The Last Paper Towel on the Roll
The one nobody wants. Some say it serves no purpose with all that glue on it. It was the foundation for all the other paper towels on that roll and now it has no purpose.
Now think of a family member. A grandparent perhaps. For some they are like the last paper towel on the roll. We think they have no purpose but yet they have been the glue that held the family together for many years. They were the foundation for who we are. Hold on to those grandparents and make sure they know their importance.
Without the last paper towel of glue, we’ll all be napkins.
Here earlier last week was Janet and Steve Deville from Fort Polk. They have spent the night at their house and visited with their Aunt Louise Cater and, of course, I got to visit with them also before they motored on out to Georgia to spend time with their son and family.
Jeanne Thompson carried her grandchildren, Ahndi, Cooper and Cotton, out to her sister Kelli’s at Canton on Thursday. Friday they went to Dallas to the Great Wolf Lodge for the kids to enjoy the indoor water park. Later, on to Plano to visit Kelsie Cheek at the Grubbs Burger Bar and Grill. They had a fantastic time. Kelsie was glad to see them, too.
Janice and Steve Lofton drove up to Texarkana on Friday late evening to visit Jenna and Josh Bolsters and children. Their grandson, Maxwell, had a ball game on Saturday and they try not to miss one. They came back for Sunday School on Sunday. They are faithful to the family and their church family, also.
Man’s laws cannot make moral what God had declared immoral. Even if a sin is legalized, it’s still a sin in the eyes of God.
Greg, Emily and Ben were here early Saturday morning meeting Markley Huey and Kenny Cagle. They all went to Kingspoint Island by boat to move yet more belongings up stairs. Yes, the mighty Mississippi river is rising again.
Some of Grandma’s sayings: I still believe in Amazing Grace, that there is Power in the Blood, that He walks with Me, that Because He Lives, I Can Face Tomorrow, all because of The Old Rugged Cross.
