Eddie and Martha Marie Smith

Yes!!!  I finally got to wash my hair!!!!  I know to some of you that might seem like no big deal, but for a girl who has not been able to wash her hair in over two weeks and which still had a lot of dried blood left in, it was a HUGE deal!!!!

Isn’t it funny how we take so many things for granted?  Why is it that God sometimes has to let something disappear for awhile before we as God’s children are truly thankful?!?  That’s how you could describe my shower experience…..definitely that something I won’t take for granted again!   To me it seems that we are so spoiled in America and from our lips a lot of time all we express is how much we lack….what we don’t have…..what we “need” in order to live life to its fullest.   I wonder if one day I will ever truly be able to understand what Paul meant when he said “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Phil. 4:11-13. 

Thank God that He continues to work on me…..He’s not finished with me yet and for that I’m so very thankful!!!
