courage

What happened yesterday in Golden Meadow was

one of my AHA moments.

To see so many old friends, neighbors gathered

for a family friend who really has not lived on the

bayou for some time was amazing.

So many times, Karen's husband Kim came to

thank us and I just kept thinking,

"It is us who should thank you guys"

To be given an outlet to be able to show our best,

to do God's work and know that while you are there

something magical is happening.

I was so proud of our old neighborhood of Dursette Lane.

Aside from just one or two neighbors who lived in

that street many years ago,

each family had some to represent their family.

It may have been to help or to gather for the meal,

make donations, but many families were represented.

I can't mention everyone because I would be

so worried to leave someone out and offend

but it was a magical day, a wonderful day.

A day I was able to put aside myself and

know that I, as well as many, had done a wonderful

thing for one family.

God said it best when he said:

"WHATS SO EVER YOU DO FOR THE LEAST OF

YOUR BROTHERS THAT YOU DO UNTO ME"

Pray for Karen and her family

because her name should have courage somewhere in there.
