I am so sorry for not writing anything for the past two weeks. This will be short but I wanted to let you know that I haven’t forgotten.

Right now Gene and I are having a lot of health problems and it is hard for me to do this. We are so thankful for our children. Beverly is staying with us for a while and Susan is in and out all day helping. Our son are at work and will be home soon. We just couldn’t do it without them.

Bro. Dan came by and told me that Nancy Sitton is not doing well after a stroke and a fall which during X-ray a mass on her kidney was found. It’s amazing how God works, but for the fall the mass would not be found.

The same thing happened to me. If I had not fallen, we would not have known I was in renal failure. I knew I felt terrible but Gene needed me.

Ramona Klingman will be having eye surgery this week after oxygen hurt her eye.

Jane Brumfield fell and is recuperating at home.

I miss seeing these precious women. I miss church but listen to the service on fb. Bro. Dan has some good messages and I love them.

I’ve missed a lot of birthdays, here are some of them, our daughter-in-law Bernice 4th; Ramona Klingman, Tammy Martin 11th; Brad Fortenberry 12th; great nephew Bobby Brown 14th; Anthony Simmons 16th; Jeffery Fortenberry 17th; Helen May 19th; Linda Laird 20th; Rebecca Martin and our great grandson Jaxson Steele 21st; Nina Fortenberry and Rachel Harrell 22nd; Alissa Fortinberry and Tammy Strickland 23rd; Sharon Anderson 24th. All of you we wish you a happy birthday and a Merry Christmas.

Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve Him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek Him, you will find Him. - 1 Chronicles 28:9

Have a safe and Merry Christmas, Aline.
