I am computer illiterate to the greatest degree. You may disagree and argue that your great grandmother may be less suave on the computer than me but I beg to differ. I have met a few computer savvy elderly people and they dispel the myth of their computer inabilities. Your grandma knows what she is doing ... as a matter of fact she is probably electronically embezzling money from the world bank as we speak (excuse me, type).
The elderly will be my topic of discussion today. This afternoon we had Friendship Break at the church. Friendship Break is basically a chance for me to brush up on my Dominoes skills, sing some old hymns and lead a devotion with some wonderful elderly people in my church.
Today one of the hymns that was requested was 'Great is Thy Faithfulness' - and as the opening chords began a gradmotherly lady turned to me with a glowing smile and told me she sang this every single morning because God is so good.
I was stunned, I just kind of stared at her with my jaw hanging open because I happen to know that in her life has not been easy. She has been widowed three times, lost children and is in chronic pain due to arthritis . If I were her I don't think I could say that I sing 'Great is Thy Faithfulness' to God every morning. I think I would sing 'Why doth Thou Dispiseth Me' instead.
As a matter of fact, if I am honest, this past month I have been a spiritual state of whining because... well, because I am small in my faith. And this dear woman is so much more mature than I.
But she is right, I need to sing 'Great is Thy Faithfulness' to God every morning because I have never experienced anything other than His goodness.
That and your grandmother hasn't embezzled any money out of my bank account!

I like you Erica.
You are so funny and beautiful my dear love! How how I love thee! Hope your day is marvelously full of recognizing God in the midst of wherever you are. It's fun to realize He's there sometimes, even when you (I) feel He is not.
I like you too, Erica!
Especially when you smoke cigars on the train bridge...i mean, when you sing hymns on the train bridge.
