Hello,
We left Burlington with the sun in our
faces, but it was not hot with the occasional cloud blocking the rays, consequently
I did not worry over much about my plants. I drove and Leroy slept as he had been
working since 5:30. He had done much more lifting than I had. It was a relief
to have finished this task. Now we turned our sights to the west.
We had supper with friends from the
Chariton congregation. It was wonderful talking to people with whom we had a longer
connection, just like slipping into a pair of great well worn slippers offering
comfort and ease.
For the evening, we reconnected with a
dear pastor friend and her husband. As we were very tired, we went to bed early
with the plants watered and sitting on their deck safely away from the lips of
the local hungry deer.
Sunday, we attended church in Chariton
and Corydon before having lunch with a number of these great people. It was
wonderful to chat and catch up with these friends. I often think that I am
tired of moving around, but there is the truth that I would not have the
blessings of these people in our lives if we had stayed in one place for a
longer time. I felt refreshed and relaxed as we traveled on to Missouri Valley
where Leroy had his first pastor job.
Again it was a beautiful afternoon for
driving along to the west with some cloud cover to give us intermittent respite
from the sun.
Every day I declare as my plan that I
trust God for the day. Perhaps like the code of some organizations I just can
manage to take it day by day rather than for the rest of my life.
Paula
