Glad to hear your dad is recovering. Smiling at his attitude; not a bad one to have. 🙂 If I ever make it to 86 (I can’t imagine!), I wonder how old I’ll feel.

My Dad is finally recovering slowly, he thinks he is still 25, but he’s 86.

Thank you for that precious word! I love how often the Psalms makes mention of how God takes care of the poor, and how we should do likewise. I’m grateful for the opportunities he shows me; I know I’ve been blind for a long time to many of them.

A re-inclusion…good point, Kelly. Sometimes we can make it harder on people to come back in, when they are ready. Everyone needs a good welcome.

Hope your dad is recovering from his fall. There’s always a difference to me between being alone and being lonely. I know lots of people who are surrounded by people, yet still feel lonely. And the reverse. Living outside of society would definitely be a strange sensation…

Thanks, Katie. I need to remind myself daily to pay closer attention to others; it’s what matters.

Isn’t it amazing how God will show up in the most “average” of days and places like the grocery store or in the ladies room? Thanks for sharing this, Betsy. I know you are a blessing to all who encounter Christ in you.

“not to consider them chance” – Yes, Lisha, that’s my prayer, too. I want my eyes to be open enough to recognize God when I see him. He’s always at work. Thankful for your friendship!
