*hugs rose* Hello darling, sobered up? :D
And I am good. Slept a lot, still sleeping a lot tbh. Guess my body is demanding recovery time after the AB. Feeling ok though.
3:41 am
grannyrose
lolll. 110th anniversary of worshiping at our church today. lots of food, balloons, streamers etc after service. and we had a jazz pianist playing the hymns. it was fantastic.
3:42 am
sprite
oh wow! what a lovely occasion. Glad you had a grand time. How are you feeling? I take it the painkillers make a difference, though they won't solve everything, alas.
3:43 am
grannyrose
and my beloved DIL (Josh's wife, Jen) has been cooking and baking. she sent us a basketful of food, plus 6 newly laid eggs. xoxolx
3:43 am
sprite
oh that is splendid. How thoughtful :D
3:44 am
grannyrose
oh yeah... and i did get to the doctor.... now have heaps of good painkillers.
3:45 am
sprite
I am so glad for that. It was an unbearable situation for you. Make sure you take them, ok? There is more than just a fine line between becoming dependent on them and taking them when you really need them, for about a month. So take them.
3:46 am
sprite
ni6/21.. right... because you can have plural nothings?
3:47 am
grannyrose
of course you can. i see lots of ni's every day, driving around.
3:48 am
sprite
I guess you are right. I remember a R&R song... my baby whispers in my ear.... oooooo... sweet nothings...
3:49 am
sprite
*giggles* You cracked me up the other night. I bet you conked out to sleep while sitting at the computer!
3:51 am
grannyrose
oh dear!! now my rep is international...
3:51 am
sprite
it already was, grin. *hugs rose* I luv ya! What is the use of being sober and serious all the time? We need to enjoy life!
3:52 am
grannyrose
i am with ya !! the crazy thing is i never remember...;-(
3:52 am
grannyrose
i hope i wasn't too naughty.
3:52 am
sprite
oh! That reminds me of something I read somewhere. That we are not supposed to come back to God after our life and hand in our body unused and clean.
3:53 am
grannyrose
oh i love it...
3:54 am
grannyrose
brb. need to change my clothes so i can zap this nerve.
3:54 am
sprite
but that we must stumble in, a glass of wine in one hand, our clothes wrinkled, short on sleep, our hair messy and our eyes shining, and contentedly sighing "Wow! What a ride!"
4:00 am
grannyrose
mind you don had me a little confused the morning after. kept on winking at me with a huge grin on his face.
4:00 am
sprite
*giggles* welcome back. I bet you were awesome, even if you don't remember!
4:03 am
grannyrose
who knew arthritic hips could achieve that?
4:03 am
sprite
as long as they are well lubricated... :D
4:04 am
grannyrose
ummmmm.... nope.... leaving that where it lies...lolll
4:05 am
sprite
*giggles* where they lie... or sit... or move... or ride...
4:05 am
grannyrose
btw, does alcohol work as a lubricant? must ask ruru n ext time i see him..
4:06 am
grannyrose
now leaving my sex life where it belongs... what's on for you today?
4:06 am
sprite
oh it does. Makes our body do things we normally cannot... makes our mouths run and our tongues wag... only our fingers seems to go wild, if your typing was any sign...
4:07 am
sprite
hehehe ok then! :D
4:07 am
grannyrose
roflollll, oh my. do i need to find a rock? to hi4 under?
4:08 am
sprite
laundry, some fun with nails, washing my hair, and tonight Rob and I are eating at a colleague of mine. He wants to ask me stuff about the gastric bypass, seeing how he will have one very soon. And ask Rob about canoeing options because he wants to go back to canoeing as soon as his weight is down a bit.
4:09 am
sprite
nah silly, never. Did you read what I typed while you were away? All you need to do is say "WOW, what a ride!"
4:09 am
grannyrose
oh sprite! the hubby of Lan, the vietnemese mother at our church? the one who calls me Grammy Rose ? well he's started calling me Grammy Rose too. and comes up to me at the greeting of peace, gives me a lovely kiss on the cheek, and wishes me 'peace'. i am so flattered.
