Still feeling happy from a
super nice Valentine party dinner at the Center. I just now made
plans for another fun time on leap year day February 29, at Norman,
Oklahoma. I will be spending two nights with my sisters there. That's
only two weeks away, and I'm already getting anxious. I have found
it's better to take more time away from a home where you live alone,
and have no family close by. I have lots of friends which I am so
thankful for, but they cannot take the place of family. My three
sisters do a good job of filling the vacancy left by my husband. With
all of us being retired there is plenty of time to get together, and
enjoy our remaining days left on earth. I still miss my three
brothers, and my mother, and father, but my sisters help that sadness
also. It's hard to explain loneliness even when everything is so
positive, and promising. A close relationship with family, and
friends cannot be replaced by any measure. I have lots of tears to
share with my close loved ones, and lots of laughs to create a roar.
Lets keep up the faith, and share the blessings. I am honestly always
waiting for a call from anyone who needs a lift. I also am waiting
for a call from anyone who has exciting news to share. Life becomes
very boring without these two privileges being used.
The week-ends are always the hardest times for me to settle down. There is mostly nothing on television but reruns, and never any interesting news. I was never one to watch a lot of movies or sit in silence for long at a time. I like to feel like I'm moving on. The time don't stop, so I want to move with it even though I may not be doing anything necessarily important. Those who for some reason are confined to their recliner, or a wheelchair, I hurt more than they do. I would, if I could, pick them up, and take them on a vacation without crutches. However, I admire the willingness these people have to be what they are left with and still can smile. I have to believe God gives them strength every day, for His own purpose. This world needs more of Jesus, and less of Satan. This scripture makes me believe even more that God wants people to be close together instead of loners. Matthew 18:20 “Where two are three are gathered together in My name there I am in their midst.” He is not saying He will not be with just one, but it is clear the more people believing together will be apt to have more faith. That's why we need each other, more than standing alone. I like my one on one with Jesus, but I also like my fellow Christian believers. Where are some of you, are we sticking together?
God Bless
