Your esteemed reader simply meant to say (in the words of Fernando Lamas), "You look marvelous, darling!" and I would agree. Just think of how (much worse) you look if you had died six months ago.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-74439058456796511842017-04-30T22:53:30.939-04:002017-04-30T22:53:30.939-04:00Pam/H.H., thanks for calling us fabulous!

Assuming that we do not meet in this lifetime, and also assuming that citizens of Heaven sit at tables and drink coffee (although that is by no means certain), it's a date!

I'm sure we all have something about ourselves that we don't particularly like....perhaps it keeps us humble? You both radiate the life and joy that knowing Jesus as Savior causes! It appears we will not meet in this lifetime, my friend, since I have no desire to travel across this mighty continent, but can we sit at a table in Heaven and talk face to face over coffee? I'm pretty sure we're kindred spirits :-)Hilltophomesteaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926731207526014550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-58604261557981299442017-04-27T13:50:38.253-04:002017-04-27T13:50:38.253-04:00“I was joking (sort of) about my ears, although I ...“I was joking (sort of) about my ears, although I would have preferred smaller ears…”<br /><br />I felt that way about my ears when I was a kid. I was also embarrassed that I was skinny all over but especially my legs. Peggy says she was embarrassed by her nose and her crooked teeth, but I don’t even see that her nose is unusual, and as for her teeth, I find them endearing. Now, I’m embarrassed by my age spots, and other raised brownish “growths” that ugly up my face and body. My Granny had them, so I know where I got mine. I guess when you consider your ears, you might remind yourself that Clark Gable was considered sexy.<br /><br />"But all of our cells have been replaced since then, haven't they?"<br /><br />Well there you go, it's all those new cells that keep you looking young whereas my cells are so old that they walk with canes and wear hearing aides.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-41952187825753423932017-04-24T17:30:56.022-04:002017-04-24T17:30:56.022-04:00Michelle, if I believe our friend Snowbrush above ...<b>Michelle,</b> if I believe our friend Snowbrush above that we haven't changed much, then coupled with your observation we both must have looked brilliant for the past seven years!
