I think it's very common at our age. We never know what our future holds, but we do know that we are in the last trimester of our life here on earth. That alone helps fuel the desire to go and do, I think. Studies have proven, too, that those who keep doing and learning are giving themselves the best shot at longevity. I'm confident that if it's ministry God wants for you, He will show you. Maybe it's time to just explore a little together. Something as simple as "that place close by that you pass all the time but never stop to check out". Whether it's a lovely park, restaurant, shop, picnic at the lake, etc... just experience some new things every once in awhile together. How blessed we are to have our marriages, and hubbies to share with! I always enjoy new things more with him.<br /><br />Hugs to you!! I will pray that God will help you figure it out! :o)<br />BeckyBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272099392249278847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79641116704393108.post-20830280277484205242016-03-08T10:21:56.084-08:002016-03-08T10:21:56.084-08:00My husband and I team-teach a health class with an...My husband and I team-teach a health class with another couple from our church. It is called CHIP. Now is the time to get on the health train. So your last days will be vibrant and healthy and not spent wasting time in a nursing home!

Just pick a place that interests you, maybe within a couple hours of your home, pack a picnic lunch or buy one and just go. Just the two of you, see something new and enjoy the day. It can be very refreshing to step away from regular life for a bit.<br /><br />Have a great day, Kelly.Kelly @ Homespuns 'n Hayfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520890374028112228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79641116704393108.post-23238024204060159852016-01-06T12:48:51.862-08:002016-01-06T12:48:51.862-08:00I know this might not sound as important or intere...I know this might not sound as important or interest you but maybe you and Scott can go to different towns in Oregon or wherever and show some kindness or offer prayer for a family of a missing child. They are so upset they a lot of times are unable to function and do day to day tasks because of worry . They really count on the kindness of others and help.It is not a glamorous task but if interested I can give you the names of many that need help. I noticed for myself that helping others fills a void and brings great fulfillment . With the world today we need all the good people to stand up and help each other. Another idea is help out a veteran . If none of these ideas interest you try joining a square dance group , a body in motion stays in motion and they have events all over and its fun. <br />button ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495944288823656355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79641116704393108.post-31218721548946919432016-01-06T07:33:22.411-08:002016-01-06T07:33:22.411-08:00Hi Barb,
Happy New Year! I'm always excited ...Hi Barb, <br /><br />Happy New Year! I'm always excited to get anything from your blog in my email! If you're wanting to "get away", the previous answer made a great suggestion.<br /><br />There are also volunteer orgs that have short trips to volunteer your time to help those in need. Building water wells, homes, etc. A little research on the internet should get you the information quickly and easily. <br /><br />There are also great orgs all around our wonderful country that help mothers, children, families, get on their feet. Especially now, since so many are dealing with getting over the flooding that just happened. Check your area to see if they have a shelter for women and children. Maybe they need help, or clothing to get back on their own. You could start a drive to help them? Maybe children need tutoring or companionship? Just some thoughts that popped into my head...I hope this helps you.Nancy Happilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198358490763321711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79641116704393108.post-27641546190184463072016-01-05T08:45:03.891-08:002016-01-05T08:45:03.891-08:00Maybe once a month you and Scott could go stay the...Maybe once a month you and Scott could go stay the night or weekend ata new place you haven't been to or its been a while. Like stay the weekend in Ashland or something along those lines. That way Scott only has to leave his sanctuary once a month and hopefully it will ease your nagging feeling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645878425489152426noreply@blogger.com
