An Apple a Day: James 4:14 (NIV)
~"Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.
What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a
little while and then vanishes."
This is so true. We are only alive for a short while when
compared to eternity. I'm trying to live "just in the
present moment" and not look back or forward, just
at today, now, this moment. For indeed, we are not
promised our next breath, so let us live each moment
as if it were our last. Have a blessed moment!

Today Has Been a True Blessing!
Today was a very good day, and a busy day! My church (Restoration off of I-26 in Spartanburg, SC) is having it's 2nd annual "Girlfriends" event tomorrow evening. The first one was awesome, and I'm very excited about this one! I went this morning to help decorate for the event tomorrow. There were many volunteers there and it is an amazing feeling to be in the company of such loving and caring Christian women. We all worked together harmoniously and joyfully and was finished in record time. I am really thankful for a church that has so many friendly and compassionate people! We had a great lunch together (thanks Cathy!)and I left feeling truly blessed!
Next, I was in the company of my Parkie friends at Summit Hills Retirement in Spartanburg. Another group of very happy and optimistic people! It was the first PD exercise class that Summit Hills has graciously started for the Spartanburg Parkinson's support group! They are going to provide a class "Muscles in Motion" for us every 1st and 3rd Thursday, followed by snacks and fellowship. The Spartanburg PD Support group meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays at the Chapman Cultural Center for a Parkie dance class graciously taught by Carlos, our instructor! After the 30 minute class the support group "meet" and different resource providers and speakers inform us on various topics concerning Parkinson's. I have met so many new friends and I thank God for bringing such caring people into my life.
Today, I feel especially joyful and Blessed!Thank you Lord!

An Apple a Day: 2 Corinthians 16-18 (NIV)
~~16) Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day
by day. 17) For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all. 18) So,
we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but
on what is unseen. For what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Reminder for everyone (especially me)
Everything we suffer and endure here
on earth is for only a brief time when
compared to eternity. "This too shall
pass."

A big hello and welcome to my blog, Life Matters!
I want to share my exciting (or not) Sunday with you.
I must say it was exciting when I woke up this morning!
I'm thankful every morning the Lord lets me wake up and
I tell him so!
This morning started with my favorite cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats
with Almonds! Did you know this cereal only has 6 grams of
sugar per serving. The average cereals have 12+grams up to 20+grams
of sugar. Plus this cereal tastes great. I add in some raisins for their
sweet taste and I love raisins!
Next, I went to my home church Restoration and heard wonderful
praise and worship and a helpful message from my Pastor.
McDonalds for lunch - $1 large diet coke, $1.99 Grilled chicken wrap (with
Honey Mustard dressing) and a yogurt/fruit parfait! It is possible to
eat healthy at McDonalds!
Home for the remainder of the day. Watched Carolina Panther/New Orleans
game and my Panthers won!! 35-27
Napped after, ...... and the rest is pretty much the same. I rested on
the Sabbath! Busy week coming! I am looking forward to it!
