HELPING

I just had the nicest phone call from my brother Jeff. We must have talked for about
forty minutes, atleast. He told me about his and Pam's trip out to Yellowstone and to Jackson
Hole, Wyoming, to celebrate their fifty third wedding anniversary! The topic meandered
off onto when we were small children and what it was like for us growing up.
Mind you, he is ten years older than me! He told me that he remembered
going out to grandmother's trailer park where she would often sit him down and help him
learn to tie his shoelaces. She would tell him to always be careful to help someone,
 because he might be helping Jesus unaware!
Good advice!
 Jeff often goes out to the nursing homes in Mount Dora, and delights the little ladies and
 gentlemen out there with his whistling, and his legal assistance. This is his ministry,
 just as mine is with my "Mom's Who Lost Children/ Good Grief."
To think we both owe our start to Reina Ryskamp Bouterse,....a little Dutch lady from
Kronigen, Holland, who married Rev. Matthew John Bouterse, a  Dutchman from
Rotterdam, Holland who also shampooed carpets on the side.
God is always in control and had Becky Lock's future in His hand from day one!
Actually, we owe our start to God, who had this all planned anyway!
