No pictures taken today. I started two batches of dough to make rolls. Then I listened to the Bible on my phone in the morning. I got ready, then left at 8:30 to go to Cathy’s. Our road was icy and then it was all clear the rest of the way until I got on Cathy’s road and it was icy just like ours. Char was still there and I got to talk to her for a few minutes before she left. She is a sweet friend who has been Cathy’s caretaker for a long time. I stayed a half day today to help Cathy with whatever she needed me for. It sure was nice visiting and catching up on our families. We go way back to meeting in the 80’s, going to church together, then being close friends, then close neighbors and then becoming like family. She and Tim even had legal papers drawn up that if something happened to them, the kids would come live with us. The kids are grown now and have their own families. Cathy has had Parkinson’s for a long time now so needs help. She had a lump removed under her arm and it was cancer she told me today. I prayed over her right away as soon as she told me and am believing for healing in Jesus Name. Her mom had cancer five times and lived to be 98. We talked about all of the miracles we’ve seen and all of the answered prayer over the year. Then I played a couple of worship songs for her that she hadn’t heard. Her OT therapist came to give her therapy. Tim got up and made coffee and visited with me while Cathy did her therapy. He is on a swing shift which is really hard for him to get used to. He was so kind and thoughtful doing things for Cathy. She is blessed with a good husband. The therapist is working with her hands so she can move them better and also had her sit on the couch and put her arms up and bring them down quick so she could stand. The second time she tried she did it. Tim and I were so happy to see her do this. Cathy told me Melissa was her hero because she has seen Melissa go through so much and seen God do so many miracles.
I left at noon, and came home and started making rolls and letting them rise. I started reading a New King James Bible and am doing a Chronological Plan for reading it in a year. Melissa and her family are doing this plan, so I had her send me it. I read three chapters in Genesis today. I baked the rolls, then made pudding for a chocolate banana pie and also for a banana cream pie. Bill brought the table in from the garage, so I got the tablecloth on it all ready for tomorrow. I made cheesy potatoes which I will bake in the morning. I talked to Melissa for a while and had her start praying for Cathy too. Melissa said, She loved Cathy and commented on how she taught her so much. She, Vikki, and Kimmy were at their house a lot, and Melissa’s first babysitting job was watching their daughter Brittany. They were our kids second family! I had Vikki start praying too and I know Kimmy will read this tonight and start praying too. Cathy told me that Vikki sent her a worship song last week and how much it meant to her.
After dinner, I peeled lots of potatoes for mashed potatoes tomorrow. I covered them with water. I was so happy when I found out I could do that ahead of time. I also cut the ham off the bone and put it in the crockpot. It was a spiral sliced ham, but still needs lots of cutting up pieces. At 9 pm, I sat in my recliner by Bill and relaxed and worked on my blog.
