Encouraging Words with Frankie and More Thoughts from Whispers of Rest

Mom and I had so much fun making our first Facebook Live Episode of Encouraging Words with Frankie.  In case you missed it, I’ll add the link: Click HERE to view. I also added the video below.

Day 3 of Whispers of Rest really spoke to me. “Come away with me by yourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” Mark 6:31

It is easy to be pulled away by busyness and stress, but it takes a toll on us.

What if God’s plan for us is not to be more busy but to be more loved?

Give yourself permission to step away and make some time to enjoy what fills you up.

Where do you experience God’s peace and rest?

What would your special time look like?

Breath Prayer:

Breathe Jesus’ name in and breathe out something you are thankful for.  Rest.

Loving my time with Mom, Roger and our sweet Ruby walks daily, breathing and resting.

Macular Degeneration Tips:

Talk to your eye doctor about vitamins. This is a hereditary disease. I take the Macular Health Formula Vitamins that my eye doctor recommended.

Mom had 2 cataract surgeries that helped for a little while, then had the shot in her eye.

Nothing really helped.

We bought every type of magnifier, glasses, lights, computer to TV enlarger, etc… and her site continued to fail.

Now she sees only a fog or mist and can distinguish forms. She no longer reads, but I did get her books on tape from SC Library.

We have also worked with the SC Commission for the Blind.

Good News! She can hear, thanks to Davis Audiology and their hearing aides and technology!

Check out Mom and Dr. Maggie

Have a great day, hear your world!
