THE THREE R SISTERS

When we have eyes to see and ears to hear, we are in constant surprise of life's moments which bring both satisfaction and joy.

Today I offer one of those special times.

Today Ruth is traveling with her daughter and son-in-law to a family reunion.  It has been ten years since Rubye, Rose, and Ruth have been together.  These three sisters are close-knit; but sorta up there in years.  Because of the latter, their travels aren't especially numerous.

So the Three R Sisters will one more time be reunited.  Oh just imagine the past that will be rehearsed along with the tears of thankfulness that will be shared.  The gratitude for God giving each an enduring faith will be intentionally enjoyed.

I don't know two of the sisters; only one.  Ruth Branum is a member of our Memorial Drive family.  And while there are many doctrinal or inspirational matters of which I could write this morning, I must bypass each of those zones to say to the Three R Sisters....have a fabulous time sitting together and enjoying the precious moments.

You see, the Three R Sisters are each beginning their second century of life; Rubye is 110, Ruth is 104, and the baby of the trio, Rose, is 101.  I believe we all celebrate the simplicity of just knowing such a gathering is going on this week.

A hearty congratulations to the Three R Sisters.  You bring us great joy in just knowing this much of your story!
