I’m at home today.
Heading to the doctor in about an hour.
I’ve been fighting a cough and head cold for three weeks now, and I finally decided that I probably need more than an occasional Tylenol.
As I was thinking of what to write today, I ran across these pictures from the morning before Erich’s reception and I was reminded of how God used tweezers in my washer to help me prepare for that particular day.
See, the Friday night before the reception I had looked everywhere for my tweezers with no luck.
On Saturday morning as I was switching some laundry from the washer to the dryer, I felt a poke on my hand and, lo and behold, there lay my tweezers…nestled quietly between the folds of two blankets.
I felt the need to take a picture (imagine that!), but at the same time, I didn’t really know why.
When I went to take the picture, I realized that my battery was almost totally dead in my camera and had I not taken this picture I wouldn’t have had my battery charged for Erich and Mallory’s reception.
I was thankful that very moment for tweezers in my washer, and I knew why I had wanted to take the picture!!!
So, today, as I sit here sniffling, coughing, and feeling rather “blah,” it seemed like a perfect time to say,
“Be thankful for things like tweezers in your washer! You never know how God might be using them to make some other part of your life a little better!”
Ephesians 5:20
…….always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(After the last two posts, you may never ask me to do a load of laundry for you, but it was a risk I had to take. 🙂 )
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
Sorry you’re feeling bad now too! Hope EVERYONE is feeling better soon! As for you doing laundry~I’m just glad you’re keeping it real! I think things like that happen to more people than would admit!
Thank you, Christine. I just had to get a shot, and my medicines are being filled at the pharmacy so hopefully I can get over this before the holiday next weekend……bronchitis and a sinus infection…….
Much love to you and thank you for every prayer. Hope your weekend is a great one!
My nephew and sister-in-law are on their way to our house, so I’d better be feeling better quickly! 🙂 Tomorrow Evan turns 21!!
happy birthday to Evan. Tammy, I hope you start feeling better quickly. I so love how you can find God in the little things of life. He speaks to us in sooo many ways and you always can seem to find them. You make my day better every time I read your blog. Get well soon:O)

Tammy, what has happened to the music on your blog? I don’t have it anymore. It says the playl;ist is empty. Just wondering.
Sherry,
Thank you so much for telling me about the music. Is it working now for you?
Love you,
Tammy
