PASSING OF SUMMER, and a great occasion in Pinehurst, for our special Gladys has reached a hundred years old, and oh such a wonderful family to celebrate with her. The Mayor was there, before the crowds started to gather, and the many of Gwladys’ family who lived near and far.
I am hoping to make room for the two poems I have been privileged to write very recently. Evelyn was still enjoying independent living, until very recently when she was whisked off to hospital and not allowed home without a care package, but we have only joy for our Evelyn for she has always given the glory to her Saviour, and I am so privileged to have known her, and we all thank God for her faithful son.
And now, though I have 6 years to go before I may be cause for a great celebration, I am now relegated to a wheel chair, but my Father is reminding me of a verse I learned when as youngsters we joined the Topical Memory system, ‘I have not given you the Spirit of fear, but of Power and Love and a Sound Mind.’
I am so thankful for this wonderful assurance. My clever older brother and sister, both sailed through university yet ended with a gentle dementia, yet now I have this wonderful assurance of a sound mind.
EVELYN - 100
When you were young you sometimes ran
But now we go more slowly
Yet now each day’s a precious gift
To God we give the glory.
Patient and gentle Evelyn
To know you is to love you
May God who gives you breath
We make you a blessing
Till he calls you to His home on high
Where together we will praise Him
Glory to Jesus, King of Kings,
Our saviour Lord forever
