I love my home town. This past week I returned there for a visit. I needed to see my dad who is recovering from a stroke. He is doing much better. I was greatly encouraged. His minds seemed to me to be sharp and his speech is coming back. He even stood up on his own legs and is starting to walk again. But back to my home town. I stayed at a local motel. (I did not want to burden my mom with company. My son was with Phyllis and I) This hotel is new and a wonderful place to stay. They also have an indoor swimming pool.
I had arranged to have a meal with a niece whom I had not seen in several years. She meet Phyllis, Markus (my son) and I at a local pizza place. She brought along her two small daughters. After the meal we went to her home and saw her home. The daughters showed us their rooms and toys. It was a wonderful visit. I told her that she could bring her daughters to the motel to swim and she took my up on the offer.
When I left town I was so happy I had been able to re-connect with one of my nieces. It felt good. She has even emailed me since the visit. I think God is delighted when we re-connect with loved ones. I know I need to work more on this issue and I am asking God to help me do it correctly. I do know it feels good.
