Russ drove up today and arrived just about supper time. He had ordered up one of the children's favorite meals. Soup beans (pintos), pickled beets, fried cornbread, and other sides. Tonight they were cooked apples and cooked cabbage. Lynn, Alan, and Valdis joined them for dinner. Both Emily and Gene had lots of soup beans growing up. But Emily never did find them a favorite. Gene, on the other hand, said one time, "this is a meal fit for a King"! All three of their children would agree with Gene on that one, and Emily has been a real trooper to make it a regular part of the diet at their house.
Emily is thinking about yard work at her house. The push mower isn't doing what it should, and the riding mower is not working at all. Perhaps she will consider having a lawn service do her yard and she won't have to worry about whether or not she has gas, whether or not the mower's working or if someone put oil or gas in it - whether or not the fuel mix is right for the weed eater, and on and on. That way she'd have time to focus on her wonderful flowers and whatever garden she wants to have next year. She seems open to that possibility but will want to think it over.
Prayer Request:
Please pray for Emily to have peace and strength.
