Nashville

Lots of things happened while we lived in Nashville.We had our first child, Windy Lynn. I was sure that I was expecting and went to see Dr. Birmingham to confirm. Honey was working at the A&P Grocery Store and he tells it so well how that as he was working I walked to the  isle where he was stocking canned goods, I said" You are going to be a father". I really cannot tell you his feelings as he keeps them to himself. I am sure he was apprehensive, fearful of the future, nervous and not sure about this father thing. I was so excited. I wanted a child. But the future wasn't as sure as we wanted it but God had us in His plans and that included our child. His plans are not always our plans but one thing is sure, if we follow Him and do as He leads nothing can fail. God has used Windy  over and over. He has placed within her the love of others. I could go on and on about our daughter but not now.
Once weekend we went to Decatur to spend it with honey's parents. His father had picked us up in his car and as we were driving, we saw a dead animal on the side of the road and he said" there is our hamburger" I started throwing up, gagging and gagging. That is how they found out I was pregnant.! They were very excited.Their first grandchild. I don't think my parents were that excited.
The car we had, a 1954 Chevrolet station wagon given to us by my dad did not have any AC or heat... we were pastoring  in Winston County, the county where honey was born and it was his mother's home church, traveling each weekend in that car was beginning tro be difficult. I was pregnant, and the cold was about all I could take. Remember I was from Florida and coldest weather was only sweater weather! Not coats and hats and gloves...boy.  So honey bought a 1957 Buick, a burnt orange and dull pink car!!! Boy what a humdinger!!! It made it for a couple of years before the next car. I think we went through cars as much as we moved!!!!lol lol
We had a great time traveling to his kinfolks church, they loaded us up with groceries and gas plus a few dollars to help us through the next week. Isn't God good!" God is so good, God is so good, God is  so good , He is good to me." That song was our testimony many times as  we pastored over the years.
Thank you grandpa for listening to this little girls chatter..Love you J
