Days 211 and 212

Day 211:
When a friend's dad dies, you go to the visitation if you can't make the funeral. And you hug her, offering: your support, your love, your strong arms. You feel sick because you realize that you could be the one mourning the loss...after all, your dad lost his dad when he was your age. And that thought sickens you. So you pray for your friend--for healing. And you pray for your dad--for health.

Day 212:
Today, I was Mom's chauffeur again. I took her to the doctor's appointment she forgot she scheduled a year ago. I take her to Walmart to get some fresh produce and bottled water.

I was able to go get my scholarship check today. And for an hour I listened to Mr. Stueven talk about various things: his druggy daughter (that I can see still pains him), his late wife (that I can see he still mourns), the drama in running a foundation (that I am thankful he endures), health problems of a friend (that I don't mind the details of because I know it's a big part of his life now), and his issues with relying on computers (that I can understand).

Bible study tonight, which was good and encouraging. Praise God for fellow believers.

God Bless!
