Friends

She called and asked to come over; I was excited that she was coming for a visit.

But, nothing could have surprised me more than when she had me open the big package she was carrying and which was a lovely home-made quilt.

Unreal!

I was very stunned and surprised by that unexpected turn of generosity.

And, it reminds me once again how marvelous it is to have dear friends.

Thank you dear Sharon.  I am beyond grateful.

Kristi!

What a daughter!

What a dear.  I do love that girl!

And, I am thankful.

The Promise of a New Day

so many things to do,

but a new day to try to get them done.

And, I am grateful.

Water

It's pretty scarce in the desert.

But, so far, we are blessed to have enough for our needs.

And, I am grateful.

Our Mission

I always look forward to Monday mornings....

Because, as hard as it is, it's great to see the missionaries.

I love their dedication, commitment, enthusiasm, goodness, dispositions, humour, kindness, fellowship.

And, I am grateful.

A Good Movie

We rarely go to movies; they are just getting too violent, too much sex, too crude, too rough.

So, to see a good one is so fun.

We saw 42, which is the story of Jackie Robinson, the first Black ball player.  It was based on a true story, which I really like.

I'm grateful that occasionally a good movie can be found.

The Sun Rise...

...especially when the night is long.

And hearts are heavy.

I'm always glad for tomorrow and the HOPE of a brighter DAY.
