"A Thankful Widow With Two Mites"

Waiting for shish kebab's to cook on the grill. Some of my family at my son's house. 6-22-2019 Perryton, TX
The following evening after myself, my daughter, my son-in-law, and one of my grandsons arrived at Kent, and Angela's house shish kebabs was grilling while the family sat around the pool visiting. It was a lovely evening, and the dinner was scrumptious. We had traveled several hundred miles to be there so we were treated with the best of everything. We all had had breakfast that morning at a nice restaurant. To say it truthfully I ate more than I should while there, and I gained five pounds. But I would do it all over again if I could. I had lots of fun, and the time I spent with family was priceless. I came home ready to get going again. Before I made this trip I had almost stopped going out anywhere, It was definitely time to get away for awhile. I got home yesterday, and already I went out tonight with the Widowed Group for dinner at our nice Lake Restaurant. It was an evening of relaxing with some very wonderful people. Tomorrow morning is church, and the next morning is Senior Citizen's lunch at the Center. Yes, I think I have recuperated from my addition of political news, and now I am free to go and do the things I've always enjoyed doing. I don't mean that I have withdrawn from all the important world news, but it will be second on my priority list. My painting will be first, then a little news, with dress up time for going out next.


My bedtime prayers will continue for out President as he fights to keep our country safe. That is about all I can do for him, but that will be enough. God is the answer to all our problems, and it doesn't take long to ask Him to help us. What I can't do, God has someone else who can. That's the way He works. We all are his helpers, and He uses us all in some way. Hallelujah, to His name. We should all be shouting instead of worrying. Someway, somehow, I plan to stop worrying, and start claiming His blessings even though I may be blind to them now. We live by faith, and not by sight. That is to say I will be humble, not foolish. I will be patient, not overzealous. I will be content, not wish-washy. At least that will be my goal. I do feel like we sometimes mistake our blessing for something someone did for us that we were not expecting, and thought it just to be out of one's love for us. We thank the person instead of God. We should thank them both. I usually do, but still remember the person's gift longer than God's gift. How can God bless us lest it come from earthly means? Even healing comes through the hands of doctors. Of course I know there has been healing without doctors, but remember Jesus was a Physician while here on earth. I still believe He is the great Physician over all others. Trust Him now, and always. Amen.


God Bless
