A Beautiful Gift

It's beautiful! The dark green is Buddy's color and the purple, well, that's the color!
Shortly after the accident, Tim's coworker gave him the package with a card for me.

It's a prayer shawl.

It's been in the hands of some God loving people, who believe as I, in the power of our Lord, and know, The Savior was with me that night. It's been prayed over and sent to help protect and heal me.

A beautiful gift.

I put it in the car and wrapped it around my seat. It's helped me, recover and drive again. It's like having the Lord's arms around me. Really beautiful.

Both Sophia and I have needed something to help us feel safe driving again, to be able to relax and enjoy the ride.

She has a new little bed with a blanket.

I've moved it to the back seat because we've had others riding with us quite a bit, but truth be told, I like it better when she's up front with me and so does she.

Security, crazy how it affects us when we lose it.

It's nice to have such a comforting gift.

On another note****

Stormy weather here the last week or so, beautiful during the day and wind storms with hard rain at night. Rivers are flooding. I hope your doing okay in the weather where you are. I pray for those out there in the elements. I wish we could solve the homeless crisis in our country. Something is very wrong with the way things are. Very wrong.

Blessed by God

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.

Appreciation

Without even thinking, I called my landlord, my kids and Tim on the way to the hospital. My chest, shoulder and head hurt so bad ~ I really couldn't think. Remembering my own phone number was a challenge. I didn't know how bad things were and I didn't know if they wanted to know or not, but....

by the time I was at the ER my son had arrived and both daughters shortly after. Considering the distances they had to travel, I was concerned at how fast they must have drove! Or, my head was so out of it, I didn't know how much time had passed. They kept asking me at the scene if I had been knocked out, and I didn't know for sure.

Having never gone through so much, it was all very traumatic for me. My kids will probably never realize just how much it meant to me, just to have them there.

My landlord came to the accident, spoke to the officer and made the arrangements for my truck. They took care of my animals while I was in the hospital and helped me out with so many things when I first came home.
My kids and grandkids stepped up and did so many things that we take for granted everyday. Things I couldn't do all of a sudden. My granddaughter even had her boyfriend involved taking care of the horse.

I'm not a soft and fuzzy person, I was never really a soft mom {shhhh, my kids know how to get me to cry}. I'm independent far too much for my own good sometimes. Needing help is hard, asking for it, harder, Letting people help ~ the hardest. I honestly never realized how much so many people cared about me, until this happened.

I'll never be able to express how truly grateful I have been to everyone. Nor could I ever make it up to anyone. I have a few Idea's I'm working on. I also have a lot of Christmas and birthday cheers to make up.
Still not 100% and the chest hurts

So it's a slow forward.....
But it's forward!!
