FULL OF JOY! REJOICE!!

PHILIPPIANS 4:4

MY FRIEND, LISA, WHO LIVES HERE IN THE OMAHA AREA, 

HAD BEEN DOING SOME NURSING IN THE

TACOMA AREA.  SINCE I WAS RAISED

IN THAT AREA AS A KID,

AND HAVE SISTERS AND FRIENDS AND

NIECES AND NEPHEWS AND

LOTS OF OTHERS OUT THERE,

I TOOK A PLANE OUT SO

I COULD SPEND HER LAST FEW DAYS THERE WITH HER.

I WANTED TO SHOW HER AROUND 

THE PARKS AND THE PUGET SOUND AREA AND MY FAVORITE DINNER PLACE.  AND MY FAVORITE COUSINS,

MY SISTER AND FRIENDS.

WHAT A WONDERFUL TREAT TO SPEND THOSE 

DAYS LAST AUGUST TO SHOW LISA AROUND.

MY SISTER, BETTY, TOOK THE PICTURE.

 LISA GAVE BETTY, AND

MY COUSIN SHARON,

ALL THE STUFF LEFT FROM HER

LIVING PLACE WHEN SHE WAS HEADING 

TO SEA-TAC GET TO OMAHA. 

HUNDREDS OF PIECES OF FOOD AND MANY OTHER PIECES

WERE SPREAD AROUND AND SHARED.  

IT TRULY WAS A BLESSING.

SO, WHEN THERE, WE WERE FILLED WITH

THE JOY OF THE LORD

AND WE WERE REJOICING,

TOGETHER OR SEPARATELY.

SHE'S BEEN A TREAT TO ME HERE IN OMAHA

AND THEN A TREAT IN TACOMA.

I STAYED ANOTHER 3 DAYS AFTER LISA LEFT

WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS BEFORE HEADING HOME.

MISS IT ALL SO VERY MUCH!!

AND SUDDENLY I GAINED A "GRANDSON".

WE'VE BEEN TALKING OCCASIONALLY.

WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN WHEN I'M OUT THERE

AND I WANT HIM TO MEET MY HUSBAND, 

HIS "GRANDPA".
