cool off completely. Then, you close your eye and rest the wet tea bag on it for a few seconds...it numbs it...I don't know how it works, but it does! The only kind of tea I tried it with was Lipton tea...

    But, I wanted to tell you that because it really helps the pain.

    I hope you're feeling better...God bless you.

  42. Ruth, you are a blessing to me all the way across the word! This is just want I needed to read. I can not come to the blog pages without tears lately, mostly happy tears but when I see others struggling like myself and my phamily I have to wonder if He pulled all of us together for His greater plan. I love knowing everyone here and will look forward to getting to know you better. Love, Hugs and Many Blessings Anne

  51. This is so true! I'm writing it down in my notebook so that I can remember. It's so easy to forget that we're in God's plan, and that we don't always get to know what that is. We need to fully rely on God to help us to understand! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
