Old Fashion

I may be a bit old fashion. Okay, I'm a whole lot old fashion at times.

Oh don't get me wrong I love the modern conveniences of indoor plumbing, electricity and the internet, But.......
I have been thinking about some of the good things we are loosing to modern conveniences. Such as, who takes the time to hand write letters to friends anymore. Instead we Facebook or text. I'm guilty! We are loosing the art of hand writing. Most children don't know how to write, it isn't being taught in school anymore. 

 

Think about the last time you received a hand written note from a friend. How did that feel? Did you just quickly glance at it and toss it aside? I doubt it. I imagine you read it completely and reread it again, and probably put it somewhere so that you could keep it for a while. 


Occasionally David or I open a book and find that we have hidden an old card or letter from each other between the pages. Wow! the flood of memories, emotions and feeling. Am then we reread the letter again. 


I'm going to start hand writing notes to my dear friends and family members. Hopefully they will know that they are thought of and loved. 

 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart...........   Philippians 1:7 

What traffic sign best reflects your life right now?

I think my life has reflected all of these signs and many more at one time or another.  A few other signs that I have found funny are: 

1. The first time I arrived in Hyrum, UT we were in a residential area, with nice home and there was a Cattle crossing sign. 13 years later and that sign is still there. 

2. Years ago while driving through Oklahoma there was a sign that read, "Do Not pull off road in smoke" a few yard down the road was a sign that read, " Do Not drive through Smoke" What am I suppose  to do?

3. While on vacation in New Jersey David & I saw this sign -     

     Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh because anywhere else I had ever been they were called speed bumps. I'm glad that most people were not obeying these signs. Can you imagine the traffic jams. 

4. This morning as I drove past our church sign I laughed out loud because It read, " Free Coffee and Everlasting Life"  Well for living in a predominately Mormon state (They believe that drinking tea or coffee is a sin) that was Funny.  Yet at the same time it reminded me to pray for two missionaries that David & I have been talking to. I want them to see the truth of God's Love and to be set free from bondage.
