Catfish was the specialty today at Senior Citizen’s Center. I had never tasted better fish anywhere before. It was served with fried potatoes, salad, and brown beans. Hush puppies just hit the spot. Pineapple custard pie was the dessert, and it was delicious. I’m so thankful for this nice place to eat and enjoy friendship. Every time I go I hear some local news that I wouldn’t have heard had I not gone to eat lunch there. I learned today about the friend which I posted about two days ago who had fallen and broken her neck. She had passed away, and I was shocked to hear that, although I knew it was bad. The accident she had by falling happened last Wednesday, and I heard about it at the Center right after it happened. I wouldn’t have heard that news at least until Sunday when our local paper comes out. Today is Friday. The paper never lists the cause of death. Our Senior Citizen’s Center is a heaven of love, and concern, for all who live in our community. We all work hard to keep up the expense so we can continue to bask, and be blessed in this lovely building of outreached wings. May God bless the laborers and the donors to this special place.
I think I was a little depressed about the bad news, because I can’t think of any other reason I would have laid around after coming home, and doing nothing. I am late with this blog like other things I intended to do. I do have the sweet fellowship I enjoyed at the Center, keeping me strong, and remembering the sorrowful faces of those who sat at my table. We will all stick together through thick and thin. Tomorrow will bring back rejoicing in His name, and we will be forever grateful for His wisdom and guidance. Tomorrow evening I plan to be meeting with another group of friends to share a meal, and a time of late news concerning the members of this party. I can report on two or three, in case some may not have heard the latest. I may hear something more that I hadn’t heard. Our interest, and prayers for each other means a lot to those who are struggling with a difficult time.
The beautiful sun has just sank in the east, and I am alone in the darkness of night. Yet I am not alone. I have that constant Spirit reminding me that I am not alone. He will protect me through the night, and give me new excitement tomorrow. Before I go to bed I will ask God to give all my family and friends, and even those whom I’ve never met, that same wonderful assurance that He gives me. When I was a young child I had to say a bible verse by memory every Sunday I went to church. The part of a verse I learned is still with me today. “Be ye kind one to another.” I will always treasure this short verse.
God Bless