4:10 am
sprite
ohhh that is so sweet!
4:11 am
grannyrose
how absolutely wonderful sprite! a husband and wife ministry... i am so proud of you both. this is what it's about, honey.
4:12 am
sprite
:) it always makes me so happy and grateful when I can help someone with stuff I had to battle through. Makes it all worth it, somehow.
4:13 am
grannyrose
yes it does.... and the fact that Rob is also being asked to share and support is so good. i already know what a great counselor/support you are.
4:15 am
sprite
Rob is usually not so happy with going to people he does not know doing something social. But he was all for it this time, so I know it will be a fun evening. He loves to talk about canoeing, and he always wants to help other people.
4:17 am
grannyrose
my darling, do you see that you both are being called to serve the Big Guy?
4:18 am
sprite
um... you think so? Just doing what comes naturally, to be honest.
4:19 am
grannyrose
not in an overt way... and yes i do. whenever one of us steps up to the mark and helps another human being, we are serving the Big Guy. i try to keep it all on the QT....
4:20 am
sprite
*quickly looks up QT*
4:20 am
sprite
ah, quiet. Right :)
4:21 am
grannyrose
Our Lord talked about us helping other humans. whenever we help one of them, we are helping the Lord to accomplish His plan for our earth.
4:21 am
sprite
well I am happy to serve whenever He sees fit to let me. I may often sound cavalier about it, but I feel a very deep connection to the Big Guy and I try to live from that.
4:22 am
sprite
oh I remember that, I think. Whatever you have done for the least of your fellow men, you have done for Me, right?
4:22 am
grannyrose
it is such a conundrum. we are instructed to hi4 our light under a bushel( bucket) but also told to let our light shine out in the world.
4:22 am
grannyrose
my darling girl, exactly.
4:23 am
sprite
I guess it is a different light. The one is our ego. The other God's light shining through us.
4:23 am
grannyrose
yesssss. you see it. xoxox
4:25 am
sprite
it is my take on life that we are here to be God's instrument. And what we go through in life is all part of tuning that instrument and making it even better and better able to play God's music. Or rather, better fit to allow God to play us.
4:27 am
grannyrose
my soul sister !! now in every way !! xoxox
4:28 am
sprite
*grins* I thought we already were, in every way. Didn't you know I feel this way?
4:29 am
grannyrose
honey... i sort of felt it... to have it verified is the most amazing thing...love, love, love
4:29 am
sprite
luvya right back, honey.
4:30 am
sprite
my personal turning point in this was at a very special easter celebration I once attended.
4:30 am
grannyrose
sprite, when we meet face to face, i prolly won't stop weeping for joy for about 3 days.
4:31 am
sprite
the theme of that celebration was the line "God has no hands but ours."
I went from 'who the hell do I think I am to pretend to be God's instrument' to "who do I think I am to not do His work?"
4:32 am
sprite
better extend your stay for 3 days then :D But I hear ya... and yes, me too. We will weep and laugh and hug and giggle, and they will have to tear us apart at the end of your stay!
4:32 am
grannyrose
what a mind blower !! when God swoops in, stand back...
4:33 am
grannyrose
sprite, sweetie... i am definitely going to be with you for at least 10 days. if himself wants to go on without me... well good.
4:34 am
sprite
yeah that was a hard one. And a very welcome one. Broke open my self-destructive track and started me on a road of healing and learning to see myself as God's instrument, and not one of His failures ;)
4:35 am
grannyrose
and that is the point !! God does not make failures. if we don't see that, it is not His fault.
4:35 am
sprite
awesome! I am thinking of doing stuff together with the 4 of us for about 6 days, and then sending off the guys on a canoeing and photographing trip while we go spend a few days with just the two of us.
