The Last Flowers of Fall

Well, we picked the last flowers in our yard while we were harvesting the rest of our garden's vegetables and fruit. It was bittersweet for us, because we loved our summer. But the first snowfall is coming tomorrow and the harvesting of flower and food had to be done now or never...

I thank any and all of you who offered prayers in behalf of our family this week. My husband and I have mostly stayed happy and positive, while re-thinking our lives. Currently, we are contemplating a complete change...Mark would like to leave sales of any kind. He is tired of the stress associated with those types of jobs, especially in a worsened economy. He is considering becoming a teacher. His degree in Sports Science/Exercise Physiology, as well as his experience as a national classed athlete, qualifies him to coach track & field at some nearby school. I think he would be very good at that. The pay would be small, but we could supplement it several different ways that we are still discussing.

We can still use prayers and we are deeply grateful for them.
God bless,
Elizabeth

Thank You So Much!

To all of you who have said prayers in our behalf, my husband and I are so grateful. Currently, Mark is holding his own. Although he cannot raise his right arm past about the point where he would shake hands, if that makes any sense, he is not in terrible pain anymore. He's in doable pain. He is having trouble sleeping and driving a stick shift (one handed!). However, he actually attended a BBQ with us last night, although he spent most of his time resting on a couch while we were all outside.

We are taking this one day at a time.
Thank you again!!

Prayer Request

I have a prayer request for anyone who accesses this post. Last night, my husband injured himself pretty badly. He believes he may have done serious damage to his rotar cusp, right shoulder, (he has a background in physiology) and is in a lot of pain. Our health insurance doesn't kick in until August 1st. Please pray we can make it until then before going to a doctor. Our hospital bills are steep.

Thank you so much and I will let you know what happens!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
