Faith

My Lufkin kids met me at church and sat with me. Later, after service, they took me out for lunch. Then, they followed me home. We had a good long visit. At least, my daughter and I did. He took a short nap. This was so special, to me. I fully enjoyed my time, with them.

A lot of things in life, I am not very good at. That list could go on and on and on.

“Be strong and courageous… The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” __ Joshua 1:9 I want to memorize this verse to say it just as I am about to leave the house.

“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we might win by fearing to attempt.'_William Shakespeare So little is known about him but so much of his “life introspections” were written in plays personifying character qualities common throughout the world.

I woke up with something gouging me, in my side. It felt like a boulder was pushing against me. (Well, maybe not a boulder. But, at least something the size of a tennis ball.) What in the world is in my bed? It was making a sore spot on my body.

I hate it that Amazon and WalMart and others seem to be taking everything. Money, time to drive to Jasper, Nacogdoches, Lufkin..even as far away as Beaumont.

I have always hated getting a new appliance, contrary to most people. Especially, a sewing machine. I didn’t want to learn how to use it. I just wanted to sew. But, this was bigger than that. It was a car! Let the adventures begin!

After being married for over 50 years, I have concluded the secret of a happy marriage is a happy wife. What it takes to make her happy is worth all the effort.

IN GOD WE TRUST, and I thank God for us who do. Words slide through shattered trust in a broken world, but we carry on because God’s strength in us is greater than darkness. We are protected as we are guided to trust Him.

President Abraham Lincoln scripted: “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is whatever we hink of it; the tree is the real hing.” Thank God.
