The weather forecaster
predicted 2 to 3 inches of rain tonight in Perryton, Texas. I could
see the dark rain clouds hanging beneath the big white clouds. I took
a picture because it was such a contrast. It appears to be getting
pretty close to us, and we certainly need rain. The flowers and grass
have mostly died, but rain would perk them up for awhile. Autumn
begins in two days, but it looks like it started a month ago. The
fall flowers will be pretty for awhile yet, but I need rain to loosen
up the soil so I can pull up all the dead ones. It looks like I can
start doing that right away.
I have a good week-end
ahead. Tomorrow is lunch at the Center, then Saturday night is a big
fund raiser event with bar-b-q, and all the trimmings. A lot of door
prizes have been donated so we expect a bunch of fun. Sunday will be
church day, and I need that time to show I've been revived since I
have missed several Sundays. The past three or four weeks have built
me up, but I never knew it would be so exceptional. I will be
thanking God in my church pew Sunday. Surprises do still come when we
least expect them. Oh my! How I do love Jesus. He won't leave us
feeling alone for long.
I an somewhat still
saddened about several of my friends, and family going through some
perilous times. It seems as though they are doing more than their
share of suffering, and trying to regain their dignity. I believe
sometimes our faith is just being tried, and if, and when, the Lord
tries us enough He will give us the biggest blessing we have ever
had. I have to be sad, but at the same time hopeful for those who are
struggling with bad times. I have to be the proudest child on earth
for the parents who always taught me that nothing is bad if we have
God in our lives. I have always believed that, and through the worst
of times, I trusted God.
Today was a time when I
was needed to cheer and offer my physical help to a young man who is
going through unbelievable stress with his mother. He has sought help
from every source of hope, but no one seems to be able to help him. I
must say it is about the worst situation I have ever experienced.
Doctors, lawyers, judges and many others have been contacted, but no
one seems to be able to solve the problem. This young man, and his
mother are the only two in their family as far as a family like most
of us know. I did offer my best to try to overcome some of the
problems. But it would just be God if any good can be had in this
case. It is the son that really needs help. His hands are tied, and
his mother with her partly disturbed mind, is hell for him. I have
been a friend of this mother for many years and I can't help but cry
every time I think about the bad situation. Maybe God has been
preparing me for this need, and if so I pray I will not give up, and
walk away. Time will tell.
God Bless
