A day on the farm

Friday August 3

The heat and humidity is about to get to me. Yes, this southerner has had enough!!!!!  I was finally able to get my computer to download the copy of Small Town Living. I loved it. My dear friend Tina and her husband is the ones who publishes this and they do a wonderful job.

Tess, the oldest of the kids, told yesterday that one of her students was killed in a car wreck. The girl was only 16. The girl's Mom teaches school with Tessa. That makes 2 young lives taken here this past week. So sad.

I was contacted by my church, I have to do the program this coming Tuesday night in our Ladies Prayer Group. My mind is blank. I have nothing there to do the program on. I would really like to do the program on blessings. Do we really sit down and count and name our blessings one by one? I know that after I read a friend's blog I didn't. I believe that sometimes we just take our blessings for granted. Like the air we breath, living here in America., all the small things that are a blessings but we only take them as part of life. Like we are suppose to have this and that.  My questions is, will they actually listen or will they just sit there and think," I wish she would hurry up, I'm hungry".  Yes, there are a few that looks at the get together as just for eating. Not really listening to the person giving the program. How often have we sit through sermons and only thought of hurrying up and getting out. I'm quilty. I have done that before, it's not something that I'm proud of.

Heard from my son yesterday, well, he sent a letter before they left out for the field. He is still homesick. Just remember to keep him and his troop is your prayers. Also pray for my friend Kathy and her family. Her son, Dusty , left the same day my son did. They are in the same force but at different places.

Hey there Laura,
I'm not liking this heat either..and me..I'm about as fair skinned as they come..yikes!
Born and raised in Florida but I can't stand the heat.
Hey..glad you enjoyed the magazine.:0)
An idea for you on the Blessings talk for Thursday..instead of you doing all of the talking..why don't you pass out some pieces of paper to each of the ladies and have them write a list of their blessings..then at the end of the session have each of them read aloud one item from their list.This gets them involved and gets them to talking and sharing...and just might get a bit more comraderie going in the group.
Hope you are having a lovely day.Stay cool.
Hugs to ya, Tina
