Hello empty walls...LOL
I feel like sharing, and since not too many folks around me tend to listen when I ramble, you, fine computer and blank non existent piece of paper are it.
A lot has been going on again :) Lets see if I can't bring it down to a simple list - nah - nothing I do is ever simple.
Arland and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Texas. Our prior landlord was climbing a ladder to get a cactus down to show his grandson. Unfortunately, he wasn't wearing his O2 and passed out when he got to the top. As a 71 yr old, he bounced pretty good, down about 7 foot and banging his head and hitting his ribs on a railroad tie on the way down. For those of you who don't know what a rail road tie is, it's about a 6"x6" piece of timber used in between the rails of the tracks for trains. Pretty solid things. To say the least, it didn't move when he hit it. Fortunately, nothing was broken; unfortunately, his spirit was. Our friends know it's quite a distance from where we live to their home, but our help was needed and as always, God provided the means. We went. Something that Pastor talks about, irrational generosity. Going when you know you can't without His help, during a time when you are exhausted beyond all means but His, and with an empty cup that He fills.
Arland and I had a fantastic trip there. I was bouncing off the headliner and didn't settle till we took a pit stop for sleep in Louisiana. Unfortunately, we weren't able to visit his dad, or stop and see our friends who live half in Florida (her) and half in Louisiana (him). Oh, they are still quite married and quite in love. Just what has to happens to keep the financial wheels rolling. More about them later ;) I digress. Our daughter in law and grand daughter were still partying down at a cousins wedding and our son was at work - so we kept on moving and headed for Comstock.
Although it was late, our arrival was joyous and on my part of course, loud. It was so good to see folks that mean so much to us. And it was so good to see Mr. T all sparkly eyed and bushy tailed. From what we were told, he wasn't eating unless he was being fed, barely getting up to use the bathroom, hardly talking and really not doing well at all. He was rebounding already. It was so good to see everyone.
The trip was full of successes, catching up with our son and his family (the funnest part was watching our grand daughter bond with her Fajah...made the heart just tingle with goodness). His troubles seem to be passing THANK YOU LORD!! We saw soooo many of our friends back there - I started a list of who we caught up with, boy was it long!
good grief...forgotten I had this on the fires...No idea where the track was going, but it was a blast!!!
