HITCH-HIKEING

SATURDAY! Good morning to all! I hope all have woke up with good feeling of the mind, and the feeling of how good it is to wake up with the Lord,,, You did , didn't you? Have a great day, and may the Lord bless you real good!!!! Prayer Requests: Yolanda's mother, who had a bone marrow transplant ,, and now has turned bad, and is back in the hospital, and Yolanda has asked for us all to pray for her mother! For Hilda,, who needs a peace of mind of loosing her Grandson as she is having a real problem of accepting the lost! Please pray that God will intercede , and put acceptance in her mind. From Susan Carter: About two weeks ago my son (Edward) had major surgery. A mass was removed from his colon. We have been waiting for weeks to receive the pathology and biopsy reports. The results came in on Wednesday. He has stage three cancer and will have to undergo chemo. We need your prayers. I have so much faith in God and I know the power of prayer. PLEASE! PLEASE! put his name on your prayer list at church for God's healing. We really do need your prayers and your support. THANK YOU! AS I WALKED, and HITCHED A RIDE! We all walk down a street,, or a road,, and we do not thank that much about the advancement of that road and the things that run up and down it.. I will give you a quick example of my long treks of walking in my youth, and how it "used" to be in country Alabama. On a Sunday morning,, at the age of 6, my mother would pick me or my brother, Sam, to go to Vinemont and get the Sunday Paper, and the mail , if any.. the post office opened from 6 to 8 on Sunday morning and if you wanted your mail,, come and get it! With only a radio,, the paper was out standing on news and the "funny paper" (the comics) were even greater. for my mom would read them to us.. and we would laugh at some and heed the mystery of others... back to the roads.. I would ride that bike down that dirt road, and for that 3 1/2 miles,, I might see one, no more than 2 cars on it.. it might be just scraped and be smooth ,, or it may have ruts as deep as 10 to 12 inches,, and a car could still clear them and go down the road at a fast rate of 15 to 20 miles an hour, and if you were walking, you could hitch a ride on the running board,, if there were more than two of you, they might let you ride on the front fender , with your legs around the headlight.. Now, they are so low to the ground , look out for a bump in the road,, no running boards, and the lights are sunk into the fender.. wow, they took the good times of a ride, on a summer day , right out of the makings... and you know, I have hung onto a mirror on a running board in the winter,, almost frozen to the bone, but making those 3 1/2 miles quicker to the house and that "Warm-warmer Heater" burning hot with that coal.. no furnace bowling hot air, but from that heater, we had heat, even some in the bedrooms. ha.. I remember, and I can hold these things of old in my heart, but I do not want those "country conveniences" again.. but I do want the reverence, the belief, the support,, the testimonies, the life , of God, and with God,, and all started with God, from the morning blessing to God for our meal and all we had,, , to the start of school with the pledge of allegiance,, prayer to our God, the noon meal, the Supper meal with a blessing to God, , and the bedtime -time.. yes all was started with God, and we all carried Him with us everywhere we went, and WE DID NOT HIDE IT.. how about today? Well enough today, maybe too much.. for some,, but come join me as I still carry that old time , yes , that old, old time of religion,, as I WALK DOWN THE ROAD,, AND HITCH A RIDE WITH MY GOD! God, thank You for the memories, and the work of a great Mother and Father , who taught me who to walk with, and who to grab a "hitch " with.. and the strength to still walk and ride with,,,, You.amen John HIcks I reminisce alot, why? For not only the memories, but for the guidance that my folks taught me,, the right and the wrong, and that there is but one God, and that He lives today, and forever.. How's your memories?, are you reminiscing?, or living them?,, or both? Both. I pray! Have a great Saturday! SATURDAY! Good morning to all!
