Reflection for Sunday.

Yesterday we celebrated the 90th birthday of a true hero.
Mae Ingram, for all of my memory, has been an example of true love, compassion, service, and fun.

A minister in her own right, she served as mother, pastors wife, Sunday school teacher, Womens
Ministry leader, and general best aunt in the world!

She and my Uncle Ray, were the first pastors I had, and they set a high standard!
I remember in that little Pentecostal Holiness Church, in Hinton OK, how at prayer time, I would get as close to her as I could, because I loved to hear her pray!
Oh how that woman can pray!

Her daughter was not only my cousin, but one of my first friends.
Even after they moved away, she would come visit and MAKE me get out of my room, and get out and about, and see people.
(I had a tendency to be a loner back then too.)

My cousin and HER daughters did a very good job of putting the party together, and actually surprised Aunt Mae!
It was great to see her look around and greet everyone who came to celebrate her!

It was a blessing to see, and a wonderful day!
Her family did rise up and honor her!

#2 Daughter, and My Horrible Genes!

Well shoot!
Those of you who know me, know I have a few dietary issues.
On top of having to be gluten free, msg free, and having a tendency toward gout, which means very little red meat for me, I've recently figured out that nightshades cause my arthritis flare ups.
Quite frankly, I have been feeling sorry for myself. Like that does any good.
I mean, I can't eat my favorite Mexican foods any more!

I have it good!

Got a call from my daughter a few days ago.
She had just left the neurologist, and guess what?
She is not only gluten, and msg sensitive, she has a whole list of foods to avoid!

No caffeine!
Chocolate!
Aged cheese!


I hate this for her!

Waiting to find

out what the death toll is here in Oklahoma after todays tornados.

So many lost everything too.



All I can do right now is grieve and pray.

Enraptured by their baby sister

My two oldest grands, with the newest grand.
I love the way they look at their baby sister.
