This weekend I went to the Memphis "gatehouse." I go to visit there from time to time to help Ayala out with kids and the housework. A few years ago when she still lived in the Selmer village, I used to come and do the same every week. We called her my second mom but really she's like a much older sister :) I had a wonderful time helping with the kids (especially Aya's baby, Naomi) swimming at the Y, making homemade granola bars, and going to the little boys baseball games. It was at one of these games that I saw a really cute elderly couple. They both had on sun hats and sunglasses and they took such good care of eachother. I decide to complement them and find out how long they'd been together. Adel, the woman told me they'd been married forty-eight years then she went on to ask about me and my interests. I told her I did irish dancing. "I love that! We love to watch River Dance too!" she told me. I told her about Wind Dance and, what do you know? They had seen us! Totally awesome! Our conversation continued and we talked about my interest in massage. The husband Charleston had to "sample" my skills :) Then we talked about what we believed about Jesus and Christianity. They seemed to have the same views as us - in the belief that Christ is love and that you must not judge others but love them. It was a good conversation and I'm glad I talked to them. Not sure what will come out of it, but thank you, Lord.
