Hi Harrison family- I just wrote you a book and lost it somewhere in this machine when the battery got low. Anyway, I am going to try again and see if the electricity goes off. I think I need a new tutorial to run work on this "new site", I have never got the hangof it. Thats not going to keep me OFF Admin., just-in-case your hoping- I will figure it all out one of these times when I am least expecting it. I was so glad to hear that Stacy is stable and you all are doing well. You didn't tell me what Cain's girl friend's name is, you know I want to know that! Bethany must be quite the young lady now, you better behave or she will fix you. Don't you be watching so tornado movies when she is not there. I am so glad you seem to be your old self. About all the health problems Stacy , Randall and I have had to deal with. I always go back to the promise God doesn't put more on us than we can bear without giving us a way of escape.
We are not alone and I know we have the best church family in the world to help get us through the hard time. I just hope that in someway I can give back to them what they have given to me. I do believe God lets things happen to us to help us grow up in the faith. We or I sometimes get complacent about the things I need to do in my walk with my Saviour. I run hot and cold. When I thought I might lose my soul mate I was scared. There is no other place to go but to the Lord, and as you sang so beautifully, "He will make a Road" and so He did. I just praise him and worship him every minute of my life for the strength he gave us to get through this trial." I thank him for the people he put in our path during this time, there was always someone there with encouraging words, shoulders to cry on and prayers to say. Strangers who would come up to you in he hospital corridors and put their arms around you and just give you a hug. Ministers who would stop in to pray with you that you didn't know and those you did." Well enuf said about that.
I see Kurt enlightened U about my last little bout. When we have stormy weather "Arthur always comes in out of the rain. I could not walk for a couple of days without crutches but my "bad" grandaughter Karla came to the rescue. She came and stayed with me, did all the work and took care of all of us. One of the euphanisims-there is a little bit of good in the worst of us-applies to her. She did sstep up to the plate and without expecting anything in return. I just feel like God is working in her life and I am praying that something good will come of this. If not now, maybe later!
Elijah and Austin are playing baseball together, on opposite teams, but they only play each other. They are having fun and we are all having extra time to spend together also. We pull for both teams and enjoy watching our boys have fun.. They are a hoot, as Kurt would say. Elijah is 9 now, he has also expressed a desire to have Jesus in his heart. I am not pushing him, but hope he will continue to grow in that direction. It is hard, because he doesn't usually stay here on the weekends, therefore, doesn't go to church with me, but we have some very interesting night time discussions. He will talk about anything to keep from turning out the light and going to sleep!
Mary is doing well and continues to be Ms. Piggly Wiggly. She just came back from a cruise to Nassau, I think, with some of her family. They enjoyed it, but she is always glad to get back home. She is going with Elijah to Charleston the 22nd of May on a field trip. I know they will be have fun. He will be out of school the 29th of May. Don't know what I am going to do with him this Summer, but I am sure we will find something.
Hope everything continues to go well with you and family. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Kay is taking me to our favorite restaurant tomorrow for Mother's day. (The Olive Garden) I am looking forward to that. She has been worried about her job, but she is okay, found out yesterday she wasn't one who would be let go. Praise the Lord for that! Give everyone a great big hug. Till next time.
