Wilma had been praying for several years that God would help the elderly that were confined to their houses due to physical limitations or other health issues. She would say, "Lord, please comfort the shut-ins." Sometime last year God had been coming through on her prayer and i was part of that answer, well for a few of my grandmas so far. i didn't see it coming, i was just looking for more lawn jobs and several elderly women needed help at a reasonable price. The Lord told me, "Don't worry about the money.", and that has been my approach to work all year. He didn't tell me that i would get cookies and coffee, or iced mocha's and good conversation.
i was blessed with three grandmas who i just hang out with each week, whether it be for a breakfast biscuit and coffee before yard work, or watching church on Sunday's before i make an omelet for us. There have been more blessings in the relationships i have with these women than money could ever fulfill. Today Burma and i watched service and then i surprised her with a tomato, garlic and pasta frittata with fresh herbs.
Burma is a blessing for certain, as are Ava, and Peggy. i pick up with Wilma's prayer and pray that other elders out there are cared for by someone, family, or in my case, just an adopted grandson. Blessings to the elders as there is the wisdom of our past and lessons worth listening to. Better company than an old book because you get to relive their history and learn their wisdom.
Love and Blessings in Jesus,
