My First Blog
copyright 2008
Orelia Ledbetter
I really don't understand the meaning of the word "blog", but I'll do my best.
Having reached the ripe old age of 92 through God's divine grace, I am wiser about my living, but weaker in flesh. What should I say about my 92 years traveling among human beings?
I have lived through the death of a still-born (female child), a miscarriage, a beloved son and the death of a husband to Alzheimer's. I believe my mission during these years was the gift of patience to listen to people in all phases of life, in joy and in sorrow and to remind them that God, the Holy Spirit, moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Also to keep hope and faith in the Great Spirit who holds us in the palm of His hand - (yes, we are tatooed there).
God has allowed me to witness four grandchildren graduate from College in recent years, allowed me to be healthy, to enjoy a rich and full life in its beauty on earth.
I am grateful.
To the Bettina home in which I stayed - the beauty of your connection with God through your colorful garden and flowers
brings joy to my heart as I remember your peace found in the response to your care.
