#46. Lunch with a sweet young woman that I love so much. We dined at "The Swanson" (a local restaurant in a downtown historical home) and encouraged each other as we've both been through some trials in our lives and church the past few months. God is so faithful.
#47. A great haircut from my sweet hairdresser, Brooke. Her shop is Salon Seven because she was born 7-7-77. Isn't that the neatest thing? And she is a believer. And my son is her pastor. Love that.
#48. I attended a class by our local county extension agent entitled "Vegetable Gardening 101." I loved it and the teacher just happens to be a deacon from my church. He did great.
#49. Sweet fellowship around great coffee with a great group of friends. Encouragement.
#50. As I type this it is thundering and the rain is coming down hard on my metal roof.
#51. Sharing fresh collard greens from my garden with a friend. She was so excited and told me Sunday at church that they were delicious. I love you, Denise!
#52. Attending a birthday party Saturday morning for a dear friend who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. She embraces life and shares Jesus everywhere she goes. Her mantra is "shine like a highlighter" and she does. There were close to 100 women that dropped by and the money tree had enough for 3 to 4 more months of insurance. My best friend planned the party...and she is an ovarian cancer survivor of one year. She gave out of the abundance of her own grateful heart. There was not a dry eye.
#53. Seeing the widow of our church's pastor that served faithfully for 48 years before he passed away in 2005. We miss him so much and seeing her brought back wonderful memories. Precious woman of God.
#54. Saturday afternoon at a park with my youngest son and his wife and their 9 month old son, our grandson Jackson...followed up with pizza at their house. Good times.
#55. Awesome worship at church...great songs about the blood of Christ, beginning with the hymn "There is a Fountain," and ending with a choir special entitled "Not Guilty." Divine.
#56. Thankfulness for my Dad's recovery from back surgery four weeks ago. He is doing well, much better than I anticipated he would. He is behaving!
#57. A tweet from my grown son...unsolicited and kind. He loves his momma's cooking.
#58. The blessing to teach Sunday School to a group of women this past Sunday...just filling in for someone but I left with the blessing.
#59. Rice Krispy Treats made with Cocoa Krispies...thank you Pam!
#60. My grandboy Zeke is spending the night tonight...he is sleeping in the baby bed that his daddy slept in almost 30 years ago. He played with blocks and toys and hot wheels cars that his daddy and Uncle Jonathan played with as little boys. The legacy of children and grandchildren is my life's joy.
#61. A kind deed from a co-worker today.
#62. My spring garden is growing...pictures soon of Snow Peas!
#64. A letter on the way to Gloria, my Compassion child.
Good Night Sweet Peeps,
