I didn’t wake up this morning to a beautiful sunrise, but rather a hazy sky and a slight mist. Not so exciting as when the sun rises with all colors from the rainbow forming the sly. I was waiting for my energy pill since the sun didn’t bring it this morning. The mail carrier brought it. A bright red envelope addressed to MOM with a heart drawn beside it for last name. It’s a good thing he put the street address and city and state underneath. Inside was a honey bear showing it’s heart. My energy pill was extra strength and away I go to work. My life gets sweeter every day.
Yesterday brought me great joy also. Another son called to tell me the birthday cards had come on the day of the big event. I had worried about them receiving the cards since they had just recently moved into a large apartment complex in Houston, Texas. It took six days for the cards to arrive. My granddaughter and grandson was having a joint birthday party with several guests being invited. I had been given a special message from God to send them. They got it, and my son said they both were very happy honorees.
Tomorrow I plan to attend a Valentine Banquet for seniors. The cooks will serve grilled steaks with baked potato and salad. It is always a super nice event, and I enjoy seeing all my friends whom don’t always come to the regular luncheons. A beautify decorated dinning room with real china and silverware does something special to my lonely heart. I am always thankful for so many blessings which God gives me.
Each day I am expanding my social life after so long of being withdrawn from it. I feel like I have come through a valley of death. My husband, several family members, and many close friends have passed away recently. Some of my family have been healed from near-death instances. I have to praise God daily for these, and that is why I always have a smile. I know I have a friend in Jesus that sticks beside me even in the hardest of times. I am happy today, and will be happy tomorrow, and every day no matter what comes my way. The human nature is to doubt and fear. Everyone is doomed with these two evils, but if Jesus is within our reach, (depending upon our daily walk with Him,) He will take us by the hand and lead us through. He will even turn us lose to go out and enjoy such things as a special Valentines Banquet. “Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow may never come.” Luke 5:27-39 KJV. I will do as the word tells me by His grace. I have always liked this quote, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” I believe this with all my heart. There is such a thing as a God approved laugh. We all know the difference. If the heart is right, the laugh will be approved.
God Bless