4:36 am
grannyrose
it took three days and nights of praying, reading and studying the tapes of Harold Dewberry to realise that. i came out of it a completely different person/christian.
4:37 am
grannyrose
so long as the canoe doesn't rock too much... both of our wishes are granted...lolll
4:37 am
sprite
even on this we walked a similar road :) Love it.
4:38 am
grannyrose
my love!!! xxxxxx and ooooooo
4:38 am
sprite
no, Rob's canoes are open canoes, not kayaks. They don't rock and are steady as can be. Don will love it if he gives it half a chance.
4:39 am
grannyrose
statement : I WILL PERSUADE HIM !!
4:39 am
sprite
seeing nature from the water is a totally different experience than from terra firma. It will inspire his photographing guaranteed.
4:40 am
grannyrose
btw, he had an amazing discussion with the vicar re homosexuality today. i feel it is a major break-through.
4:40 am
sprite
and Rob is calm and steady too.
4:41 am
grannyrose
bless Rob !!
4:41 am
sprite
oh good! Love is love, right? Who are we to judge how that love is directed, if He sees fit to direct it just so? Provided it is among consenting adults, that is.
4:43 am
grannyrose
that's what i said... sort of... i at least to get him to admit that if promiscuity is not an issue, it is a relationship which needs to be considered at depth.
4:43 am
sprite
that is a good start. If his mind starts to open, it will become free over time.
4:44 am
grannyrose
what i want, sprite. he was raped as a child by a male bully.
4:44 am
sprite
actually, I think even promiscuity has its place in the scheme of things. How can we, as souls, learn the meaning of true commitment when we haven't experienced the emptiness of the other side?
4:45 am
grannyrose
sprite...i have been over this topic, time and again. i am able to condemn the act and not the person.
4:45 am
sprite
omg that is so so horrible! I don't blame him one bit for judging harshly and generalising. Who wouldn't, after such a horrid thing.
4:47 am
grannyrose
yes love... and now you see the rocky path i must traverse in order to bring my beloved to accept the respect of other humans who do not see life the way he does.
4:49 am
sprite
well... the act of rape is to be condemned in any form or colour or flavour. And the person doing it is responsible for doing it all the way. Having said that, it is also true that acts of violence are often born from pain and despair, and in that respect are human.
4:50 am
grannyrose
i made a decision... i do not like the way you are acting...i LOVE you as a human being.
4:51 am
grannyrose
in other words... i may condemn your acts... but i still love you as a human.
4:51 am
sprite
wow, you are amazing. I often cannot. I can distinguish between the act and the person. But I often do not love that person.
4:54 am
grannyrose
my love... it is a huge step... that i learned after i was almost raped by a family member. at my age then, i had never seen the male penis in such a rampant state. now... it is behind me... i have forgiven that man...and moved forward, totallt not going to let such an act influence my life now.
4:55 am
sprite
hm I see... I can fully relate to that kind of feeling. What I mean is, I can move on and accept the person as another human being. But I will feel free to not want him/her in my life.
4:56 am
grannyrose
our God say,s if you love me, you must love me in your enemy. now that is a HUGE step forward.
4:57 am
grannyrose
i found i could despise the act... and not the person.
4:58 am
sprite
now that, I can do. I can relate to the meaning of 'namaste'... as in 'God's light in me honours God's ligt in you'. But I will not call it love, per se. I can dislike someone and still honour God's light in him/her.
4:58 am
grannyrose
not wanting the perpetrator in your life is a natural protective instinct.
4:58 am
grannyrose
you are halfway there my darling.
4:58 am
sprite
also, I make a distinction between God's light in me, and me. God's love is universal and everlasting. Mine, not so much :)
4:59 am
sprite
I have a few years left to catch up with you, grin. You are wiser and more seasoned than me.
5:03 am
sprite
I hope you noticed I avoided words like 'older' and 'riper' :D

No, I have really never said that I don't like it. I may have commented on how many times you do it, but I really don't care if you change your icon every five minutes.
