This Sunday,
St. Philip & I took a mind clearing drive out Brenham
Way.
The fog and dismal drizzle of this
year’s March have been compounded by a bit of a rainy season in our lives.
So when a little birdy shared a post about the
& the weather began to clear, we decided to hit the road!
The flea was very small and booth displays
were a tad underwhelming, but not a total loss…
A sweet elderly vendor was
clearing the remnants of a shop he and his wife had owned for years in
Smithville, trying to regain some space in his garage.
Of course my saint immediately felt a kinship!
He only had a few things on his table but we
felt an obligation to help him out. And
these two jewels were just what I had hoped to find!
After that
Coffee & pie for lunch,
an impromptu stop to visit the
grandbugs,
and a slow drive home under clear skies & Venus was
“car ride clarity”.
The rainy season mentioned; well I’ll just say the last couple
of months have been a bit trying around the Shaw abode, to say the very
least. It is that time in our lives when
our parents’ health becomes a focusing journey and constant reminder of the extraordinary
gift they have been to our lives thus far!
Our fathers are two remarkably strong men, but both in the midst of fighting overwhelming medical battles!
As we walk alongside, support and love them through this
time, we pray for God’s strength, provision, guidance and grace! Your prayers would be graciously welcomed!
Enjoy the sunshine, take a drive, hug someone close!
Counting my Father and Father-in-law blessings, B
