Update on My Husband's Vehicle

The truck that was in the accident a couple of weeks ago has been totalled. That seems to be bad news. The reason it's not is because the insurance company is giving us more money than we paid for it several years ago because of the low mileage. God is good.

Gary is now looking for a new vehicle.

We'll miss that little white truck.

Blessings from God

I've had blessings this last week. Last Monday or Tuesday I went to get my hair cut. My stylist was a talker and we talked about many things. I mentioned that I would like to have my hair in a spike sometime, but that I had to be careful not to cause any problem for the people in my church. She commented that she thought maybe those people needed to be stirred up. She told me when she became a Christian things were better for her. She also told me that she believed there were beings on other planets, and I told her I didn't believe that. We went on to talk about which church I went to, and I ended up inviting her to the services. She asked if I would be there and I said I would. When I left I gave her a tract and wrote the name of my church on the back.

Then today, I found out one of my sweet friends is leaving for good to go home and be with her parents. She was supposed to leave on July 31, but she just found out that her dad went back into the hospital and probably won't live to be released. So she is leaving in a hurry. I hugged her a couple of times. She's been very tearful about her dad. Over the years we have talked some about God and prayer. I don't know that she is a born-again Christian, but she does have some understanding of some things. She told me this morning that her dad was fearful because he doesn't want to leave his wife alone. I gave my friend a Gospel tract to read to her father. I told her that maybe if he had peace with God, he could have peace about other things as well.

If you are in a praying mood and mode, please pray for the hairstylist (Helga) and for my friend (Diana) that God will work in their lives, that my friend will have a safe journey home, and that her dad will live to hear the Gospel. God is good to give me these opportunities.

A Good Day

I am so blessed to be loved by my family. Yesterday was Mother's Day, and I enjoyed the day. The night before, my son and my husband had planned on taking me out for supper, but I got unmotivated so we called for Chinese instead, one of my favorites. Then on Sunday, I received a funny card, had Burger King for lunch, and my husband did the dishes and waited on me. He also asked several times if I was doing alright (and I was). My daughter called from Florida and we talked for quite awhile. Her gift will probably arrive today. I say a gift any time is a wonderful thing.

I think I often take my family for granted, but I really appreciate and love them. God has been very good to me.

I wouldn't mind being waited on all the time, but probably one day a year is what's good for me. Gifts and cards are also good. I always look forward to Mother's Day.
