Oh, What A Spectacle!

Been Sick and what not

Not only have I been sick. These are two of the five cute faces who were sick as well. Not cool.

I missed a lot of things being sick, but it looks like it was a good thing. I would have been upset, hurt and miserable anyhow. Looking forward to this weekend, we have the Autism Rocks Festival and going to spend fathers day with my friend Angie and her family. It will be cool to see her and her boys. Jimmy and her hubby get a long which is  weird. He is not usually friends with males. He really does need a good female friend. He thinks most men are macho and showy. He cracks me up....oh wait my best friend is male and thinks the same thing. There must be a reason they are in my life.

I really wish my ear was not plugged up still. I feel like I have a nasty ear. Kind of gross but, the high cost of having allergies and remaining off of medications for them. Once my balance is back I need to start going to roller derby and see if I can balance myself.

For now that would be all.

Street People need Love

The corner I live on is busy. I am literally on the main street in town and on it's busiest corner for foot traffic. Daily I see many street people. Some are homeless, some are addicts and some suffer from various mental conditions. In my "old" age I have become more soft to these types of people. In reality I have always been soft to the downtrodden and the lonely. When I was 19 I worked at an Indian Casino and made some good money for a single lady just out of the Marines. It was a good experience and time for me. A friend of mine and I used to take hamburgers to people with "Will work for food." signs. Once I put a guy up into a hotel.  19 seems so long ago.

Now  I am married with five kids, and no monetary income of my own. But, in some ways I find a way to help. For a couple years we gave needy families money to finance their Christmases, gave food to families and individuals. We have also offered prayer and other things. Their are many skeptical people around and think everyone wants a handout. This is so not true.

One way I plan to give this year is through my garden. I was able last year to hand out various vegatables from my small garden. This year we have expanded it and I am hoping to do more. I know it seems silly that a couple ears of corn and some squash can change someones life, but you never know. I am also going to smile more at people. Everyone needs love, even if they don't think they do.

What will you do reach out?

"All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do." Galatians 2:10
