The angel lite up on top of the silverware chest is a gift from a granddaughter given to me 25 years ago. There was a note inside that read, "grandma please keep this angel lite up and remember to pray for me every day. She was a very young wife and mother at the time. I have honored that request every day since. 12-7-2018 Perryton TX
Christmas time always
brings many joys along with many tears. I have been busy this morning
patching Chuck's jeans because I refuse to let him wear then with
holes in the knees. He likes the knees showing, but I don't. Even If
I bought him new ones he wouldn't wear them as long as he could get
his old ones to hang on him. This is not a new trend with him. I
think he started this trend when he was in high school. He is now 67.
He now has lots of others enjoying that trend also. From grade school
to social security age I see bare knees, and sometimes more. At least
he never let his jeans hang down to his butt, and let his under ware
show. These jeans were beyond iron-on patches. I used the better part
of another pair of jeans to repair these. I was seriously doing a
professional job which took over three hours, It brought back old
memories when as a child I used to patch my dad, and brother's
jeans. They were not like my son. They would rather to have had new
ones, but our family couldn't always afford it. I could almost make
my patch work invisible since they were so particular. I felt very
professional. No wonder I got the job of sewing up a ball player's
pants while in school He had ripped them from the crock down to the
bottom of his pants. I was one of about fifteen girls taking
home-economics in high school, but they brought the pants to me. It
was the easiest repair job I ever did. Just had to sew the seams back
up.
After I finished my
patching this morning I had to cry, and thank God for so many
precious memories. I immediately was reminded of this darling angel
that stays lite up the year round. The granddaughter who gave me the
angel is 44 years old, and still needs prayer every day. Without her
faith in grandmother's prayer she might not be here today. She has
managed to survive many terrible things that many of us has never had
to. Only God knows how to diagnose her case, but I will always love
the unfortunate person she was born with. I truly believe she has
tried to be released from the pit she has lived in most of her life,
but it is just too deep for her to climb out of. She was born a
beautiful baby, and is now a beautiful slave of Satan. In spite of
all his evil power he cannot take away her natural beauty. The angel
light will remain lite up until either her death or her release from
Satan. I think the door to her cage is open, but she cannot see it.
Hopefully someday she will find it. She is either in a pit or a cage.
Nothing is impossible with God.
God Bless
