Another Wednesday means another Hodgepodge. I've missed the last couple but am up to the task today. Thanks Joyce for always "showing up" for us.
1. What is something you currently find 'taxing'?
Oh, my goodness! I have been having "tear duct issues" in my right eye for about 3 months. My awesome Ophthalmologist referred me to another eye specialist in Shreveport (for non locals that about 100 miles from us) and I saw him yesterday. Can I just say that I am not a whimp with much of anything but when you are poking and prodding in my tear duct, irrigating it and other stuff, it about causes me to have a "hissy fit." Now, there is no pain because my eye is numb but just the thought and I can feel the poking and prodding even though it is not painful. Yes, I find it very taxing! And, I have to have another procedure done next month. Hopefully that will fix the issue.
2. I've seen this question asked in various forms on several social media sites...you can only keep three-coffee, jewelry, tacos, wine, books, dogs, chocolate, Netflix, make-up, leggings, cheese, cats
Which three do you keep and how easy or hard was it for you to decide?
Well, what a strange list but if I had to choose it would be coffee, jewelry and makeup. No explanation needed for those that know me. ~chuckle~ I don't like to do without any of these on any given day. ~big smile~
3. Tell us something you know or have learned about forgiveness?
I've learned that there are times that we have to forgive when not asked for forgiveness. It's so much easier when someone apologizes and asks for forgiveness but when they do not, we need to forgive and move on. It's better for all concerned and leave the rest up to the Lord.
4. What's something you'd recommend that is often overlooked and under appreciated?
God's Word!!! For many, it's not even a conscious act, but we/they do not appreciate the extreme value of His Word and it is often overlooked for things of far LESS importance. We must make a concerted effort to be in His Word and to appreciate the value of it in our lives. It's a daily struggle for me, so I'm speaking to myself first of all.
5. Give us a favorite word that starts with letter K and tell us why this is the one you chose.
KINDNESS !!!! Our world needs a HUGE dose. It cost nothing and it could and would change so much in our world if everyone would just practice it.
