I am sure we all feel gratitude to our military for the protection they provide for us and the many sacrifices they make while leaving home and family to go to a foreign land and put their own lives on the line. Some never to return. World War II remains very upper-most in my life and mind. It is the war during which my dear husband spent 3 years on a battle ship in the South Pacific. I did not know him then and never saw him in his uniform. I met him a few weeks after his discharge. Even though I was only 13 years old on December 7th, 1941, I remember so well how difficult our lives were on the home front during those years. Many things were rationed and we did not always have everything we needed. More about those days at a later time.
Today we will have a luncheon at our church and a special speaker. Veterans will be recognized and are asked to bring pictures and artifacts relating to their military lives for display.
My daughter is counting the days and the hours until she will be terminating her work at the Wee Hope Day Care. She has worked there for more than a year and is looking forward to not having to leave home each day while it is still dark. The work is very hard and she needs something less stressful and much easier physically. Her last scheduled day will be next week, however, she has agreed to fill in occasionally. She has faith that God will provide. He never fails!!!
I am not sure why I was so anxious to be able to read the posting times. It is comforting to be able to understand when a post was made but guess it doesn't really matter when there are NO postings!!!! Perhaps some day!!!! I still appreciate what Kim did to change the reading.
Better get my day underway.
Love to all,
Dortha
