Our ladies banquet was held last night. Called “From the Heart”. 150 attended!
The featured speaker was my wife. They (the banquet committee) said I couldn’t attend. Something about an “only women” policy!
So, I snapped a picture the night before. I stayed home and babysat — a one year old and a seven year old — so their mother could attend.
Her life story was very powerful. From heart operations to pacemakers, childrearing, and putting up with me! Death and life situations became quite personal as she talked. Laughter and crying all in an hour’s talk!
I’ve lived 30 years of life with her. I’m always amazed she is still alive. And more amazed, that through all her sufferings, she still puts God first place.
So, need a good speaker?
I wish I was there. I know that it was great. Just watching your lives is a testimony, but to hear the story expressed verbally would have challenged my soul.
May be next time.
Love and prayers
