Observations of a Farmgirl:
My brother narrowly escaped great harm, or worse yet death last night when the tire on his truck blew......and he lost control and traveled upwards of 200 feet in the opposite lane. Thankfully there was no oncoming traffic because it was about 1 a.m. God is ALWAYS watching us......and we know that HE had his eyes on Rob earlier in the day....because the alternator on his truch broke...so much so that the bolt holding it to the engine broke. As fate would have it, it took many hours to get the broken bolt out and the alternator fixed. Had the alternator not broken he would have been on a busy road......that is usually filled with speeding semi's when the tire blew. Had it blown earlier in the day.....he would have met oncoming traffic and the results would have been devastataing.
I have always been a firm believer that things happen for a reason......I also believe that there are no coincidences. Today just confirms my beliefs.
Thank you God for watching after us. We need you ........ and you are always there.
Affirmations of a Farmgirl:
Whoever possesses God in their being, has him in a divine manner, and he shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see.
Meister Eckhart
About Me
- Kate Stiefer
- Tyler, Texas
- I have been married to my husband John since 1975. A long time, but it has flown by! He's the love of my life!( My maiden name is Burch.) We were not blessed with children of our own...but we have a slew of nieces and nephews who keep our hearts full and quite satisfied. Our kids are of the 4 legged persuasion...two Schnauzer girls, Jill and Trinket, and a Black cat, Sissy, who has no idea she's a cat... thinks she too is a Schnauzer. I grew up as an Air Force brat...and had the good fortune to travel to many places in the world while my father defended our country. We lived on Guam and traveled to places like the Phillippines, Hong Kong, Japan....you get the picture!!?? Our classroom was the world, and I so appreciate the opportunities my parents provided for us kids. (There are 4 of us....Pat, Sally, me (Kate), and Rob. John and I met in Texas...and several years later we moved to Phoenix, Arizona where we spent the next 25 years.(We actually lived in Tempe.) We recently moved back to Tyler, TX and are living in a wonderful old house in the Azalea/Brick Street District. I have named our little corner of the world...Brick Street Farm.
