Hour Glass

Wow a sunny day!

Reminds me that the strength of the human spirit will prevail!

Hope springs eternally!

The strawberry Tea was a wonderful success and took a lot of hard work by a lot of people; especially Jane the convener.  It was a lot of fun for dad and I as we took turns at the book table but people keep telling me about how good certain books were and I was tempted to bring home a bag full.  So I did.  Panteli took us out To White Spot so that was very much appreciated after my busy day.

I am so happy a place has been found to have the wedding at.  Life often does seem to create problems that need solving and it is good when answers come.

Now for something to laugh about.

Many Years ago I had, I think I can safely say, an hour glass figure.  But not anymore it is more like those egg timers where the sand runs to the bottom.  The main problem is figuring out what size I am.

The same size can be different in another style and yes I do not like trying on clothes.  Smaller on top and wider in the middle.

On my morning walk it was not raining and I meet three of my favorite people.  Johanna, has chronic pain and tells me about her life and her determination to keep walking.  We walk about the same pace which is good and there is an understanding between us, she is a very genuine person without pretense and a great sense of humor!  Then I meet the bicycle lady, so enthusiastic,  who always encourages me with a smile and a few words.  Last there is the young man who thanks me for keeping his neighborhood clean and asks me how I am.  Of course I say fine.

I have decided to look into the healing stories told about Jesus in the gospels.  Each gospel is told from a different perspective, for different purposes and of course different personalities.  Like all of us we all can remember things differently.

In studying scripture one needs to learn about the Eastern culture that was passionately religious and that longed for God's great redemption.  The love of the Father expressed through the Son in the miracle of healing.

Today I will be visiting the dear old folks.  Carol arrives to-night which is exciting and Theresa has plans made for the week-end mostly with Ben and Morgan.
