Today, I received several blessings. I went to the hospital to visit two of our church members that are in there. They both were very happy to see me come in. I thought as it was a Sunday afternoon, people usually visit patients. However with it being Memorial Day weekend, one had only one visitor all weekend plus myself. The other one had not received any visitors except me. So they both were glad to have someone to talk to about church and all.

Went to my church service this morning and then went to a friend of mines service this afternoon for an hour before visiting at the hospital. I enjoyed her service very much. When I got home, I found 4 phone calls from friends. Two were from old friends that I had not spoken to in over 2 years. When I returned the phone calls, each one was a blessing. Getting to catch up on old time, how much our children had grown, how many grandchildren they had. They were surprised that my daughters were not married nor had I any grandchildren yet. I learned about the tragic death of one of my old friend’s husband. Memories flashed through my mind as we talked about the good old days when our children were young, having backyard BBQ and going out for a girl’s night out. I am so glad they called me today and we reconnected.

Tomorrow I will get to spend time with family member having a backyard BBQ with lots of goodies. It is so easy to overeat and eat too much carbohydrates. I made potato salad for the celebration. Each family member is bringing a dish to contribute. We are celebrating Memorial Day to honor and remember our Veterans who are fighting and fought for our freedom.
