"Wood stoves still warm me from the inside out!"

I close my eyes and I can still feel the warmth ,smell the delicious smell of the wood both in the big,round, black main stove in the center of our humble home in Star Holler and the special mix of smells of the wood,bacon,biscuits and gravy that wafted out most mornings as breakfast was being prepared on that old wood cookstove by my sweet mother.Of course the rest of the story,about the main stove was the memories of shivering on the backside as you warmed from the frontside only,at first when you first got up,but never you mind for the warmth,from the inside of your happy,childhood,safe,home quickly reunited the front and back as you turned back and forth to warm every part.I can't burn outside here in town,so, my children bought me a chimenea a few years ago for Christmas.So now,when I need that,warmth from the inside out,I build me a little wood fire and as always,it refreshes my spirit and revives my bruised and torn heart.Thanks Children!
My phone rang Sun. eve before church.I said,"Hello!" A little voice says,"Hi Gwammy!" I answer with our little game we play;"Hello,who is this anyway?" The little voice echoes with excitement as he says,"It's Wicky and you know what,Gwammy?"I can tell he is busting to tell me something.I answer,"What,lil Ricky,what is it?" "Gwammy,we got us a Woodstove!"I answer,with tears in my voice,"Oh,Ricky,I am so excited"The other part of this is throughout much of that day,I was feeling sad and praying for a couple of my loved ones,definitely in need of what I call "wood stove thoughts,"if not the wood stove itself.The remarkable part of this is,as I learned from talking to my son,Ricky2 after my conversation with "lil Ricky" is that "lil Ricky",on his own,asked for my number cause he "needed to talk to Gwammy." Thank you,loving,Heavenly Father,for yet again the sign from above of your special love and concern for me.If any who is reading this are feeling cold,lonely,in need of warmth,reach out to a loving Heavenly Father and may He grant you,your"wood stove" moments,whatever it takes to make you aware of His special care and give you the warmth of spirit and body you need.
