Encouraging Words

Hey friends, Today is the last day for the Georgia Hospital Association Meeting and as I pack up the last few items and we head toward the airport, I wanted to share a few encouraging words with you. Earlier this morning Tom and I attended the GHA annual prayer breakfast.

We were encouraged to celebrate the great and wonderful things the Lord is doing in all our lives and to be diligent to encourage one another.

Here are just 2 verses that were shared this morning.

Col 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it will all your heart, as working for the Lord and not men."

This verse is a strong reminder to me to keep my eyes focused on the Lord no matter what work HE is calling me to, even if I "feel" like my tasks may be, ordinary, menial or even go unnoticed.

Luke 10:33-34 " But a Samaritan as he traveled came where the man was and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He want to him, bandaged his wounds pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey took him to an inn and took care of him."

Ministering to those the Lord puts in our pathway (More about these verses in a future post).

Yes, this meeting is about healthcare, it's triumphs, struggles and opportunities, but this prayer breakfast was also a glimpse into the heart and vision of the leadership of the GHA.

What a joy to hear men and women of faith share the Lord's grace and provision as they serve their communities through the vehicle of healthcare. 

I hope you will be reminded to celebrate the great and wonderful things the Lord is doing in your life, even if you can't see it, feel it, taste it, or touch it.

Will Return Shortly

Hey there Friends,
So sorry to be missing in action these days, the great remodel continues and my access to the Internet at home has been disconnected.
Tom and I are traveling every week this month on business so I will only be posting sporadically.

Happy summer days!!

Vacation

Hey friends,

We are packing the last few things before heading to the beach today for a week of sand, sun and surf. My sister Maria and her family are joining us from Dallas Texas, our best friends Lisa and Rudy with the daughter (our god-daughter) Mallory and then our kids are popping down for the weekend.

I'll try to post a few pictures while we are away.

We're planning a week of Wii tennis tournaments, Canasta and a Boccie Ball on the Beach.

Meanwhile the renovations will continue in our absence and the team will be completing the bathrooms and putting in some hardwood floors. Woo Hoo!

Happy Summer Vacation Friends

At this very moment this small opening is now being widen to accommodate a new cabinet in the Master Bath.

Here's the Master Bath before and during.

I can't wait to show you the large hole in the wall.

See you later friends, I'm off to choose tile and toilet tissue holders.

Stay tuned!
