"I Was In Need Of A Great Blessing"
What a blessing it was to attend the women’s conference meeting at Community Worship Center yesterday. About 400 women gathered to enjoy a full day of fun, worship, fellowship, and delicious food. The meeting was perfectly organized, and I was so proud to be a part of such a wonderful event in my own city. The speaker, Sharon Sands, was both humorous and spiritual. She created an atmosphere of wide spread praise throughout the large crowd. I have to give praise also to the many workers who made this special event possible. The tables were beautifully, diversely, decorated in awesome arrangements. The table I sat at was adorned with amazing patriotically servers. The flatware was shiny, silver, plastic that I thought was real silver until I picked up a spoon. All eight ladies eating at that table were made to feel more thankful to God for this great country which we are fighting hard for at this time. Our hostess was especially kind and interested in each one of us enjoying ourselves. I did not stay for the second session because I had become too tired after the first five hours. The rest of the meeting was mostly singing a few songs and drawing for door prizes. It would have been interesting but my body was not up to it. I am thankful that I was privileged to attend such an inspiring meeting, and I am thankful for the beautiful church facilities shared by Community Worship Center.
I am strengthened today by going to this meeting while I wait for word that one of my great grandsons has passed on. He has been put in hospice and is expected to succumb from the terrible accident he was involved in six years ago. He was left paralyzed from his neck down every since he was hit by a car while he was riding a scooter. His brain was not injured, but he had to wear a neck brace so he couldn’t turn his head. This child is 20 now and has been a trooper all these years. The fact that he has known all these years that he didn’t have long to live has made it harder for him to deal with. I could write a book about this boy that would bring tears to anyone’s eyes who read it, but I will never do it. I was present when he was taken from his mothers tummy by C-section. He had a serious breathing problem, and the doctors was not sure he would live. While they were making arrangements to transfer him to a more modern hospital, his mother and I held hands and asked God to heal him. The answer came immediately, and the baby went home the next day. The baby grew with family problems which was very difficult for him, but he managed to live for 14 years before being in this awful accident. I have to believe that God has a special reward for him. I love him so much, but have only been able to pray for him all these years. Many miles have separated us, and I have only got to see him a few times since the accident. I will get over his loss, but not without much pain from my heart. I don’t see how the pain could be much worse than what it has been all this child’s life.
God Bless

"My Mother's Spirit And I Walked Together Today"
I walked through my yard today with my mother’s spirit. I remembered when mom used to come outside and join me while I was playing around in the yard. She sometimes would say lets go for a walk. We lived in the country and there was lots of space for one to venture through barnyards, pasture, orchard, and a short walk took us to the creek bottom that ran through our place. There we watched squirrels scampering up trees, and sometimes dipped our feet in the shallow stream. My mom was always young at heart, and made us children laugh a lot. She seemed more like a big sister to me than a mother. I loved being alone with mom, and listening to her interesting stories about her childhood. She was the youngest child in her parents family with eight years between she and the next youngest child, a brother. I knew she was pretty spoiled because I heard my uncle Less talking to her a lot. He treated her like she was his daughter. She also loved him a lot. Mom’s other siblings were half brothers and sisters as her mother was left a widow at a young age with three small children. They were about grown when my mom was born.
Today as I walked around my yard I felt my mother’s spirit walking beside me. I am not sure just what it meant, but I was reminiscing and it seemed so nice. My mother has been gone from this life for 24 years. I still miss her every day. If I could have her back I know I would spend more time with her. I would also treat her with more respect than I sometimes did. It’s strange how the behavior of our past comes back to haunt us many years later. We can ask Jesus to forgive us every day, but we cannot ask those we loved so much to forgive us after they are gone, however I can do better to help the ones I still have with me to cheer up and take a walk with me. I think this may be why I had this strange experience such as I did today. I need to think more about others and less about myself. With God’s help I will do that. I have been left to know how lonely and discouraged one can become in this dimming life. It gets harder with time, and only I can help the situation. I realize one has to be strong and make right choices or the burden of life can over take you. I trust God to open my eyes to where I need to go and what I need to say. Someone, somewhere needs me, and I need them as well. I am reminded of the song a man wrote after he lost his loving wife. He was lost and didn’t know where to go, so he wrote the song, “Take My Hand Precious Lord Lead Me On.” I love that song, and now I am singing it for my own prayer.
God Bless

