gwenshere: March 2015
http://gwenshere2.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. I have learned a lot in the last four weeks. For twenty years I have been living in various levels of pain but have been afraid to do anything about it. I rejoiced when the doctors said “No you aren’t ready for surgery yet.” I had to get worse before I got better as the saying goes. The perfect answer for the proverbial. But everyone tells me that once I do have knee replacement surgery I will feel so much better. Well- I don’t. Arnold H. Glasow. The more patient we are,. 8220;N...

gwenshere: Being a Good Shepherd
http://gwenshere2.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-hate-being-stereotyped.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Being a Good Shepherd. I hate being stereotyped. 8220;She’s fat –she doesn’t care about good health. She’s old so must be senile. She doesn’t work- she must be lazy, or uneducated. And worst of all she’s a woman. They don’t count. Recently I have had a couple of stories brought to my attention by two friends. The first felt slighted in church because her husband divorced her. Friends still welcome her husband but she feels invisible. A Shepherd in Israel? Every member of The Church ...

gwenshere: Forgiveness
http://gwenshere2.blogspot.com/2015/07/forgiveness.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. I’ve been thinking about the. Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. In South Carolina where Dylann Roof shot nine people. I’ve been thinking about the families of those killed and their willingness to forgive the young man who shot their family members. I’m not sure I could do that, at least not for a few days. I think I would have to mourn first. It took me several years to forgive my son, and those who were with him when he died in Montana, for not following the rules.

gwenshere: Following Directions
http://gwenshere2.blogspot.com/2015/04/following-directions.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. On the drive home from town today we saw a sign on a building we passed that said. 8220;Having children doesn’t come with directions! 8221; A little further along at a birthing center a sign said “But it does”. How many things in life do we do without reading the directions? Red White and Blue Chili. 1 lb ground meat. 1 can each red , white, and black beans. 1 can diced tomatoes. Brown meat and chopped onions. Throw in everything else and heat through. As children in Sunday scho...

Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Cynthia G.'s words. The mountains rose from the desert floor. Reaching towards the clear blue sky,. Colorful balloons raced quietly, dodging. Mornings were flying time. Rain came at noon. On a good day. I love the freedom of flying,. Bouncing, turning, floating. A family of ducks and their friends the geese. Floated down the river. Friday, July 10, 2015. I’ve been thinking about the. Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Forgiveness benefit the one forgiving? Judge not, an...

http://gwenshere2.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 5, 2015. There Is A Green Hill Far Away. There is a hymn we sing in church. There is a Green Hill Far Away by. There is a green hill far away,. Without a city wall,. Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains he had to bear,. But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin. He only could unlock the gate Of heav'n and let us in. Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved!

Tuesday, October 7, 2014. The Bread of Life. I love bread,. Warm from the oven. Spread with real butter. And homemade raspberry jam. But this morning I sat on the deck-. Eating oatmeal and a biscuit from MacDonald’s. As I waited for the hot air balloons to rise from the midst in front of the Sandias I contemplated. 8220;The Bread of Life”. Jesus said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever.”(John 6:51). Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the ...

Thursday, June 11, 2015. I have had a moth flying around in my bathroom the last couple of days. The cats have noticed him too and have been trying to catch him. The other day Tenny leapt up onto the window screen for a better view and crash bang! She and the screen both landed in the tub. That was the end of the adventure for both of them. How often do we find ourselves attracted to that bright light, that flitting object that catches our attention but isn’t always for our good? Of the relationship betw...

Monday, August 17, 2015. How can I Help? I have been nursing my husband the last few weeks as he tries to recover from some bug. I don’t do as well as he did when I had my knee replaced, but he is very loving and appreciative. I have heard somewhere that you love those you serve. If we are going to learn to love as the Savior did we should take as many opportunities to serve others. 8220;If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 8220;The Savior is o...
