Cast your bread upon the waters
And it will return to you . . .
Heaped up, packed down and still overflowing.
The way I live my life
Is the way people will react to me.
My spirit is felt by those around me.
If I give evil, I receive evil.
If I give good, I receive good.
Maybe not from the same person, or situation,
But life is an echo.
What I am, the song I sing goes out
And bounces off those around me.
And the, in God’s time
Vibrates back to me, like a radar,
Amplified, refined and fulfilling.
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Ecclesiastes 11:1-3

I play piano, write, publish, and struggle with being as good as possible at things I do. My husband has recently went from being a full-time pastor to a full-time hospice chaplain. (Compassionate Care Hospice of Alexandria) Life changed drastically, and I am still in the I can’t believe I really have time for myself stage. I have read everything I can get my hands on and am taking a break from all that has stressed me. God is good and faithful. +
We attend the First United Church of Alexandria and are slowly getting involved with its opportunities for service. Our Sunday School Class is wonderful..
Life has changed again, and we have come full circle, returning to Oklahoma City, Ok where we began our life together. We have a good place to live, family is close, and we are walking new paths physically and spiritually.
Again, God remains faithful and has led us to a church that accepted us and has extended opportunities for us to serve.
My life-long dream is to minister to people I will never meet. And my final goal in life is to be used up. When all is said and done, and I am no longer ‘in charge’ or able to appear in public, I will have given everything I have to give, and be content to let the world come to me.
