I am so blessed to have so many people caring for me. I am overwhelmed by their desire to minister to me.
Five Christian ladies worked to get things done in my home on Monday. One lady is helping me with getting home care. She is June Butler, the wife, of Wayne Butler, my former associate pastor at Tarkenton Memorial Church. She owns her own business. Three other Christian ladies came to my home to work efficiently and tirelessly to put this home in shape. Another lady came for a brief time to bring me a gallon of milk.
Pam Kesling, the wife of my pastor, Terry Kesling, came to organize my bills, letters, etc., and made file folders with printed labels. She bought a nice carrying case to hold it all. For the first time in months you can actually see the kitchen table where we used to eat. Pam is so gifted with doing things like this. I am well pleased.
In addition, Pam made the chicken salad and fed all of us. I believe it was the best I have ever eaten. We all ate together and had a lot of pleasure talking and listening to one another. It is a moment we will all remember.
Bonnie Bender came to take me in my car to eat breakfast at Bojangles. I love their biscuits. Bonnie ordered a country ham biscuit and I ordered a sausage and egg biscuit. Then, we went to the bank to do my banking in the drive through lane.
Bonnie's daughter, Sunshine, worked in Greg's room sorting out his clothes and storing them appropriately. I went to see his room later this evening and was pleasantly surprised to see a neat, well-kept bedroom. Greg will be amazed when he comes home.
Bonnie did many other things like going through things Melvine had left at her death. I did not know they were here. She had a number of gift cards from various restaurants and fast food places. She found a number of Melvine's journals. She wrote every day in them until the last few months of her life. What a treasure they are. I plan to read them.
Joyce Hawkins called and told me she was driving near our home and asked me what I needed. She agreed to purchase a gallon of 2% white (sweet) milk. We enjoyed her visit and we all prayed together before she went on home.
I have had many calls and responded to other needs. My new yard man and his partner came to work in my yard, got up the leaves, cleaned the gutters, and mowed the grass. The yard now looks like Wesley Russ would do it. He is a master yard man who still does his own work.
Wesley will leave this morning to start on his journey from Beltsville, Maryland to come to my home here in Winder, Georgia to spend several days to assist me. His room is ready. It was Stephanie's room. The guest restroom is clean and prepared for my friend.
It may be that Wesley will not make this long drive in a day. He is not as energetic as he has been in other days. He may have to stop and spend the night in a motel. Whatever the case, I long to see my brother in Christ and enjoy his company. You can count on us watching some good Gospel singing.
When I left the Richmond First Pentecostal Holiness Church as their pastor, Melvine and I decided to join his church in College Park, Maryland, named Maranatha Fellowship Pentecostal Holiness Church. I requested that my membership as an ordained minister be transferred to the Mid-Atlantic Conference when Wesley Potter was the conference superintendent and Wesley Russ was the assistant superintendent. Wesley Russ became my pastor for the second time. The first time was in Tucker, GA when he was the pastor of The Church of the Comforter. Wesley invited me to preach in his church several times in College Park, MD. When Wesley Potter retired, Wesley Russ was elected to serve at the conference superintendent.
Wesley Potter was not only the conference superintendent he was also the pastor of Kingsway Christian Center in Baltimore, MD. He invited me to preach in that church several times, and to be the speaker for their Ministers Conference. Wesley Potter allowed me to take his place in going to Romania to preach in a crusade and plant a church in Acna Mures, Romania. In the meantime, Rev. Bulzan invited me to teach on Pastoral Care and Counseling in the Eastern European Bible College in Oradea, Romania.
How blessed I am. God is so good to me. I can't praise Him enough. Thank God for ladies who love Jesus and desire to minister to others.
