Thank God

  Early last week, Rusty had an oncologist visit to review a recent Chest CT. These are done periodically to check his lungs since that’s the first place sarcoma likes to go. Everything still looked good. It seems the amputation has done its job at removing the cancer before it had time to spread.  On Friday, he finally had the surgeon’s visit he’s been waiting on for months. He was released to start the prosthetic process. It’s been a long road to get him where he is right now. It will still be a while before his new leg is complete, he’s able to walk on his own, and then eventually go back to work, but we’re finally headed in the right direction.  Thank you to everyone that has visited, called, texted, given us money, and most of all…prayed. We thank you all and we Thank God. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 I THANK GOD - HOUSEFIRES Click here to receive an e...

Heading Home

Usually, I’m excited when I see these bridges because it means I’m crossing over into Mississippi and getting closer to home for a visit. This time, the feeling was different. Rusty and I were headed home for a memorial service for his dad, R.G.   We hadn’t been inside the country church where the service was held in a very long time. It hadn’t changed much through the years and it brought back memories for me of attending revival services, wedding and baby showers, and birthday celebrations there. It was nice to see friends and family that came to pay their respects, but would have been better under different circumstances.  As time goes by and we lose more loved ones, we’re reminded of just how short life is here on this earth.  Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.  Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. You  have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.  My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;  at b...

Letting Go

We sold our camper last weekend. The funny thing is, I wasn’t even sure it was still for sale. A  couple of months ago, we decided to list it. We hadn’t used it since Rusty’s surgeries, we weren’t sure when we would be able to again, and at this point we needed the money more than the camper. We had a few inquiries, but nothing panned out. I  had just told Rusty that since it was now prime camping season, I should probably renew the listing, but I hadn’t gotten to it yet. To be honest, it wasn’t at the top of my list. I knew it would be best to sell it, but I also hated to see it go.  I was surprised last Saturday when I  received a message from someone wanting to come look at the camper because I didn’t realize you could still see the listing.  We made arrangements for them to come out and they loved it just as much as we did. It perfectly fit the needs of the retired Christian couple and they were happy to pay what we wanted for it. As much as I hated to let i...
