Had Arne over for Brunch




Well, I have little to share, I feel. This world has made me numb. Seeing everything around us fall into pieces. One ray of sunshine was having Arne Bryan visit us yesterday. We had a New Zealand lamb roast  that I prepared with rosemary and garlic. He told us he had crepes before he came, so we made jokes about how he had dessert before his entree. He brought us bright yellow tulips, all wrapped up in honor of our friendship, and memories of Deborah. I don't generally care for yellow, but reflecting on Deborah,  yeah it all makes sense.. her name means bee.. the sweetness of the honeycomb.. Why not bright yellow. Vibrant, Joyful. In-case you are new to my blog, Arne was the 95 year old man who walked a long distance in Crescent Beach to baptize Deborah in 2014, two days prior to her taking her life. The tide was waaaay out. Today Arne is 97  who just got his license renewed, for another 5 years with no questions asked.  I told him, Arne, I knew and told you a long time ago that you will not die.. He said.. that unlike for some, the Lord has not told him about this element of his life.. I believe Arne will be raptured at the sound of the trumpet.. He will not see death.We had sweet fellowship, about his past, present and future.. He lives with a loving family, and shared how his television fees were part of his rent. He talked about the future of Prayer Canada, and how a retired volunteer lawyer is looking at all the papers, to clarify things. He shared how he rather pray after finding out about needs, than have long winded bible studies. He shared how he was left on the shores of the Atlantic, rather than having to go oversees to fight in WW2, and that they hired him on. He shared about how his wife Cathy sold 3 useless horses at an auction for pittens, that did not belong to her, and how the man who it belonged to ended up sending them on an all inclusive trip to Hawaii, without his knowledge, because by then Arne had married this sweet widow.  His story is in the book he wrote a few years ago.





My mom on the other hand is in palliative care. She is still receiving her insulin shots, but is no longer mobile at the age of 75. She has Lewy Bones Disease, along with Parkinsons 2. I am still praying for her salvation. She is not realizing that her soul lives eternally, and she decides where she will spend the rest of her eternity.
