It was nice to be home after spending the week-end with my good friend in Clinton, Oklahoma. We stayed in the nice Hampton Motel while there. Breakfast this morning was wonderful. The motel furnishes the finest food and drinks anyone could ask for. We spent some time enjoying playing the slots at the Lucky Star Casino. The weather was good, and we had no problem with the one hundred and sixty mile trip there and back. It was a much needed time to get away and relax for awhile. After a good nights rest tonight I will be ready to hit the workload tomorrow. Its amazing how a few days away from home can lift ones spirit, and make them feel refreshed by just leaving all the daily news behind, and forgetting everything but having some fun. Of course I will be catching up tomorrow. I feel like my motor has been overhauled, and ready for many more miles. I give my Lord praise for this wonderful, renewed strength.
After breakfast this morning we drove to the place where both of us grew up near Weatherford, Oklahoma. Then we took a drive to the place where our family had reunions for years. I can’t explain the exciting feeling of recalling so many great times I had enjoyed over the many years I had lived around Weatherford and Colony. I still have many friends who chose never to leave the happy homeland. The communities in these locations have done nothing but improve over the years. Nothing looks outdated or vacant. So many of my loved ones, and many friends have moved to their eternal home, but they left their memories behind. I look forward to going back and doing the same things over again in the near future.
The best thing about this trip was that God was so close to me I could almost touch Him. It was like He was my unseen constant, companion. No human with all their love for me could ever do as much for me as my Lord did. Its hard to understand how He could care so much. What’s even harder to understand is how He can love everyone the same, and is just as close to all if only they will trust Him. I would like to tell you some of the unbelievable things He did for me on this trip, but it would take too long, and so many wouldn’t believe anyway. As long as He continues to prove Himself to me over and over, that’s all that matters. I know I don’t deserve these blessings, but He does wonderful things for me anyway. He has just recently brought my son back from death, but some will never be able to believe that, even though they see it. They would rather call it luck. I call it what it is, “the healing power of Jesus.” “How Great God Is.” Glory! Glory! To His name.
God Bless
