Wonder Woman has had a wonderful week for anyone wondering. Monday evening, I prepared dinner for a lovely couple, David and Leslie Betz. We share grandchildren, so they are more like family to me than friends. Such beautiful souls they are, and it was a wonderful time of good food (my delectable pork chops) and wonderfully warm fellowship.
On Tuesday, I headed to Vidor, my old stomping grounds, to visit a friend who has been part of my life since we were both teens. Her and her family were the first people we met when my father accepted the pastorate in Beaumont, TX. Our visit was everything it always is: rich conversation, plenty of laughter, maybe a tear or two, and a delicious lunch at Beaumont’s Riverside Grille. Dear Cheryl, thank you again for lunch and for simply being you. You are a wise, godly, and gracious woman, and as I told you before I left, I always leave wanting to be a better person. Your husband, children, grandchildren, and all of your extended family are so blessed to have you in their lives.
This week also brought two wonderfully successful shopping days for my little part time hobby—always a thrill—and today, an equally successful day of consigning, which brings its own kind of joy.
In between all of the above, I sat with my dear mother for several hours this week. She keeps me on my toes with questions to which I don’t always have the answers. Thankfully, Google always does. Your continued prayers for her and her primary caregivers are appreciated.
And what about you? I trust your week has been wonderful, too. If not, I trust you leaned into grace and found strength to press onward. Life can be hard and unfair, but God is always good. Until we meet again, dear friend, please be kind, be merciful, and don’t let things you can’t control be the things that control you.
