Today took on another form then just house duties.
Eddie had his morning to share the Gospel News. He just loves to see people transform by the power of the God's Word. God really uses him at the campus'. Please pray for more people to trust Jesus to cleanse their hearts from sin and give them hope of heaven. Thank you.

Well, when I told you that I would be in a dress one day again, I didn't think it was going to be for awhile. However, a good friend's husband passed away so it was time to put off the work clothes. Literally, I didn't do anything to the house today.
It wasn't a day for hammers, nails, and paint. It was a day for memories and friends and family.

It was a military memorial so as they folded the flag, the military read the meaning of the 13 folds.
Here they are: Symbols for the Folds of the Flag
The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.
The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life.
The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks, and who gave a portion of his or her life for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.
The fourth fold represents our weaker nature; as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace, as well as in times of war, for His divine guidance.
The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong.”
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The seventh fold is a tribute to our armed forces, for it is through the armed forces that we protect our country and our flag against all enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.
The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor our mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s Day.
The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded.
The 10th fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since he or she was first born.
The 11th fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The 12th fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost.
When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, “In God We Trust.”

While we were there, my daughter and I stopped by our families graves.
There is Gramps- Charles Ward Smith
Great Grandpa- Charles Hutchenson Smith
Great Grandma- Maude Smith
Great Uncle- William C. Smith
It's still hard to have gramps gone. It's a very difficult thing to be without him, but God has been so good at getting us through. The hard thing is to hear the Doctors say he had a lot more time and then to have him go before that time. It really has caused a pain inside that hasn't healed yet.
Anyway, today we send our Sympathize to the Farrar Family, as Mr. Don Farrar has moved to his eternal home with Jesus.
Blessings.
