A good time

 


Pic of the day;

 


 For today…

We had a great time, I was nervous, but I did finally hit my stride and enjoyed the time.  No video, sorry.  We old folk don’t exactly know how to do that stuff. LOL

I started my session with how I think we men have pushed too much of our responsibilities about home and church on the ladies.  Our SS teachers are mostly women. As a matter of fact the seniors activities are directed by women.  I was asked to speak here today, by a sweet lady.  If money is to be raised, the women do it.  Most churches are paid for by the efforts of the ladies.  Most, if not all, are NEVER paid.

I wove that into our homes and what the Mothers mean to a home. I said, “I had a great daddy, but I know that my mama raised me.”

I ended with the poem by Foss The House by the side of the Road and the one “It takes a heap O Living In a House to make a Home” by Edgar Guest.

Picture for today is above.

Everyone seemed to have a good time.  Thanks for stopping by.

Well done and many congratulations. I wish I was there to hear you; (and share a beer afterwards).

God bless.

Congratulations, Jack (and Sherry)! You make a good point about gender roles; even our Pastor and a few others I know are women.
I join Victor in wishing I was there!

So glad everything went well! I think you've done that enough times that now you are a pro at it! Good for you giving all of us women those kind thoughts!

I was talking with my daughters after we went to lunch two weeks ago...I said I do not know who ever said women were the weaker sex, but it sure is not this group right here. I am proud of how strong and brave my girls have been. (Thank you mommy, for making me strong) Oh my daughter Liz said it was some man who made that quote up about women. Sorry boys, she may be right. Lost my SIL this past Sunday. Brother married her 63 years ago. She did raise their 3 daughters, while he was always in service , when she could not follow. Did a fine job also. Thanks for giving us women credit for most of the child rearing. Blessings, hug your sweetie, xoxo, Susie

You are looking good!! Yes, the world would very quickly fall apart without women, no doubt about it.

Bro. Jack, I am so thankful for men and women of God like you and your wife who, everywhere you go, bring light and love. I thank the Lord that even when you could sit back and let the young folks do it all...you still are fruitful in the Kingdom, blessing the folks with the talent God has given you. Here's a verse for you....

This is the Lord speaking in Isaiah 46:4...And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar (gray) hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
