Thank You For The Flowers




                                         
                                               A few kind words, I cherish
                                               worth more than any gold
                                               given when much needed
                                               feeds my weary soul

                                              A simple handshake or nod
                                              spreads the fragrance around
                                              lifts my daunting spirits
                                              when I'm low and quite down

                                              A much needed prayer
                                              a rose of elegance and grace
                                              really touches my heart
                                              I humbly accept and embrace

                                              Ever close beside me
                                              beautiful flowers does grow
                                              or many gardens away
                                              by some I hardly know

                                              Thank you for the flowers
                                              you give to me each day
                                              each petal is worth more

                                               Thank you for the flowers
                                               you give to me each day
                                               a blanket of warm sunshine
                                               a smile's brightest ray
                                              than words can ever say

Just a little update,

The surgery went well and I'm now home. Praise be to God.
I've still got a ways to go and having alot of discomfort but there will be  better days ahead.
Since my Thyroid is gone I'm now feeling the affects of Hypothyroidism full blast but it will take time to get my meds adjusted . Many thanks to all of you for your messages, cards, emails and gifts of friendship but most importantly your PRAYERS. They have been heard and answered. It means so much to me and I will never forget . I think of ya'll often and will be back soon as I'm able. I'm looking forward to my visits with ya'll and your great posts make my days. May God Bless, ~Susie

  6. Susie, That's some good news. I pray your meds will be adjust to fit you. It does take time. You are a tough girl from tough stock....you can do it. Some times I know I would love to flop down and kick and scream about how unfair liofe can be...but then I know I have suffered through a tough childhood to be brave and endure. God loves us , we are his children and he will take care of us. Bless you dear friend, xoxo,Susie

  8. So good to hear that you are doing well after the surgery (Thank you Jesus for taking care of our sweet sister)...I continue to pray for your complete recovery, and for the meds to work. I hope you enjoy the prospect of quilt making...There is snow on the ground here in Michigan today, and I already feel like huddling in my nest where it is warm.
    Much love, and ((big hugs))~Lisa~
