Not much happening around here. I worked today and it was payday, how exiting is that!
Debbie and I went for lunch at Moxie's. That was fun as we always have lots to talk about. As you might remember Debbie was widowed just a little over two years ago. She has two kids, whom she adores and lives for.
She was telling me (I have heard that before) how she could identify with people who have Aids or some other infectious decease, why? Because you are being avoided like you have a plague. Most of the friends she and Gerald used to get together with are sort of staying away.
My sister-in-law who was widowed last July tells me the same thing. Nobody calls her and neighbours step quickly back inside the house when she walks down the street. Even members of her own church they attended for over 30 years ignore her.
What is wrong with people! I find that absolutely shocking. I am certainly NOT looking forward to that stage in my life.
Okay, you are going to tell me, "But Trudy the Lord will look after you!" Yeh, right! Just like we tell a person who is in financial need, "I will pray for you!" That is the easy way out.
Do you have any comments? I sure like to hear them.
That's all for now folks. Keep that light shining! Hahaha!

That is so interesting. I wonder if it has something to do with how the enemy works. Satan KNOWS that as Christians we are to look after the widows, orphans and the poor. And yet not many of us are doing that. I don't know what more I should say, but I truly hope that we (Christians) get there acts together and start doing what we are told.
Hello Trudy,
Just wanted to let you know that I posted a big thank you to Yvonne for all the blogs she has created over the years.
I see that she created yours also, would you be willing to stop my post and "sign" this thank-you card by leaving a comment?
It's such a pity that some people miss-use the following words:
"I'll pray for you"... because religion has nothing to do with being hurt, or having pain.
While they mean:
'I cannot solve any pain- or your problem', they mean to say: I don't like your problems, or I don't know what to say or do, '...'
Some sweet words and a listening ear is enough!!!!
YOU cannot always solve other's problems...just don't avoid people in pain, just pity ( say you feel sorry) for their pain, but stay yourself, thats all you need to do.
And a suggestion to hurt people: tell other people you like their company.... even when it's not easy for you...cry whenever you want, most people like to company or listen to you...
