Today was precious Sis. Nona Freeman's 93rd birthday. I was honored to attend her birthday party. Due to Sis. Freeman's having a stroke and some mini-strokes the past year, it was a private come and go party. It was nice but not on the magnitude of her 90th birthday party we attended. She is very fragile but looked wonderful and her spirit was great and I felt strength just being by her side. She is a precious longtime friend which comes from my late father and mother being pastor and wife. My father was a missionary's friend. He loved to have them stay for a day or two after a deputation service
so they could relax and visit.
One fond memory was when someone loaned them a motor home to deputize in and after the service in our city, they parked the motor home and came inside my parents home and Sis. Freeman brought her sewing machine in and sewed, etc. Dad made the missionaries feel so at home and Mom cooked good homecooked meals for them.
At a ladies conference several years ago when Mom was still alive, she told my mother, I have never forgotten a one of those wonderful homecooked meals you fixed for us.
Precious memories.
Sis. Freeman is a miracle of Almighty God!
