Bea’s funeral went without a hitch, of course. We saw several more of the folks we knew from our South Oaks Baptist Church days. Great to get reacquainted. Not so great circumstances, of course.
Before heading home, we had lunch with Larry and Dianne at Arnold’s. Pretty sure that wasn’t the real name of the place, but as Larry explained, it is basically a hole-in-the-wall hamburger joint, and the owner reminds him a lot of Arnold from Happy Days, and the food is homemade and really good. He wasn’t wrong.
I was wondering if Chris would want to make a second stop at a place we checked out on our way into town. It was called The Christmas Company in Madisonville. Frankly, it was quite disappointing to me. Oh, it was a big barn full of Christmas decorations and ribbons miscellaneous paraphernalia. I was guardedly optimistic. There was one thing I was looking for. One very simple request. But No. they didn’t have a single t-shirt that said, “Ho! Ho! Ho!” We didn’t go back.
We did make a stop on the way home, though. I mean, other than the one for gas at Buc-ees. Nana had to set eyes on Ezra to make sure for herself that he was OK. He was doing great and even eating up a storm.
Galatians 1:10 says, For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
Father, please continue to walk with the Bryant family. Love them and bless them lots and lots. Amen.
