"Think Upon Good Things"

         Roses are blooming nicely. They make my house look alive. 5-30-2019 Perryton, TX
 

The roses at my house withstood a lot of hard rain, and some hail, but they are still pretty. More are coming on every day. The ground is white with rose petals, but the bushes are still very pretty. They need some trimming, and I will be doing that tomorrow. Will also be sitting out some plants in my empty planters. That is if it doesn't rain again tonight. We do have a 10 percent chance of rain, and my yard is supposed to get mowed tomorrow.


It's been lonesome since my children left to go home. They spent three nights with me, and it was so nice being with them. I still hear their echo. When I wake up at night I have to remember they are not still here. How hard it is to get old, and have to live alone. But I am so thankful that all my children have their own families, and are very happy. I had mine for quite some time. I can still see them often, and enjoy their sweet presence. I talked with my daughter today. She is excited about one of her sons joining us when we go to visit one of my sons in two weeks. This will be a great time for all of us. We will be grilling steaks, and sitting around the pool catching up on all the family news. In the evening we will be taking a few hours and going to a gaming place. It is a very nice place, and so relaxing.


I have been at work today and have missed out on the news. Politics just won't go away so I'm looking forward to going away from them for awhile. I trust God to keep everything under control since I will not be here to do my part. I think He can manage just fine without me. Seriously we are in very troubling times, and it seems to get worse every day. Fraud is growing by leaps and bounds daily. We dare trust anyone any more if we don't know them personally. We wonder how much longer will God allow this evil to keep growing. I am so tired of telephone calls that I am positive are nothing but scammers. I hang up right away, but it still makes me angry which I do not need to deal with. Some days I have five or six of such calls. Many times I can't even understand what they are saying. How much the world has changed since I was a child is unbelievable. I have to believe we are on the outskirts of hell. I certainly do not want to get any closer to that everlasting, tor mental, cave. Only by faith will we be able to stay far from that reality. We must stay close to God, and keep our minds clear. Too many drugs that doctors are freely giving now, will block our minds from thinking clearly. I have seen it happen to many of my friends although they are not aware of it. We must hold onto the Word of God, and refuse to let doctors tell us we need nerve pills, and sleeping aids. I choose to tough it out without those kind of drugs. I don't have too much longer to go, and I will keep the faith as long as I have a mind.


God Bless
