LaRue and Clara




PROVERBS 3:5,6
My Mother was a tall woman.  Her long legs made sitting on her lap secure and safe.  I would lean back, her arms locking me in place and go to sleep. (She was over 80 when she died and I still felt safe on her lap.)

 My Grandmother Treat, on the other hand, was short and wide.  Sitting on her lap was wonderful; she was like a fluffy pillow.  But, I had to hold on.  There just wasn't enough room between her stomach and knees to provide the width needed for restful sleep.

 The difference in napping on my Mother's lap and my Grandmother's, was comparable to sleeping on a king-size bed or a twin. I would take either one every chance I got!

Proverbs 3:5,6 has been a "king-size" Scripture that I have been able to embrace and in it I have found respite. Try it on.


 "TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH."  Proverbs 3: 5,6
