Compassion
11 ... he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of
bread in your hand." 12But she said, "As the LORD your
God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little
oil in a jug; ... 13Elijah said to her, "Do
not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it
and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your
son.

Carol and Isobel (licking
her lips!) enjoying their goodies.
Jan loves
to have people make a fuss over her!!!
Carol and Jan each had two
paintings selected by the
Colorado Alzheimer's
Association for the big
Art Auction next Thursday
evening!
Isobel, 101, wanted to know
why her painting hadn't been
selected and I had to
explain to her that we had not submitted
her painting because she
doesn't have any form of dementia.
She looked up at me for
a minute and coyly asked,
"How do you
know?"
A blurry hummingbird at
Echo Lake Lodge, where our Breakfast Group
met Wednesday
morning.
Carolyn and Gail (Gail and
her husband are the ones
getting ready to leave next
month for the Peace Corps).
Such a glorious drive
it was up to Echo Lake!
That night it snowed ... up
there, not here.
This one is for
Robin!
Vicki and I found this
statue next to a Starbucks at the old Stapleton Airport
site.
We had a cup of coffee
before Vicki's minor surgery.
(Five and a half hours
later, Vicki was chipper enough that we were able to go to
lunch!)
We finally have ducklings
at the lake!
On the way to a party last
night, I saw lots of wildlife.
I just had to stop to take
a picture of this white buffalo!
Fair and softly goes far.

A repeat.
12As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died
was being carried out. He was his mother's only son, and she was a widow; and
with her was a large crowd from the town. 13When the
Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the
bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, rise!"
15The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to
his mother.
