Slow Days

   Well, as with any other Sunday, I spent the day with my wife. We did a lot of "couples" junk, and then we came home. My youngest daughter came home from her friend's house yesterday. So, she and my granddaughter played together for a while.

 

          I decided to grill some hamburgers late yesterday evening, so I set about doing that. My wife came home and had some pajamas for our neighbor; do you remember about the guy I told you about that was dying from cancer? I hope you do. Well, I told my wife to ask if he and his wife had eaten dinner,(actually, I just hollered across the street), and I told her to take them a couple of burgers.

 

         I didn't give it another thought...it's just something you do for someone. I figure his wife is kept busy caring for him, maybe she needed a break from cooking. Whatever, it's just something you never even give any thought to. You just do it, and go on about your business. You don't ask for anything in return, that's not why you do things for people. At least, not me.

 

           So, about an hour later the phone rings...it is our neighbor's wife. She wanted to speak to my wife. After my wife hung up the 'phone, she told me that our neighbor hadn't eaten in the past four days, and his wife said he ate BOTH the burgers that she had taken to them! My wife asked if she would like some more, Mrs. J. declined, but said to "tell your husband that Mr. J. said he was a great cook!!!" Mrs. J was just happy that Mr. J. had finally eaten something.

 

            The burgers, and all of the fixin's that went with them were cheap....the thanks of a neighbor was priceless. I was happy to know that I may have helped in some small way. There is a moral here.....I know what it is, I will let YOU decide just what it means to YOU.

 

            Holla' If You Hear Me!!!
