This one is for Mary Grace Nelson Hommell Cude....I pray that it is for the Glory of God Almighty only. Lord, empty me of my flesh; my sadness, my pride and my selfishness...And may YOU and YOU only be Glorifed.....
This might be a short one, a long one, a start and stop one, a sad one, a funny one, a memory laced one; both happy and sad or silly or calm or chaotic....but what ever comes from YOU to my fingers on this computer...I pray YOU and YOU alone write this and all blogs and parts of my book....
I met Mary Grace ( I am born Southern, raised Southern, short time as a proud Okie and finally transplanted to Lubbock, Texas )...when our sons, Thomas Scott and Russell were just toddlers.. A birthday party brought us together... And there we remain as friend, sister and mutual caregivers for all eternity.
Mary Grace had come home from Jordan, where Roger was station with the USAF; after finding a lump in her breast. So to the states she comes; loaded with all she needed; Her God, her husband Roger and Russell and Zach her sweet sons all nestled in her heart. As usual, Mary Grace was a strong-willed; determined "Miss Much Afraid,,,) from Hinds Feet for High Places...by Hannah Hunyard.. (sp)..at least I called her that...I was a "Little Much Afraid" also... We helped each other begin a journey to the top of Miss Much Afraids' mountain..
Okay, Lord God Almighty...to you be the glory and the power..for you are the Mighty Counselor, the Mighty Physician..
This is the stop and start I mentioned earlier.... Today is Mary Grace's birthday....each year and for many more.... since March, 2002....
So I stop till the tears subside or until I can type no more...leaving; minding God ..and Mary Grace's to rest in the Lord untill he leads me back to write some more..for it was HE and Mary Grace who have walked this journey...He took you into His loving arms in March...1997.. Hope your birthday is filled with all the things you loved and friendship, love and guidance helped me to love once again.....May you dance at HIS feet; feed at HIS table...May HE serve you the cake you loved and may it be on Mary Engelbrieght plates..............
Blessings my sweet friend, my "sister" in Christ...
