Visiting us Monday afternoon thru Wednesday was our friend, Susan Bell from Caledonia. She brought some delicious food she had cooked. She also brought food that her son, Jordan, cooked. Thank you Susan and Jordan.
We were without electricity all Thursday night and part of Friday morning. Thank goodness for our generator. I have to have my oxygen. I think our little storm we had Thursday afternoon may have caused it. Some were still without power Friday.
He’s exceptional says Jean Durham about their new grandson. It was Mark’s daughter who gave birth to a big boy who weighed 11 pounds, 14 ounces!
My daughter, Donna, came up and visited with Susan Bell while she was here.
Lila Myric went to her heart doctor Tuesday and her heart rate was a low 47. They want it to be 60 or more. They took her off one of her meds because the doctor thinks it was the reason it is too low. Every thing else was good.
She will go back in three months so they can check it again. Lila also has to keep track of her blood pressure until she goes back.
Praying for you, Lila.
Martha Box said her sweet son, Ben Box, had to go to Spains Grocery Store to rescue his momma one morning. She rang up $130 groceries and discovered all her money and cards were at home!
Martha said that if she shared everything that happened to her last Monday, folks would think she was experiencing Friday the 13th all day long. She even had to break three dates, dadgumm it even was a boyfriend date.
Oh, no, Martha!
Martha also said she had been busy, but didn’t get anything completed last week. They brought Jesse’s wife, Jodi Wortham, home the from hospital.
She sent her brother, Ronnie Wortham, back to Texas last Thursday morning .
Martha said it was so hot when she got back home that she sang out, ““Send Down the RAIN LORD.” “And HE DID!”
It felt so good, praises on the porch with the miracle of rain coming down.
Your writer says, “ God is good all the time, Martha!”
