Last night my husband and I went to dinner over an elderly couples home from our church. You know what I like best about spending time with people that are older.... they usually have great wisdom.
We shared a nice southern meal - fried chicken, pinto beans, corn bread and slaw. Afterwards we sat on the front porch to watch the thunderstorm. Let me tell you a little something about Wayne and Sissy...
Wayne and Sissy have been married for 54 years. They are from Kentucky and grew up on a farm. They raised four boys and have many grandchildren today which are the apple of their eye. Wayne was a professor and is a talented music director and bible teacher in our church. You can spend one hour with Wayne and I guarantee you will know something you didn't know before. He loves to tell stories and he is a true teacher at heart. Sissy is his true love and support but still to this day complains she doesn't get to spend enough time with him! They are just plain good people!
The reason why I told you a little something about these two is because it just takes a little kindness and a little hospitality to create bonds and teach lessons. We should all strive to be more like Wayne and Sissy... live simply, love greatly and work earnestly in whatever and wherever you are needed. If I could sum up what makes these two so great would be the time they give to others over themselves - they truly know the meaning of making a difference or impact on someones life just by be selfless... that in itself is a lesson learned just by witnessing the example of who they are... their true nature... just because they love.
