As I noted, Boy has a birthday Sunday, and it is Mother's Day as well, so we will have all sorts of stuff going on for those two occasions, as well as spending part of the day Saturday doing the annual Festival on the Cahaba. Oldest has to work part of the day at that, and Reba wanted to go to it. So, we will.
And then, we also have some very sad business to attend to tomorrow morning--a funeral for one of our fellow church members. I've not mentioned anything about this earlier, out of respect for the family's privacy and because I can scarcely even think about it without tears welling up in my eyes. She was a beautiful, sweet, vivacious, and faithful woman of only 28 years, and she leaves behind a husband, a three year old, and set of twins only a few weeks old.
Such an unimaginable, profound, loss.
Our sojourn here is short. On this weekend when we take time to honor our mothers, be sure to tell your mother how much you care for her, and tell everyone else as well.
Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Until Monday, then.
