Yes, it’s that time of year again! The changing of the seasons is barely noticeable here in Texas. Things look browner in winter and greener in spring, but that’s about it. The weather is slowly getting warmer, and in winter it will slowly get cooler. With every changing season, I suppose I long for home! Not just the natural beauty of the natural state, but home. You know, seeing the smiling face of my Mom and enjoying the flood of happy memories that wrap their arms around me as I cross that threshold on 2811 Karen Street in Benton. My childhood greets me as I walk through the garage and remember coasting in on my bike and hopping off for a cold drink. And it just gets better as I enter the kitchen, the den, and of course, my room! It’s as though I never grew up. (Okay, no comments please about my not having grown up in reality!)
Terry also longs for good ol’ Arkansas. He loves fishing in the Saline River. He has decided this would be a good time of year to visit the River once again. We are all heading out on Saturday, April 19th, for home sweet home.
I can feel Arkansas, or home, calling my name. The Lord is graciously allowing me to answer!
Please pray for us as we travel. We’ve had another smaller bout with a stomach virus. I am praying we’ll all be 100% for the trip on Saturday. We’ll be coming home on Friday, April 25th. I’ll be posting that day for sure. A very special guy has a birthday that day!! I’ll give you a hint, he’s the one who’s wanting to go fishing in Arkansas. Yep, Terry will be the big 3-0 on Friday the 25th.
Thanks for your prayers and friendship.
See you tomorrow!!
