I would have to say my most “surreal“ moment was when I went to church one Sunday…
I was sitting in the pew 
… listening to the sermon… What it was about… I have no idea…
We… being my husband and two little boys had been going to this church for a few months… 
My cousin, her husband and little boy had been going too…
I had never actually belonged to a church before…
I had went off and on with friends and such…
As I was sitting there… a feeling of such calmness… came over me…
I will never forget that!…
It was like I was in a dream-like state 
…
I heard a voice… Not a voice of someone around me…
I say to this day… “It was the Lord talking”…
Surreal???… Oh, yes it was!
I found myself listening to this voice as it said, “Give her time”…
I knew the voice was speaking of me…
I sat there and then… what seemed like someone literally lifting me up… almost trance-like… I was getting up and walking… I felt like I was floating…
Down the middle of the church aisle that led to the front of the church… 
All I knew… was that I wanted to profess my belief in Jesus…
He had entered my heart… I must have finally let the barriers down… letting Him see me and me… Him…
It was such a transformation!…
Yes, “surreal” is such a good word for this experience…
I felt like I was in a dream-like state as I mentioned… and this feeling of pure joy abounded for weeks…
I was in a place of such peacefulness… I knew it was real!…
I had so many ups/downs in the years to come…
A son who was diagnosed with Bi-polar Disorder…
A husband home from Viet-Nam with past memories flaring up…
My job in the public school system with Special Needs children…
Parents growing older… A dad dying…
A Mother (90) years old)… moving in with us…
A Mother passing away…
A Brother passing away…
A Sister passing away…
My husband’s family leaving us… one by one…
But, ever since that “surreal” happening… I have not been alone…
My Lord has been there …
and now I picture my hand in His
... if ever I need comfort… if ever I need strength… if ever I need love…
and it’s so “surreal” …

I use my “green thumb” to… try and keep a few flowers growing from year to year that were my Mother’s… A Red Rose who I call “Booker”… which was the last name of her friend that had given it to her… It has now been 15 years… and some Jonquils that she gave me when we moved to our home… which has now 26 years ago…
The secrets to life are… accepting yourself… Expect from others, only what you are able to do yourself… Give of yourself daily in some way… Love and have respect for your mate… Accept the Grace that the Lord offers… Keep family close!
I get my money’s worth by… being thrifty in shoppping … planning ahead… being resourceful…
On a scale of 1 to 10, my level of organization is… never 100%… but, I can usually put my hands on most everything… Taking notes and keeping a calendar helps me immensely!
A gentleman always… treats a woman respectfully!
Handwritten notes are… are the best way to convey thanks, appreciation and thoughtfulness!… It gives the receiver a feeling of being truly appreciated with the time/effort put into them!
