Well, we have accomplished one night with 2 weddings, and I am pretty pleased with our outcome. My team is wonderful. If you are able to withstand what we did this weekend and the unexpected, then you can do just about anything!
Our “de-briefing” session concluded with two main points:
- do not count on others to be on time
- be ready to throw something together (just as on my favorite show, Chopped!)
This week I ask for patience. Â Mimi is doing well, but man, she can have her jacket on and pocketbook in hand ready to go just as I am loading up the car for bouquet delivery! She’s still a busy body, and I am just like her. She is still asking the same questions over and over, not remembering what was just said most of the time. Mama is also eating like I’ve never seen an 80 something year old eat. I thought when you got old you slowed down, but my nurse friends are telling me she is probably bored and may have forgotten that she has eaten. I tell myself that otherwise she would be at home, watching tv and snoozing all day on the sofa. She would not be getting 3 solid meals a day, nor the excitement of watching two teen grandchildren rush in and out of the house. Â I know she may be more comfortable at home, but she would not be safe–in many ways.
So, here is a sweet prayer I found and will meditate on for the rest of the week. We will get through this week and be home free for a few weeks before the next bunch of fun!
Will try to remember camera this week so you can watch the process unfold!
see you ML
Lord, teach me to be patient – with life, with people,and with myself. I sometimes try to hurry things along too much, and I push for answers before the time is right. Teach me to trust Your sense of timing rather than my own and to surrender my will to Your greater and wiser plan. Help me let life unfold slowly, like the small rosebud whose petals unravel bit by bit, and remind me that in hurrying the bloom along, I destroy the bud and much of the beauty therein.
Instead, let me wait for all to unfold in its own time. Each moment and state of growth contains a loveliness. Teach me to slow down enough to appreciate life and all it holds. Amen.

I love the prayer and claim it for my own!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love to Mimi. She still sounds the same…a pistol! I truly named my Emily right. We are finding similar things with Berry’s mom. Really like this prayer. HUGS!
