Gladness, joy, maybe a bit of wackiness are all around us. Enjoying the moment makes the day brighter.
Going into the church yesterday morning for the senior breakfast, I met a lady I didn’t know. We introduced ourselves. Her name was Betty.
“I’m not very good with remembering names,” she said.
“Oh, well, in that case, I’m Liz Taylor,” I said.
She grinned. “I can see the resemblance. I’m Tammy Wynette.”
“Great. Will you sing for us, Tammy?”
The nonsense ended as we went inside the church for waffles, bacon and coffee and to see a video. The food was good and so was the video of the senior group’s recent trip. I especially wanted to see the life-size replica of Noah’s Ark. Awe-inspiring.
The fun day continued as Jane and I went to Robbie’s for her first monthly luncheon since Fran moved to South Carolina. Peg arrived just as we did and later, Nancy joined us. Four of us Cozy Critters! Several other ladies increased our number to nine or ten (I didn’t really count.) Robbie’s home is lovely and adorned with original oil paintings by this talented lady. I came away with two enticing recipes from Robbie for peach cobbler and white chili. Delicious!
The election for President of the United States draws ever nearer. Please consider prayerfully and thoughtfully who you’ll vote for. I have never knowingly voted for anyone who supports abortion and don’t plan to start now.
Thanksgiving also draws closer. So much to be thankful for! The Lord’s mercies are new every morning. I’m grateful to be living in a free Nation and cannot respect those who refuse to stand for the National Anthem.
Another week is ending. Time is rolling on. I’m grateful for friends and the gladness they bring into my life. Let’s enjoy each day and see opportunities to lighten someone’s load along the way. Blessing others is a blessing in itself.
