WHAT A BLESSED WEEKEND

God is so good to give us so many blessings.
Went by Baptist Imaging to get another check up, No more spots there. God is so good
From there we went to Greers Ferry to attend a singing convention at Quitman First Baptist Church, It was wonderful.
My sister Rosette called and wanted to ride with us, I was so excited about that, it was such a good trip. We talked all the way up there, it was so good for her to get away and attend it with her boys and Me of course LOL. It was a glorious weekend. When we got there we went and got a HB, like to have never found a good place to eat. That was the biggest, best HB I have eaten in a while. Not a fast food, made their own patties from real meat. Fries was so good and home made.
We went to the Church and dropped her off with the boys and went on to The cabin where Roy and Faye was, that is where we was staying. It was along the Little Red River, very rustic and really nice, to be so old. They was fishing, not biteing. caught only one weighed about a LB so Roy turned back to grow a little.
Went to singing that night, It was glorious and power filled. Sat night was the same. Sunday we got up went to Church there, the boys was singing there that morning. They served a wonderful lunch, we headed home. Rosie stayed to ride home with the boys. Missed visiting with her. Had a good trip.
Dr. appts next day before we left for our cruise the end of the week. We would have stayed longer if it had not been for that.
God Bless all

ONE YEAR AGO

One year ago today, Oct. 6th, I lost a dear friend and sister. She was so sweet, had a lot of health problems and just could not make it until I returned home. I was totally devistated when I got the news.
We was visiting in California at my other sisters house, got the call about 6:30 their time. Getting ready to head to Sacramento to hop on the plane and return to Arkansas. Talked with her the day before, we laughed and talked, told her I was headed home the next morning, could not wait to see her. Tried to get a flight out the week before could not. "Why could you not wait one more day to leave us." My sister in Bryant had called and wanted to know if I could leave and go to Pine Bluff Hospital, they had Jeanette there and had revived her once. Sad to say I was still in California and could not get there real soon. Shortly we received another call and she was gone. What a sad day to be on a plane traveling many miles so broken hearted. Could not move around, walk , just sit, could not call anyone. It was so hard, just wanted to scream and I certainly could not do that. Had a high fever when I left was very sick, thought it was the stress, it was a bladder infection, went to Dr. the next day. My other sister and Husband left and headed for Arkansas that day which was the Oct. 7th. It was such a sad time, I didn't have half sens, so sick and SAD.
Returning was not exciring anymore.
Just the day before we had talked with her and I told her I would be home tomorrow and her place was the first place I would be coming, did not know she would not live that long.
I don't understand why God could not have waited one more day, but His time is not ours. Time is so short when you really sit down and think about it.
Live your life to the fullest, help everyone you can and Love everyone reguardless.
God Bless all
