Faith

by Louise Bishop Oh no, my car had cut out, again. I was on a hill, on a one lane road. It connected my driveway with the highway. Other people, that lived on this road, used it, too. We just watched out, for other cars. Meeting another one, we just waited on them or passed in someone’s driveway.

Finally, those five sick weeks of being are over, and my life is getting back to normal. Whatever normal is.

“After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.” John 13:5 Moving back to East Texas in 1990 fulfilled a fifty year dream that meant….along with other things…that we’d live near Mother again.

I was preparing to go on a short trip. We were going out of state, to surprise my grandson, by appearing at his birthday party. Before I left; I had a list of things I wanted to do. Many of them required my going to another town, an hour away.

When I decided to get a B.A. instead of a B.S. at ETBU, I knew I would have to take a course in some foreign language. And since Greek was the World language when Jesus was born and since our New Testament was originally written in Greek, I decide Greek would be my foreign language choice.

No matter where we are in life, the present moment is the gift we have for a renewal of hearts and minds… to shine our best light, as given to us all in Spirit. Perhaps one of the greatest sadnesses I have experienced is the realization that mindfulness is not always exercised to the fullest.

I do not have a history of being sick. I rarely even have a headache, but I must confess, I give headaches.

“Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

by Louise Bishop I noticed that my carport floor, had a problem. I have carpet instead of concrete. I couldn’t afford the concrete for the floor. So, we installed this “poor man’s concrete.” Cast off carpet. Not fit for a house, but perfect for this. It keeps our shoes clean.

Sometimes, bad days are a blessing in disguise, but you don’t know it at the time. I have learned that whenever I have a bad day, it is not a time to get discouraged or sad.
