Day 288: A Flag to Follow. And a Fishtail.



My daughter braided my hair last night. In a "fishtail".

Me like!
Speaking of like, below is my hymn of the day. We sang it in church this morning.
Love, not just like! Where has this hymn been all my life? But good timing, as our country is currently in a political quagmire.
A Flag to Follow

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:"

divider

    I sought a flag to follow
    A cause for which to stand,
    I sought a valiant leader
    Who could my love command;
    I sought a stirring challenge,
    Some noble work to try,
    To give my life fulfillment,
    My dreams to satisfy.
      Chorus
      I found them all in Jesus,
      The Life, the Truth, the Way;
      Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
      And follow Him today.
    I sought a ringing answer
    For all my doubts inside
    A torch of truth uplifted
    My searching steps to guide;
    I sought a word of wisdom,
    A true authority.
    I sought to know life's purpose,
    To solve its mystery.

      Chorus
      I found them all in Jesus,
      The Life, the Truth, the Way;
      Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
      And follow Him today.
    I sought for satisfaction
    For yearning deep within,
    I sought for full deliv'rance
    From chains of guilt and sin;
    I sought for peace and pardon,
    For freedom from my fears,
    I sought a hope to cling to
    Beyond these passing years.

      Chorus
      I found them all in Jesus,
      The Life, the Truth, the Way;
      Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
      And follow Him today.
On my way to the gym.My son returns from Reno today.

Happy Sunday!

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night.  I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers".  If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea.  Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever.   The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience.  This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award!  :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks.  On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy".   I have found the per...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
