I wasn’t expecting a shower today, but I really appreciate it. The outside smells so fresh and everything looks watered. I have to love the beautiful colors of fall leaves. There are so many different shades of every color. I thought about making an arrangement for my dinning table. I could gather so many different kinds and colors of leaves, then I have pine combs, and lots of asparagus fern. But I know it would die very quickly, and it wouldn’t be worth the time. Even though the sun isn’t shinning at my place, I still like to sit out and feel the fresh air moving across my face, Occasionally I can feel a drop or two of rain on my arms. I had to wipe the lawn chairs off since the rain left a puddle of water on their seats. The temperature is just right to be comfortable. I took a snack out to eat while I was enjoying the nice weather.
Our church surrendered another one of our most-loved members this week. He was 95 years old. I am thankful that he had just a short time of bed rest before passing. He was strong enough to come to church except for the last two months. His death came sooner than expected since he injured himself in a fall. His mind stayed clear till the end. I am proud to give his name and I am sure some of my readers would appreciate it. Dave Deal was a star football player on his high school team many years ago. I don’t have the exact time of he and his wife’s wedding, but I believe it was about 73 years ago. She survives him. I took a dish to church today for the funeral services, but because of sickness in my own family I did not stay for the service.
My great grandson was taken to the hospital yesterday with unknown problems. He has been paralyzed from the neck down since he was fourteen. He was hit by a vehicle while skate boarding. He is nineteen now. His mind has always been good, but cannot move a muscle below his neck, nor can he turn his head because they have a brace on his neck. I am happy to say he has been given the best of care since the accident happened. Five yeas was the time given to his parents that he would live. It has been just about that time, and we are waiting anxiously to see if he will come out of this semi-coma condition. The doctors have not been able to give us any information yet on his condition. He is in the intensive care unit at Scott and White in Temple Texas. We have had this precious child in God’s hands every since the accident, but it will still be hard to give him up when ever God sees fit. Life just does not seem good to some people, but we know God does all things for a reason, and we trust Him always. Prayer is the key to the door of God’s peace and stability.
God Bless
