Life Goes On

Wow! I am learning so many new things!
For one thing, when I type a new post on a laptop and all of a sudden the whole thing disappears, where does it go????
And then when you wait a day and type one again, and the same thing happens, is it telling you somethin??? like, maybe, forget it and give it up??
But I am a stubborn ole cuss, so here I am again. Someone please let me know that all this is worth it and that someone is reading these blogs besides me. Please...
I just got back from lp and I had a wonderful time down there.
I had the chance to cook for two of my grandkids and they brought friends..which was alright with me...they asked in advance..which I thought was very nice of them. I did warn them to do that because I was frying chicken and I wanted to be sure to have enough for everyone...and I did. I am looking forward to more meals with them, that is for sure...I hope, I hope.
Then I had a chance too to cook for my daughter's birthday...late though it was. I made her favorite casserole. And it was kind of tricky. I have almost forgotten how to cook some of these dishes that used to be done all the time. I don't think I have cooked that particular recipe in 30 years. Can't imagine how she remembers what it even tasted like...she was so young then. Precious.
I am in the process of exchanging some of my furniture in my one home with some of the furniture in my 2nd home...just so that they will both feel comfortable to me. I did some of that today...and it worked out beautifully...very pleased with it. I even took some books and precious moments with me and they look great too. It is coming right along.
I am becoming more familiar with people at the church and I am sure I will soon be attending sunday services down there more than I have in the past.
Life is everchanging, isn't it? And I am glad for that because otherwise we would all get into a rut...and that is no good. I believe God wants us to live each day to the fullest with His guidance and always sharing Him and what He gives us to share...whether it is words, love, understanding, kindnesses, or monetary things to those who need them.
I have been blessed with a new handyman. I found him through the church that my daughter attends. He is a new Christian. He has a wife (she has a job) and four children, but he is temporarily out of work. I am keeping him busy and he is truly a blessing from God. He told me they had been praying for some way for him to bring in a little money and then the next day I called him. He is honest and personable. I have also found him a job with another person when he finishes my list.
However, he did put me to shame the other day....or, should I say, he opened my eyes?
I had purposely purchased too many groceries and I asked him to take some to his house. ..slyly of course, so as not to embarrass him...and he said...oh, this is great. our church is gathering food for the needy and I will put it in there.
Man! My mouth almost fell open. I was ashamed that I had not bought some for him and for the church. He had so little...no job and all...and he was giving to the needy. Isn't that an eye-opener?? It surely worked for me. Has made me want to be more aware of where I can give more to those who need it. Life goes on, and there are always people sent to you to help you learn again how wonderful God is and how He plans for you to do His will. Walk with God.
