When People Let You Down!

Wow, I didn't know you both were going through this. You both are giving me something to stay on my face about, that's for sure.

I am going to try my hand at Gluten Free baking to see how it tastes. If its as good as what I've been using, I will make some with those...will get them to you, I promise

AMEN!!!! I'm in agreement with you!

Shimmie, I got the Fiber Blend today from the Vitamin Shoppe! :trampolin And I buy fresh beets, and every morning I get on my juicer and make fresh beet juice. I add green apples to it with fresh carrots. It's good.

You'll be at 175 (total numbers) in no time.

Remember when our babies were little and we fed them strained beets? And the babies would make that face ?


That's still me....

But I need the benefits so I just get over the taste and drink the juice, straight, no chaser.

Forgiveness:

It's the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don't deserve

It's the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just to real
It takes everything you have just to say the word...

Forgiveness
Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

It'll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it's power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

I eat regular gluten, not 'free'. I eat natural foods, including real butter, real chocolate, but in moderation. I eat eggs almost everyday...I love them.

But on the other hand, I eat many veggies/fruits; fiber foods, almond milk, coconut oil as a spread, fruit/veggie smoothies, lots of water and plenty of ice, keeps me out of trouble.

I love walking, even in cold weather. It's good for blood circulation. This time of year, I love dancing in the falling leaves. Remember your 'Fall' picture from a few years ago? That's the path I dance in when I go for my walks, I'm dancing with the Leaves of Fall.

Getting back on topic.... Do you know that taking care of our bodies makes it easier to forgive offenses of those who have disappointed us. When our bodies feel better, our mood is better and hence, it's easier to forgive.
Thank you so much for your loving prayers..
