Time has been going by faster and faster as I get older and older..ehehhe!! Sound familiar? Hubby and I have 5 grown children between us all married but the youngest. She had a tube put in her ear today so I went to meet her to make sure she was ok...we had a great lunch at Cracker Barrel. As you know my other daughter has been on her Honeymoon this week~! We have grandchildren ranging from 2 to 17! Yep, I can hardly believe the past 28 yrs has passed seeming more like 10...I'm not complaining cuz I love my family and all the grandkids, but I've been thinking lately why I'm feeling I need to be doing something more....I'm loving painting and making jewelry, but God has been speaking to me in my quiet time each more telling me I should be reaching out to others helping those in need. Since I've been home the past few years unable to work I guess I thought there was little I could really do....walking and driving is difficult at times, but I'm not complaining I just need to be doing more to share God's love with all.
Then God gave me an idea...It's perfect!!! I'm going to be going to the nursing home in town to visit those who don't have family visiting often, reading to those who can't anymore. What in the world was I think, there are so many things we can do even if we have some short comings..ehehhehe!!! So, I will go to my sister's in GA, and have a wonderful visit with her, and her family then go to the Potter's House Retreat in NC with her. When I come home I'll be doing what I do best..Visiting with others and maybe even share my art with some...I"m so excited!!! I"d love to hear what you do to serve our Lord.
Blessings for a wonderful FALL.
Here's a little painting I did a couple weeks ago but forgot to share.

That's a great painting. I think it's a good idea to donate time to doing things like you are talking about. I keep telling myself I need to do that, but never get started doing it. I will. Congrats. on you making up your mind to do so. Have a great weekend.
Sounds like a perfect way to reach out. I'm sure it will really mean a lot to them. Hope you and Mary have a truly blessed and awesome time.
