You know how it is when you are so tired, weary really, that you know you'll fall asleep before your head even hits the pillow. Well that was me last night. I went to bed exhausted and found myself wide awake. Yep couldn't have been any more awake. I laid there for hours tossing and turning when I looked at the clock I realized that my friends were just pulling in the gate at Sunbury ready to start their day....
Then I remembered meeting the ladies at the laundry room with sawbona they would reply "kunjani" and I would say "siyaphila" and finally they would say "yebo" (greetings, how are you, I am fine, yes - I don't know why they say yes but they do) then they would laugh and correct my pronunciation. My day would start with joy in my heart and a smile. I lifted each of them in prayer Ntombifuthi, Monica, Maria, Ellen Zandi and finally Lina. It wasn't long before I was sound asleep. Perhaps, just perhaps, they needed my prayers today.
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I thank my God for the blessing they were and the memories of them that fill my heart. May Gods riches blessing be on each of them today and all of their days.

My Legacy
Is been so long since I've blogged, and I miss it. We are on project,with SOWERS, in Trinity Texas. One of the things I love about SOWERS is devotions. Every day from 7:30 - 8:00, nuggets of gold from Gods word, it is the best way to start the day.
Yesterday was about our legacy. I guess I'd never thought too much about it, but it is true we do leave a legacy whether we want to or not. We have so many wonderful examples in scripture: Moses, Joshua, Ruth, Hannah, Esther, David, the prophets, Dorcas, the disciples and of course our Lord himself. So, what kind of legacy am I leaving for my children, grand children, and those God places in my path? It is a sobering thing to think about and something I will be called in account for one day.
It is my prayer that God will use me for His glory , that is the legacy I desire
to leave behind that my life was used up for my Lord savior and redeemer.
I know that can only happen if I give him my days my hours and my passing
moments.

On the road again
Well we are once again on the road. It seems such a long time ago that we were on the road with our home trailing behind, seems familiar but more like a dream. Yet here we are in Hitchcock Texas so far from home.
The project is a church/ camp.
Howard is building a cabinet with drawers while I am making matterice sacs. I will say my machine is not completely happy with the job. The fabric is a heavy vinyl and she groans like an old lady in the rain, but she's getting the job done so far.
This past week I had a call that a very dear friend of mine has gone to be with Jesus. I really felt the need to be with her family and so I'm am now in Wadsworth to say my earthly farewells.
Betty was like a second mom to me and I know that one day we will meet again. Let me say here, "Thank you Betty for all the times you took me to church, Jet Cadets and all the time you spent loving me. You were Christ heart, hand and feet to me. Only God knows the ripples you placed in others lives for Him. "
