"But
the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his
unfailing love." Psalm 33:18
Driving Miss Daisy (my Aunt) isn't always pleasant. She's stubborn
and selfish, ornery and opinionated, just like Jessica Tandy's
character in the 1989 movie by the same name. Driving her to doctor
appointments and to Wal-Mart for her monthly shopping tries my patience
every time.
I temper my conversation after Morgan Freeman's character by
keeping my mouth shut and agreeing with a "Yes Ma'am" and "Mm mm
hmmm."

Dawn, I recently subscribed to the EC devotions and I must tell you that your devotion today blessed me. This was a jewel of a nugget to read. Keep up the good work. I am 70 years young, I know that I too am filled with wisdom. Wisdom from the years of bangs and bruises, learning life's lessons the hard way. For me, the wisdom that I share is to save someone else from having to experience the same bangs and bruises. I do know that all too often, when I was younger, people with wisdom tried to save me the same thing. Sadly, at the younger ages, we know it all!.
ReplyDeleteLearn from your Aunt as I am sure she has much to teach. BYW, so far I am not with idiosyncrasies, I do hope that day never comes as I try to keep a very open mind. But, who know what life still has in store for me. I am giving it my best to remain open minded and work daily on bridling my tongue.
Have a blessed weekend.
Dear Charlotte,
DeleteI thank you for your great words of encouragement. I must apologize for this very late reply as we are between houses and preparing our next phase of life as caretakers for my MIL. May God continue to bless others through your wisdom. Blessings, Dawn
