Dad's Birthday what a BANG to Memorial Day

what a truly amazing month for me...I have throughly enjoyed myself...I have laughed an cried and made lots of new discoveries. Life is too short not to stop and enjoy the roses. I cannot believe how Dad's poor birthday ended with Mother "accidentally" running into or bumping Kathryn's middle garage door...Hannah was hysterical and I had to hold my laughter until I left and got the highway where I had to pull off and laugh and regain my composurer. Mother's Day wasnt' anything exciting...I have been working too hard and too long of hours so that hasn't been a good thing for my family. Then Kathryn's birthday would find me in a mess because of a job I bit off that is too much but maybe that is God's way of getting me to start saying NO. I have lots a friend and client this month and so that has left me to think a lot about the things in life that we cannot control but hae a know legde of but maybe not always the clearest knowledge.
Then Peru also lost another awesome member of the community in an automobile accident and It makes you stop and think of how lucky we are and of the many things that I know I take for GRANTED. Also I was "lucky" enough to make a radio commercial for the Hack's Windows and Doors...what an experince....I sound like a drag queen with a cigarette hanging out my mouth. I also was called a slut--yes a slut by a client of 10 years...said my hair was too dark and my earrings too big. WHOOPIE! aren't I lucky.
Then take a look at the photos from the Memorial Day celebration...and once again Mother out did herself with Kirk...I know that somewhere they were kindred spirits but he THINKS that Dad is depriving her of something ------SEX. She had all these games ready to play and she even came dressed or made -up to play one....she had freckles for what we are not sure. But Kirk asked Dad to please take her to a motle and play these kinky games with her so that she will get it out of her system and then when we went to play an animal game that was ALL DEAR MOTHER WROTE...Kirk thought she was wanting to ride ------------------------anyway what is wrong with him. We had a good time and thank goodness I can laugh about it. It is better to find joy in life than sorrow and it is better to thankful than sorry for the things we do not do or say in life. OH!!!! by the way Maggie and I were able to fiddle for our family.

Alittle of this and a little of that--some things I just can't leave you out of

What is life dealing us?

I am not really sure why we are not just told by the Spirit some times to just go and do something instead of second guessing ourselves. I lost a good friend and Client this week and it breaks my heart that his wife is left alone to decide if she will allow Christ into her life. She is one of eleven children and Earl was one of nine and the they were BLESSED with a handicapp child that was only suppose to live to the age of 7 or 8 and lived to be 52. I would think that knowing that and they touched lives at that difficult time in their life that they would know for a surety that someone else was there lending a support. Today's funeral was as hard for me as a child's funeral because of the not knowing and me wanting to tell her all that I KNOW for sure. I hope that with time and prayers that she will come to some understand with herself that God is there for her and that she wasn't diseased with her handicapp child but that God played the wonderful part of knowing that she would be nutured. Then when I was driving into work very early this morning I was thinking about the Primary Activity day we were having about walking where CHrist has walked and it just broke my heart to think that this wonderful lady will not LET herself look at the sunset without bitterness or think a good deed. I was thinking about Monday they would have been married 62 years and there are not too many people that could say that. Especially in this day and age...and then when the chaplin spoke about how Gerri and Earl had met and married within three months and that she had told him she didn't know what she would do now with her time because they had always discussed everything and solved all kind of world problems. She aslo told the minster that they had developed their lives together and woud grow on the other ones strong points and help with the others weeknesses. She said that Earl was perfect to her and that if she had to find fault it would be that he didn't always shut cabinet doors that she would sometimes hit her head on. I think that says alot about that wonderful couple that compliment each other so well after 62 years...and to say you are married to someone perfect is a wonderful thing.
I had had a prompting to go talk with Gerri and Earl on Tuesday and didn't listen. I felt that I was butting in somewhere I didn't belong and when the call cam Wenseday that Earl was gone I was shattered at me not acting upon something that I had felt so strongly...dont wait if there is something that needs to be said or done. Do what you think and feel in your heart is important. God knows the intent of our hearts but we need to act on them for ourselves.
