Good Morning,
The stars are put away! I continue to wonder how God does that all.
Today is full of wonder. It started about 3:30 a.m. when Joey called saying he couldn't get his truck started. I went to pick him up and bring him over here. He thinks it is the battery. He took my car to work and will check the battery after work. Life continues to be unpredictable.
Going back to bed is a huge option. Getting older requires more sleep, even if it is at different times of the day and night. Using the term older brings back the memories of taking a Sociology class at Texas State, when I was in my 60's. The professor asked a huge class to give her words that described the elderly. She wrote the words on the board. They were all negative words until I shyly raised my hand and said, "Kind, loving, and wise." I knew at that point that the younger generation no longer had respect for the elderly. I loved my grandparents, aunts and uncles. I use to look at their hands and would think about how hard they had worked. No one knows the struggles, I have faced because they never ask or cared to ask.
Actually, my mother's mother died when she was 15 and I never knew her. He dad was a lazy drunk and passed his time with sitting in a chair and tapping his cane. My father lost his dad at age 13, nd his mother remarried a centric old man that was never married or had children of his own. Grandma Severson (that is what we gave her as a title) worked and was only interested in her first born granddaughter, my sister, Janice. Grandpa Al was hard of hearing and much to my parents displeasure would entice kids to laugh and be loud. My great grandmother was the praying power in our family. We were allowed to visit her under my father's close supervision. I always wanted a grandmother that would show me some time and love. I have made lots of mistakes in being a grandparent to my grandchildren but nothing to deserve the rejection and isolation I receive now. Yesterday, God lifted that guilt off of me.
Todays Promise is: If I am for you, no one can stand against you. Romans 8:31
Thank you, Jesus for your kind loving words.
Until tomorrow! My ink flows with love.
