The perfect family

As those of you who REALLY know me can tell, I so DESPARATELY want to be PERFECT!!  This drive for perfection has helped me in many ways but, to be perfectly blunt, it has nearly killed me more than once!!!


I so love my family, though, and they know it and this is probably my greatest source of joy in life!  What is REALLY funny is that, just as I have learned a bit about dealing with imperfections in myself and my family, THEN God gave me this poem.


I dedicate this to all of you out there who want to have the perfect family!  This is how to do it!

How To Create The Perfect Family

You will need:
1 large house
3-6 people, depending on how long you want to wait for it to be done
3 cups of pets
2 cups of patience
3 ounces of anger/frustration
3 quarts of laughter
4 teaspoons of trust
And last but definitely not least,
Lots and lots of love

First, open the house, and make sure that it will be the right size for your family. Mix the desired amount of people with the pets, carefully so you don't damage them. In a separate bowl, stir the love and laughter together. Set aside. Taking each person separately, evenly distribute the patience and trust, making sure that each one gets an equal amount (Failure to distribute evenly may lead to different recipe! See recipe for "My impatient family" for details...). Carefully open the bottle of anger/frustration. Using a Q-tip, dab small portions of the anger/frustration onto each person. Lastly, take the love and laughter and sprinkle it all over the house, pets, and people. Let sit until all parts of the recipe are thoroughly combined, and voila! Your Perfect Family is complete.

Missing dad on his first birthday after his death

My dad loved 4 part harmony and he taught me to value it highly also.  Today dad would have turned 85 and I'm missing him like I never thought I would.  I offer this collection of men singing praises to God just like my dad did most of his life.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I am.

A bulldog

You may think that bulldogs are beautiful.  I just saw a site that swore up and down that they are but I have never thought so.  Maybe it's because, when I'd look at my sad expression in the mirror while growing up, I looked too much like this!  I mean what was there to be happy about????

Now, as I searched for a photo to depict my endless search for good health, I thought of this image.  I cannot count the times that I gave up at the end of a long day of reading and pondering and experimenting.  I can't even imagine how many times I prayed that death would come during the night so that I wouldn't have to face another day of endless, constant, never-ending pain.

Physical pain; emotional pain; mental pain; spiritual pain; familial pain; Earth-concerns pain; farmer related pain; child raising pain; home schooling pain; lost another baby pain; gardening failures pain; big, fat, pig pain; failure at business pain; failure with my health pain; never-ending, ever-growing, wishing-I-was-dead PAIN!!!!

I firmly believe that, if I were not madly in love with the God of the Bible who brought me through EVERY pain that I have had to endure, I would have shot my brains out countless times already.  I really have lost track of the times that He talked me out of it--or out-and-out prevented it.  I only know that He was ALWAYS there to help me see some small glimmer of hope that tomorrow may bring to my weary body/mind. 

Recently my King chose to answer my countless questions for how to heal my thyroid (which affects almost every aspect of health) in a marvelous way.  It's called, "THY HYPOTHYROIDISM REVOLULTION."  Please do not Google Tom Brimeyer and read what a quack he is.  Of course the medical community is doomed to close their minds to the true answers that God gives His people through independent researchers who aren't bound to close their minds to the real answers many people in pain are searching desperately for. 

Instead I urge you to listen to this video and see if it doesn't make sense to you as it did to me.  Then dig into this health program like a bull dog.  Read it all and start just one part of it and see if you don't feel a little better.  Start drinking orange juice with gelatin added and see if your bowels start working on their own for the first time in decades.  Do it at night and see if you start sleeping better.  Cut out grains calmly as you add in healing broths to help heal the gut.  Cut out foods that are harming your thyroid and start to have more energy. 

Learn all about this amazing new approach to healing the thyroid here!  I have found it to be well worth my time and money to study Tom's approach.   http://www.hypothyroidismrevolution.com/

GO ON.  Let the bulldog in you try once again to find the answers to your many health challenges that most likely are linked to poor thyroid/liver function.  What have you got to loose but a grumpy expression.

Here's to US survivors!  I am so proud of us and I am positive that God is pleased to!!!

Hugs,

Dawn

     

Not much hope

Today there is not much hope in my heart.  I keep messing things up!  Ever feel that way? 


Trying to be thankful for who I am!

Today's discovery

Every time I feel led to write here, I ask the Lord what He would have me to share with His people. This morning I felt led to go to Youtube and search for lily pond.  This is what I found.  It made me miss sweet Summer all over again.  When will I ever learn to love the Fall season????


Happy Sabbath beloved friends!
