Yesterday we attended the funeral of a 94 year old woman. She and her husband would have celebrated their SEVENTIETH ANNIVERSARY in March! What an inspiration they have been to us and to so many others who knew them!
Every Sunday morning she was feeling well, this woman's husband would get up towards the end of Bible class and go and get her for worship. He was always so attentive to her - holding her purse and holding her arm. He, himself, uses a cane. They were a sweet, sweet couple and a wonderful example of faithfulness to Christ, His church, and to having a marriage that glorified God.
Joe's brother is our preacher, and he read Proverbs 31 at her service, which rightly described this sweet lady. Interestingly, last night in my ladies' Bible class, I was finishing up a series of lessons on marriage and we also read Proverbs 31. I hope you'll take the time to read it, too.
Females today talk about "goals". The life we celebrated yesterday was one of a woman who met her goals- the greatest of which is her eternal home. As Christian women, we too should strive to have those same goals. Those goals are the very best goals we could ever, ever have. No other goals compete.

Inspirations
Today my mom, daughter Lauren, and I went to Oklahoma City (OKC) for the day. For lunch we ate at a tea room called "Inspirations". It's in Edmond, a suburb of OKC. My mom and I had eaten there before, but my daughter never had. In fact, she wasn't too sure she would like it....thinking it was just for more "mature" ladies and not for teenage girls. By the end she was very pleasantly surprised!
When eating at Inspirations (click here to view the website), guests are first served a heart-shaped scone with lemon curd in a tiny little cup and saucer...so cute!. (I should have taken a picture so you could see it.) The food is delicious and served beautifully with special attention to small details. Every entree is served with a fresh flower and a scripture.
This scripture was on my lunch plate today: "For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 What an "inspirational" and much-needed thought from God's Word!
If you're ever in Edmond, Oklahoma, take the time to stop by Inspirations! You will be inspired.
