Looking Forward

I went to school today for a staff meeting! Looking ahead to next year -just plain wonderful. As I was going through some things in my little music office, I found papers from before I became ill in January 2009! It made me sad to realize how much time I have missed at school. But now I can look onward and forward!
Yesterday I went to the doctor's to have my shoulder checked out. I had an x-ray done just to rule out any bone problem. I'll continue with physio again tomorrow and try not to do too much activity with my left arm.
Have a good evening!

Love, Sandra

Blessed Assurance

Had to give my arm a bit of a rest before I wrote up this blog. I played piano for both services today and practised piano in between at home, too, and I could tell. My left arm (especially the shoulder) was rather achy after this evening's service. It was so good to play though. What an awesome way to praise and worship God - through music and singing!
"Blessed assurance: Jesus is mine!
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long."

Singing His praises,
Sandra

Creation Sings!

This evening my niece already returns to Alberta. That time went fast but it was very good. Yesterday morning I went to school to join the staff and students for the closing chapel. Last year at this time I had made a DVD message for the students because I wasn't able to physically be at school. Now, a year later, I am feeling good and my immune system is strong enough to be in crowds. Praise God for healing mercies!
Last night my niece and I went for a walk on Eagle Mountain. The views up there are spectacular. I had never walked up there before. Wow! God sure created a beautiful world! What an awesome responsibility we have as stewards of that creation. Makes you feel pretty small, and yet so special that God holds each one of us in the palm of His hands.
OK, we're off to the library and to run a few errands. Have a good afternoon!

In Him,
Sandra

The Longest Day

My niece and I had a slow, relaxing start to our day. We went into town to run some errands, and talked quilting for awhile. We started planning a new quilt to make - maybe we'll have time to begin that tomorrow sometime.
Today was the longest day of the year - June 21 - first day of summer. I can't believe that next week will be July already!
Time for bed... I have to get up on time tomorrow morning so I can go to school for grade 5 chapel.
Goodnight!
Love, Sandra

Sparkle of Light

What a beautiful day it was! We had a garage sale in our complex and I participated, too, with the help of family and friends. It was just so nice to sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous weather. A perfect day to enjoy the sunshine! My brother put up lights around my deck and now I can hardly wait until it's dark enough so I can enjoy the sparkle of light.
My niece and I are relaxing now. We're tired from our busy day and last night my shoulder bothered me so much that I woke up from the pain. Ugh... that shoulder of mine! Tomorrow we will go to my mom and dad's to celebrate Father's Day.

Love, Sandra

Saying hello...

This afternoon I was at school again, joining a couple of grade four classes. I so enjoy seeing the students and just being there in that environment again.
One of my nieces from Alberta is arriving here tomorrow morning and she's staying for almost a week. It will be wonderful to have her company and I do have a list of things to keep her busy (...and she thought she was coming for a holiday!).
My supper is ready. Have to go...

Till next time,
Sandra

Ahh...rest!

Oh my! What a lazy day today. Yesterday I was on the go all day. I left the house at 10:00 a.m. and didn't get back home until 9:30 p.m.! I was at school most of that time, and then went out visiting after that. Whew! It was a wonderful day and I enjoyed every minute of it. Today the recliner was my favourite spot and reading was the most strenuous activity. I had my second massage therapy session this afternoon. Just trying to get that lymph drainage system going. I sure hope it will work and maybe then my shoulder will heal quicker as well.

Love, Sandra
