      Loving Family

      A Driving with Anna Devotional

      by

      I hope you enjoy reading these blog entries and they bless your heart.

      To my in-laws for their support and love. To my brothers for their care of me long distance. To my sisters-in-law for sharing my brothers with me on occasion. To my nieces and nephews, cousins, Aunts and Uncles for being my extended family.

      Thanks to God for the words he gives me to express my heart.

      2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us.

      Just Trying to Help

      When I was growing up, our supper conversations sometimes got a little loud. I have three older brothers and we would sit around after eating to talk. We didn’t talk about our days since that happened earlier. We didn’t make announcements or comments. We had fun talking.

      I remember one conversation where we were talking about tombstones. I don’t remember how we got on the subject, but I do remember what we decided to put on our mother’s and father’s tombstones.

      Our Mom cut our hair, sewed our clothes, took care of most of the laundry and cooking, and usually tried to find ways to help us.

      Her constant refrain was, I was just trying to help! So we decided her tombstone would read just that.

      Our Beloved Mother

      Who was just trying to help.

      Our Dad spent most of his leisure time fixing things. He fixed cars, televisions, VCRs, and these days he fixes computers. He also fixed the washer, the dryer, and almost anything else that was in desperate need. Sometimes his fixes were just temporary because he didn’t have the tools or parts he needed.

      With four children it was usually an emergency, and consequently he would do a temporary fix. He would get back to whatever it was when he could. He would make do with what he had at the time. For his tombstone, we would put up two sticks, in a half-hazard cross pattern and it would read:

      Just Temporary

      We had fun making up other mottoes. I don’t remember what they were for my brothers or for myself. But I have adopted my mother’s motto. I find myself saying, I was just trying to help" on many occasions to my own children.

      Thank you to my family for those wonderful suppers where we talked and laughed. Those are some of my best memories. I miss those times, but I mostly miss my brothers.

      Thank you Dad for fixing so many things. Thank you Mom for always trying to help. Your legacy lives on. And thank you dear brothers for sharing your time with your little sister!

      Ephesians 3:7-8 This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details.

      When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God's way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities.

      Prayer

      Lord, thank You for
