Today was the annual Skeele Agency picnic for all the office personnel and families. Crochet has become a tradition at this event where Mom and I have clearly established ourselves as fierce competitors aspiring to inspire all those involved to reach their full potential in skill AND diplomacy which is half the game. Due to both our current conditions this year, we loathed having to concede our participation this year. A few witty comments from the peanut gallery watching reminded me that Mom's sharp and dry humor is very much in tact. It was good to see her laugh and enjoy herself at the event.
Mom's abilities and strength are still progressing but not so rapidly as before during rehab. She is able to get around the house with a cane and some assistance at times. Scott did an excellent job at installing railings in key areas of the house to assist Mom. Life has changed a lot with our family, some more than others. Dad is holding up well and has adjusted well, just as his father did in taking care of his mother in the later years of her life.
I Cor. 13:4 clearly defines love not being primarily a feeling or state of mind but a conscience choice of action you make day after day where the strength to perform those actions that are sincere and unconditional come from the author of love and those God has put into your life to represent His love. I'll say it again: Church is like the lockerroom where you get training, motivation and the game plan. The court or field of play is the world and spheres of influence and responsibility He has allowed you to steward for a season. To my grandfather and Dad, I say nice assist.
To the local folk concerning Kim Fuller, I applaud your assist too.
God bless you all. May His hand of protection, provision and love be evident to you and your families always ceasing the opportunity to give Him thanks.
