"Happy Father's Day In Heaven And On Earth"
It was a pleasure to meet with friends and dine at the Lake Fryer Lobo last evening. The food there is always extra good. A very friendly atmosphere is waiting there. This lake is about twenty miles from our town of Perryton, and many people frequent it regularly. The fishing is good, and the campsites are equipped with water and electricity. The restaurant is always busy since they serve good food. Lots of people drive out there from other cities nearby just to eat. Catfish, and assorted sea foods are a special there. The feeling is almost like, “we went on a short Cruz.” It’s always nice to meet with our group every Saturday night and share our blessings. We meet at different locations, so once about every six weeks is all we get to go on these short Cruz's. Car pools are provided when we go out of town.
The fathers at church today was honored in a slightly less way than the mothers are on their day. It seems unfair, but the fathers seemed more responsible to ask God for wisdom and guidance than to be given a flower. We have some great fathers in our church. They do spoil their wives a bit. We head a good sermon, and our little fatherless pastor did a good job in showing gratitude to all the fathers. He and his wife had to give up the blessing of having children shortly after marriage due to a surgery that was necessary for the wife. We do love them so much. We have had this pastor for nearly ten years. He still is young to most of us. He has brought a lot of younger people into our church. That is certainly what the churches need to day.
It is nice to have cooler weather today. We had 106 and 108 degree temperature the last couple of days. It is like 80 today. Our city swimming pool has been overflowing with people seeking comfort. We are proud of the newly remodeled, and extended size of our pool. We now have a mini Wonderland Park. Modern pool equipment of all kinds has been added. The community I live in has not yet been intruded by evil people wanting to destroy everything good about America. We don’t know how much longer we can claim this blessing since so many communities have been clobbered with mean, ungodly, beast-like humans. Just when we think we have it all under control another group of unexpected people join forces with the evil determined to destroy America. I heard in the sermon this morning that a Godly President does not mean we will beat out the evil that surrounds us to the point of hopelessness. Is this saying God has turned His back on us? I hesitate to celebrate a victory yet, even though I feel certain God put this present President in office to fight for His people. How long will this war of religion last? Christ is being persecuted more now than when He lived on earth. Never, never deny Christ.

Jean's Comment's: "A Great Reunion Day"
Jean's Comment's: "A Great Reunion Day": Family reunion at Thunderbird lake. 6-10-2017 Perryton TX Baby ...
"A Great Reunion Day"
I am back home and rested up after a great time of enjoyment at a family reunion. One of my nephews treated the entire group with a full course bar-B-Q dinner prepared by a catering service near by. Brisker, ribs, turkey, Cole slaw, potato salad, and baked beans. It was more than delicious. Then there were lots of other food ranging from home-made pies, and cinnamon rolls, to saluted’ and picked vegetables. Fresh fruits were in trays with wonderful tasting dips. Gallon jars of home-made cookies were sitting around. Drinks included gallons of sweetened and unsweetened tea, lemonade, punch, orange juice, soda pop and coffee. Nothing was lacking at this dinner. Many tents were set up, and air mattresses were blown up for great comfort. Air inflated boats, and floaters of all kinds kept the younger set fully entertained the entire time. Even the babies had air filled pools with water enough to splash and lie down in. The huge nice lake was just a short distance from the campsite. There was a continuous cool breeze sweeping through the trees and sheltered dinning table area. A very large commercial fan was also running for more cool comfort. All in all it was a great reunion where many came together who had not seen each other in years. For some it was a first time to meet members of a family that they had become a part of. Most of the older set chose to stay in motels instead of tents. A little spoiled, I believe. It was exciting to even the older ones to see all the fun the younger group were having. It is nice to be back home.
Not much happened while I was gone except the yard grew a lot of tall grass, and the flowers were suffering from lack of water. I will tackle this job next week since today is Saturday. Tonight I will be attending the Widow and Widower’s meeting at Lake Fryer. I am anxious to get back to that since I have missed two meetings. Friends are the next best things after family. I really appreciate every one of mine. They are always there for me. I hope I can always be there for them.
I have mostly rested since I’ve been home. It was a long tiring trip. I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled at the time of the reunion also. I needed an heart echo made. I received word from my doctor yesterday that my heart is strong, and everything is fine. I love this man. I wish I could keep him forever, but he is two hundred and sixty miles from where I live. I probably better make some changes before long. I have been seeing this doctor for four years. He is my nephew’s doctor in Oklahoma City, and that is why I am going to him. My nephew thinks he is the best. I agree with that. Time and prayer will lead me to make the right decision. I am firm on that belief.
God Bless

"A Future Place Of Beauty"
I’m excited about all the new flower plants growing in my garden. I can vision a beautiful, colorful, garden of flowers in a few weeks. I’m keeping the weeds out, so the flowers should show off nicely. I gave them a good watering this morning, and they look so refreshed. When I return from the family reunion in a few days, I will be doing a lot of sprucing up in the flower garden. I am 100 percent focused on this small area of my yard. It used to be my vegetable garden, but last year I turned it into strictly flowers. Most of the flowers this year are come-backs from last year with lots more than grew last year. They are showing off their little ones; And who doesn’t like babies? I will be anxious to get back to them after the reunion is over.
I am enthused about going to the family reunion this coming Saturday. If all goes as planned a large group will be attending with tents and camping gear to pitch at Thunderbird Lake neat Norman, Oklahoma. This is a nice lake with necessary facilities to accommodate, and serve all needs. Electricity, water hydrants, shower houses, grills, and much more. A covered shelter provides shade, and shuts off rain from tables where food will be served.
The younger set are thoroughly excited about sleeping in a tent after crawling into a sleeping bag. The older of the group are more sophisticated since they have already had enough of roughing it, and they have reserved motel rooms. All of this just has to be a great blessing to everyone. We pray for God’s protection on all attending.
There is always the possibility of floods or tornados. It seems as though everything is a gamble anymore. If it’s not terrorist attacks, it’s some kind of natural disaster waiting to strike. We just want everyone to be aware of these kind of things, and be thinking about what to do in case something unexpected does happen. The most important thing of all is trust in God. He will be by our side throughout the duration of the reunion. This family hasn’t had a reunion in several years, and we will be missing a lot of our loving members. They have been called away to their eternal home on high. I’m so thankful that the younger ones remember the example set before them by these missing “Jesus” supporters. “Train up a child in a way they should go, and when they are old they shall not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6. Every parent with little ones should remember this bible teaching. The grandparents should be proud if they honored this bible teaching and trained their children right. Grandparents should be grandchildren’s most prized possession. I hope we have not failed. Now “let us eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow may never come.”
God Bless