"Dead But Alive"
November the 3rd one day after the Cubs made history in 2016. I am glad they won, but a little sad the Indians didn’t win. The Cleveland Indian’s baseball team was Perryton, Texas favorite major league team for several years while Perryton’s first son, Mike Hargrove, coached them. Mike did good while he was with the Cleveland Indians. Perryton, Texas has a Mike Hargrove sign at both entrances’ into the town. They also have a baseball field called Mike Hargrove Field. Mike made us all proud. He is just one of several hometown personalities who have made Perryton, Texas proud. We do enjoy living in this town known as “Perryton Pride.”
I made a quick walk through the dying back yard and saw this gorgeous bright sun hovering over many small white clouds. It was so interesting to look at. When there is nothing pretty on the ground to look at just lift your head and look up. There is nearly always something of interest above the ground. I was reminded of the space station I heard about last night on the news. The astronauts up there are being sent a ballet to vote for their choice for president. With just five days left it sounds mighty speedy to me. It also sounds like fiction, but we know that it is all very true. What are we turning into? How long will we be studying trying to keep our active minds acting properly? It seems like when I have finally got something learned in this modern time, it all gets changed and I have to start all over. One thing I know that won’t change I will never get on a missile to go to outer space. I have heard that in the near future it will be available for anyone to do just that. I want to help Donald Trump to make America Great again and stay with her. I do read my bible a lot, but to my knowledge I cannot find anything about people becoming so wise that they can be shot to the moon. Yet we know it has happened. Am I missing something in the bible? I probably need to enter a school of ancient bible history, except I don’t think I would pass an entrance test. At least I do have something to think about each day that I continue to live.
I am happy to be attending a Women’s Conference this Saturday at the CWC here in Perryton. The speaker will be Sharon Sands. I have attended these meeting before and they are truly a blessing. This is something the Community Worship Center has each year with a different speaker each time. It always draws a big crowd of women, and I enjoy it so much. Hope to see a lot of my friends there. A good meal is served at noon, and it is always special. Everyone is welcome, and a very friendly atmosphere can be felt in every crack and corner. Come shouting in, and share the blessings.
God Bless

Jean's Comment's: "World Series 2016"

"World Series 2016"
I used to be an avid baseball fan for many years until several years ago the Majors decided to go on strike, and I haven’t watched them since. But somehow I happened to turn onto the fourth game in this years World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs. I was hearing the stats on both teams, and suddenly became interested. I had been thinking that Chicago had become a God-forsaken state after hearing about all the run-a-way crime and murders for the past few years. I wondered if this was the same Chicago that now was playing in the World Series. Then for several years one of our own home town boys coached the Cleveland Indians. Mike Hargrove I believe took the Indians to the World Series at least one time. He has been retired now for a few years, but I still have a special place for the Indians. So with all that being said I decided the Cubs needed to have my support more than the Indians since Mike Hargrove was no longer their coach. As I said my first game to watch this year in the World Series was number four. The Indians had won the first three games, and now the Cubs was ahead in the fourth game 3 to 1. Suddenly this game got exciting. But then when the Indians made another score, I lost interest and went to bed. To my surprise the next morning I learned the Cubs had won the game. Now the score was 3 to 2. Another game would have to be played. I forgot to watch it the next night, but learned the next morning the Cubs had won again. Now the score was 3 to 3. I was buried in disbelief. Tonight the seventh game will be played then the World Series will be history for 2016. I don’t plan to watch it, because I cannot take the emotional stress like I used to. You see I want both teams to win. What a bummer am I. When you’re not really rooting for one team to win it just don’t seem as exciting, yet I do want to know who won the World Series for 2016. I think if I was not so mired up in the political news I would watch the play-offs tonight. The presidential winner is far more important and takes priority over all else. I will be analyzing the winner of the game tonight with the greatest of my brain power. I’m sure no one will ask me for my results, so I will keep it all to myself. All things happen for a reason, and I try hard to find the reason. This is the part of me that keeps me alive and happy. When I go to bed at night and can’t sleep I have loads of homework to work on. It’s nice not to remember when you quit working and went to sleep. Enjoy the game or yell your head off at the corruption of politics. Which ever you choose.
God Bless
