Holly Ridge Happenings
We better stop disliking people over what we heard and be thankful God isn’t disliking us over what He knows!
God has given us:
Eyes, not to judge others but to look beyond situations;
Mouth, not to criticize but to speak for the truth;
Hands, not to punish but to give a helping hand;
Ears, not to be insensitive but to listen and aid those in pain.
Everything God gave us has it’s purpose. Use them for the greater glory of the Lord.
Did you know our mind is our garden? Our thoughts are the seeds. We can grow flowers or we can grow weeds.
Another great week for me, so many great friends dropped by Tuesday. Barbara Jean Boggs and brother, Johnny Johnson from Farmerville, were here. Dan and Carol Little from West Monroe stopped by to check on me. Ha
Distant relative Jacgrue Burchfield from Bastrop came by. She and Jeff were at Poverty Point Camp Grounds for a week. She had gone back to Bastrop to do laundry so she took a few minutes to chat with me. Friday, Ralph Odam stopped by. We did a lot of “remembering when.” Real interestting. He said he stopped by to check on the window and orphans. Ha! I may fit both.
Saturday, James Ivey Livingston from Haugton stopped for a coke. He was moving a trailer house from Oak Grove to Alexandria. That boy stays busy from all accounts! Also, Tracy and Candace Pruitt and their pretty girls, Pepper and Aubrey, visited with me quiet a while, was so good to see them.
