Rambling on

Sometimes I think there's a little invisible person, taking things and hiding them. I have kept my birth certificate in the same place for years. So why was it, when I was looking for it yesterday, gone. Gone to where ever lost things go. Willard and I looked in every draw, in every box, vase, book, shelf, and closet in the house. And no, not in my pocket book either. You guessed it no birthday certificate! It just so happened that I still had the one from when I was fifteen. Maybe they'll except that one. If not, Willard will have to stop by the vital records place in Lillington, on his way home.

Oh!, you want to know why I need it. Willard put in for retirement yesterday. I am so glad for him. He's looking so forward to it. Not having to get up at four o:clock in the morning, not having to make that long drive to Holly Springs. And I think most of all!, not having to worry whether he's got a job from day to day.

He told me yesterday that he felt sorry for the men that he works with. They are worrying from day to day about their jobs. especially the ones that have families. It's hard on them not knowing what the future may hold. We'll keep them in our prayers of course. Willard said one of the men even said to him, as Willard was telling him how good it would be, not have to worry about it any more. That they would be left behind. You gotta feel sorry for them. Because it's true. Even though Willard is retiring and he will be free of it, there are still others having to face the situations of the job daily. Not knowing what another day may bring. It's really a bad situation. I sincerely hope for their sakes that the economy picks up and they can start working steady.

You know, No matter what situation one may be in. God knows where they are. God sees every worry, every heartbreak. God sees every tear one cries. God even writes those tears and the reason for them in a book.

Psalms 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

You see, God cares about you. He knows every step you take. And when you are so out of strength that you feel you just can't go on. God is right there, holding you up. Strengthening you with His Holy Spirit. Never, and I mean never think that God doesn't care, because He does, and more than you can ever imagine.

Until next time God bless.
