“The RoseBouquet”

Barbara (of Barbara-Good-Books.com) gave feedback last week on my article, “On Second Thought…”

………….
I had a similar reaction to the woman writer you mentioned. The first sentence had me in full accord and after that I thought - ‘no!’ As I was reading, my husband produced a sheet of ’sayings’ by a 90 year-old in the States. Of 45 wise saying, the one grabbed me most was - ‘no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.’

Another which was given me by my Crusader Leader in my teens and quoted again by my Doctor yesterday; ‘better to wear out than to rust out.’ He was referring to the pain in my leg which prevented me from walking too far. I’m keeping all 45 sayings for starting points for my writing.
………….

Yes, we can always find some sayings we can agree with, and Barbara is right, we can use them as starting points for our writing - even if, like I did, you use it to point out the wrong of something.

Well, I told you I had put the Thanksgiving tract on hold. The Director had a meeting with the Assistant Director and myself last Wednesday and urged me to complete it. So I was polishing it up yesterday, and hope to put suitable graphics with it this afternoon. If that works out we can announce it as available in our monthly “Praise & Prayer Report” that goes out by email on the 1st of the month. Otherwise it will be hard to publicize it in time for Canadians to order it for Thanksgiving.

By the way, I refer in it to the American Thanksgiving, and as it talks about writing letters of gratitude, it would be suitable most any time. We are just low on our selection of seasonal tracts; this is why the director is urging me to write more such tracts. Anyway, if you are one of my USA residing friends, you could order it to pass around to your family and friends at your holiday too. I should have more details next week.

On other business fronts I am pressing ahead as I am able in each project slot and inching forward.
