Ahhhhh....

We decided that for this weekend it would be best if Mamaw came to stay with Mumsy at Mumsy's little lake cabin.  Mean while the rest of the family will be trying to work out a permanent home for her to live in.  I think that we might get her a little house and set it in our yard next to our house.  Then we will be able to put her in her wheel chair and roll her right next door, to our house, and she can sit and talk or watch us do our work and eat her meals with us.  We are not positive that this will happen but as things look now I think we will end up doing somthing like that.  It is hard to take Mamaw out of the house that she has lived in for 50 years.  It is the house that we all remember having Christmas eve morning breakfast in.  I have spent sooo much time there and it is just sad to have to do this.  But I do believe that this is the best thing for Mamaw.  I think that she will be happy listening to us play music or just hanging out with us.  So as I was saying, since it was just going to be Mumsy taking care of Mamaw this weekend, I decided that I would tag along and see what I could do to help.  So here I am.  And I think, if you have to be somwhere, this is one of the best places one could be.  Here in a snug, air-conditioned cabin on a quaint little lake.  The birds are chirping in the trees and the little waves on the small lake seem to be following the gentle wind as it blows accross the cove.  The family of ducks come swimming by every now and then.  Ahhhhh......  So pleasant.  I feel good just knowing that we can be with Mamaw round-the-clock.  And so far, Mamaw does not seem to mind that she is not in her house.  We just gave her a warm shower because Mumsy has a shower that just works perfectly for an older person.  Then Mumsy rubbed some lotion on her and now she is laying in a recliner with a warm, soft blanket taking a little nap.  Although the shower made her a little tired I think that she really enjoyed it.  Mumsy made me some coffee and I made myself a mocha and decided to work some more on a blog post.  I just love the way God always makes things turn out so nicely.  As He knits the threads of my life together sometimes all I can see are the loose ends but if I will just learn to see things like He sees them.  He sees a wonderful work of art that just needs a few more strokes of paint.  These verses do not nesesaraly have anything to do with what I just said but they were some of the verses that I read in my Bible study this morning and I just wanted to share them with you.

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?                                                    Hebrews 2:1-4
