We leave tomorrow morning. We are traveling from Beaumont to Corsicana. Then on Sunday, we go from Corsicana to Lubbock. I keep hearing about the weather. There are storm warnings and it could possibly be icy and even snowing.
I am asking for prayers. Prayers that the roads will be clear and I can take my parents back to their home. Then I need prayers that the airport in Lubbock will be open and I can travel back on Monday to my home and see my baby daughter and her new husband for a day before they leave to go back home.
Our visit has been good. We have had some laughs, some tense moments as in all families, but good conversation. I am sorry that we have not had the type of conversations we use to have or that I would like to have but I am afraid to have these days. I don't like conflict and I am certain, it would resolve to that eventually, if these type of conversations were started. So we keep them inside and don't talk about certain subjects.
It is hard to see your parents getting older. It is hard to see your parents having to rely on others for their day to day activities. It is harder to see your parents have no more day to day activities, than getting up and getting dressed!
I need one more prayer, by the way. For the last six months or so, my sister has been talking to my parents about moving to Corsicana to be closer to them. I would love this as this would not only give them family close by, it would put them closer to me. My sister showed them a house or two last week, but now my parents are discouraged and thinking that they will not move. They may just be talking. But I need prayers that God will lead them to the right house and they will move. I would really like them to move. But I certainly want what is best for them.
