CORINTHIANS 13

Love is patient, love is kind.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.


But the greatest of these is love.

I am NOT the Energizer Bunny!

Here it is Saturday, November 3, and I sure wish I could find some new batteries to place into my worn out body. (Certainly, it will take quite a few!) Post surgery, having come after feeling so terrible over the last several weeks has ransomed custody of my usual smiley and better tolerated self. I am more than anxious for the relaxed, happy Annette to return to residence in place of whoever it is I am forced to tolerate in this bloated, terribly bruised and frustrated 'alien body' that currently shelters my declining patience and worn physical state. My emotional being seems nervously thread bare during moments I just need some small measure of self cooperation, some miniscule degree of graceful execution and appropriate follow through. I was delightfully happy (and with the grace of God, I could stand tall and smile!) to attend my niece's wedding this afternoon. She took our breath away; an exquisite bride, glowing and self assured. The beautiful bouncing baby girl with dazzling dark eyes and eager yet toothless smiles, was just six months old when I walked down the aisle feeling like the princess out of a fairy tale. Suddenly she is all grown up and twenty-eight years later walking that very same church aisle. The newer, more contemporary princess bride. My how time flies; except when you feel like you just got run over by a semi-truck and the batteries onboard feel dangerously near the expiration date. Must be those rusty cables.......or maybe my dusty glass slippers placing a hex on me.........I did not stay for the throwing of her bouquet or for celebrating as I would like. Needless to say, I tuckered early into their reception, so I will wait for the photos and videos. I am sure the wedding cake must have tasted as sweet as the bride felt! God Bless Bethany and Steve............I hope they have a beautiful, productive and passionate married life for years and years to come.
