Sunday Sabbath February 5 2017  A DAY OF REST

A day of rest, doing something you enjoy doing rather than doing what must be done (like work).  And so it was today.

I accompanied Nora to church this morning.  Both her sisters also attend the same church,  After service we all enjoyed meal together and then I said farewell to LaFawn.  Janet, Nora, and I decided to check out a different resale shop and had a prosperous time shopping!  Again, a very successful and fruitful day.  Later we visited Janet’s son and his wife at their apartment.

Nora and I were off again, leaving Janet to watch the Super Bowl with her son and daughter-in-law.  So where did we go?  You probably guessed it.  However, this resale shop was a vintage shop.  Very unique, personable, with lots of treasures to find.  Nora found the treasure this time.

It was such a treat to spend two whole days with my cousin.  I originally hadn’t planned to stay today, but Nora assured me that if we weren’t at home to bother the Super Bowl husband I could stay and visit.  We tried to stay away but arrived back at Nora’s home before the game was over.  I still don’t know if the game is over and it’s 9:42 p.m. at present.  I’m in an upstairs bedroom, safe and sound and out of the earshot of T.V. language.  I tried very diligently to make as little noise as possible and not become a nuisance.  As I left to go upstairs He said I had done a good job.  I told him I felt like I was a little kid again going into the principal’s office awaiting my verdict.  Whew!  I passed the test.  For those of you who know me, you probably have an inkling of just how difficult that quiet time was for me.  But it was worth it!  I had an opportunity to spend time with cousins I had not seen for two years.

SWEET REFRAIN OF YESTERYEAR

Sweet refrain of yesteryear

In quiet reverie,

Taking joy in each moment

As the hours quickly flee.

So joyous I am

For an opportunity of such,

To relive days gone by

As memories we gently clutch.

Thank You God for the new memories we have made.

Thank You for this precious interlude to visit with my Cousins.

Lord, I thank You in advance for my safe travels home.

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU.
