Once a year?

The last post was over a year ago. sigh.
Life here in Texas seems to go so fast that I can't keep up. I work hard trying to get EVERYTHING done. Then earlier this week, my body said, nope. And so, I stopped for a couple of days to catch my breath. I am haunted by things undone--cards not sent, gifts not made, visits not made. We lost a dear friend this week. He had been under hospice care for a short while. I wanted to see him again one more time. But that is one of the things undone when my body said "no more". And it will forever be too late now. I will see him in eternity. But I wanted to kiss his dear, sweet face one more time. Hold his hand.
There are so many hurting friends and loved ones. It is overwhelming. I want to help each one of them. But I'm only one. And they are many. I have neglected the most important thing I could be doing for them. I could be praying. I should be praying. Daily. I *can* do that. I *will* do that. God is big enough to take care of them all--as He does. May He help me to do what I should for the people I love so dearly.
