we have,
but on what we are”

Helping A Lady
===============
.
Last summer, on an extremely hot day, temps in the 3 digits, my
son, who is 12, and I were sitting in our truck waiting for my
husband to come out of the grocery store.
..
We had been shopping and forgotten to buy milk. As we sat there
with the a/c running, I noticed an elderly woman crossing the
street. She was quite over-weight and laboring to walk and
looked very sad.
..
As she made her way to sit on the bench in front of us, I jumped
out of our truck, with my son asking what I was doing. I told
him to wait just a minute I would be right back.
..
I went to the woman, who wore no shoes but did wear the stains
of the over warm day, and I asked if I could help her.
..
She looked so surprised and kept looking around me, asking me
why I did that?
..
I told her I thought she may need some help and I was worried
about her. She just kept smiling at me and hugging me over and
over again. At least seven or eight times.
..
I then asked her if she was sure, that I could help her with her

“I’ve been shut up, shut down, shot down; ridiculed, disregarded, overlooked, over-booked, and overwhelmed…I know I was made for a reason. I know that, in God’s eyes, I count. So, I simply want to find someone who believes in me.”

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The One Thing He Can’t Do Without
…
–Sharon Jaynes
…
No, these are not the lyrics from the latest country song. They are the lament from one of my survey respondents. It seems Aretha Franklin isn’t the only one who wants a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t these days. One area that rated very high in my survey for men describing the wife of their dreams was respect. Webster defines respect as the special esteem or consideration in which one holds another person or thing, the state or quality of being esteemed, to feel or show consideration to. It’s the one thing a happy husband can’t do without. Read More
