"3/4 CIRCLE"

You know how we say "it's comes full circle"?  Life is that way and we know it does come full circle from life to death.  This weekend I realized (as I have been the last couple of years) that I am 3/4th of the way to full circle.  Saturday we spent the day in Fergus Falls with Kris and his family at the County Fair.  It was rather hot and I did wear a hat, as the heat really bothers me.  More than once, my son Kris and his wife Dustie said "we need to get Mom in the shade or you need to get her some water to drink". (pause)  It was really neat, touching and loving to see my children starting to care for me!!  Then today in church, we had a very difficult meeting to attend.  We have attended this church for 35 years and it was voted on and the decision was made we must close October 31, 2004. After the meeting I wept in my oldest son Randy's arms.  And, he held me and said "that it would be alright,Mom".  The circle is closing .....as it should be.
