This little lady is at church every day- she never misses.

Ummm, You ask... "Did she say every day?"

Yep! We have church every day except Monday- when someone finds an excuse to meet or have some kind of practice anyway!! Sunday is Sunday School, Service, Youth & Young Adult meetings, then Service again. Tues- Bible study; Wed.-Service; Thurs- Bible study; Fri- Service at mountain mission church & childrens choir; Sat- choir practices & musicians.
Anyway, I digress. This lady- I can't pronounce her name, is always there. When asked "how are you?" She starts at her head, then moves to her neck & shoulders, and all the way down to her toes- naming the places she hurts & is sick. ( I can't help singing the song "Head & shoulders, Knees & toes, in my head! tee-hee.) I'm sure she really does hurt all of those places. She moves with difficulty and purpose. It has to make you achy even at a younger age when life is so demanding and difficult.
Yesterday was Lori's birthday. Lori told Madame about her birthday and asked her how old she was. (This lady is faithful and always at church- but not all things still connect with her.) She told us- 29- October! She might mean her birthday is 10/29... but really seemed to mean that she will be 29 in Oct!!! Lori was a little bummed since she has passed that marker!
Happy Birthday, anyway, Lori! And Happy Birthday to you too sweet one, whenever it is!
