so tonight after Christmas in the Cove we went back to Dr. Thompson's house. there was a little old woman there who had cancer... i believe her name was Mrs. Jackie. She had to be around 90 years old... Dr. Williams is the one who gave her a job here in 1965. The whole room of people sat and listened to her talk for about an hour after we got there. She told stories of mission work she did and people she met. She kept saying things like, "the Lord knows what he ought to do with me" and "He knows best." You couldnt help but listen to this frail old lady...she had such a presence...such wisdom.
i dont know how, but that small hour of time in the same room showed me a lot. All i want in life is to make God smile. i want to waltz into heaven hearing Him say, "Good job, my child, youve done well." that is ALL i want out of life.
Dear God, thank you for teaching me to ....
....breathe.
Ms. Jackie is one of the coolest ladies ever! She is such a blessing to talk to about her ministry. She actually used to be the campus minister here at Williams and her experiences can teach us all something :)
