Hi Richard, yes that old gospel music sure fills the soul. I recently went to a gospel sing, and the band played a guitar that was really good. I sang in the choir also, and love to sing and I still love to sing. yes, wonderful memories. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/19/2014 12:03:08 A.M.

I went to a lot ove Revival Meetings and sang tenor in the chior just so I could sing, sing,sing. What wonderful memories to calm the soul. Richard H.

My grandmother was a Primitive Baptist and she was very faithful to her church. They are called the hard shell Baptist as they are very strict with their faith. I love going to the meetings as they called them, every 4th Sun. She would make a mashed potato salad and off we go for hours of preaching and dinner on the grounds afterwards. Dear memories of our loved ones live on as Marty said. I finally figured out why she had mashed potato salad; she would always cook the potatoes too long hehe. Glad you got your eyes done and they turned out great. I need to have my left eye done as it is drooping a little, not a lot but you can tell it is different. I am still having the bad pain under my right ribs. Just handling now, need to have more test done yuk! Warm here and fixing to rain. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/15/2014 5:17:54 P.M.

She came over here when she was a little girl from Ireland. greenie In a message dated 3/15/2014 5:13:42 P.M.

I can remember her scraping it over the sink. She had one of the those toasters that you have to pull it done to turn the toast over. The rest of her food was delicious so I could never complain. She was a great cook and a great lady. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/15/2014 3:16:03 P.M.

I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! All my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing...never made a face nor uttered a word about it! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said, "Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then." Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Mom put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides--a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!" As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. And that's my prayer for you today...that you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker! We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket--keep it in your own." So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine. And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life--I just did! Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
