When we were kids, and teenagers a real treat to us was eating a sliced banana in a bowl of milk. Mmm. I'm not sure what we really saw in it. Looking back I wonder if grocery shopping was difficult for my mom. She was blind, and she never complained about it, nor talked about things as being difficult. We simply took the city bus, and helped where we could. I remember vaccuming the floor and when we were still too young to vacuum she would have us pick up the bigger things on the floor before she would vacuum. My mom kept our house very clean and looking back, how blessed I am for that. It has taught me, not necessarily how to clean, but how important my role is in the family. Looking back on the last 8 months, I have been limited in what I can do. At times I have heard God saying "Be still and KNOW that I am God". He has taken care of my family, not just fiancially, but physically. My kids have learned the importance of their roles in the family, God has shown me what an amazing man, husband, and father Bill is. (I love you Carol Stone for the man you raised!)
So now for the first time in months, I can look to tomorrow and the spring and summer. I can look forward to my laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, working out and a real treat... love you, love me, love you, love me.
