April showers bring May flowers
carolgunter

The month of March is about over we will be welcoming April. Is it April showers that bring May flowers? Just some warmer weather will help us now. The weather this time of the year can be wild at times. We were lucky we didn’t get this severe weather of high winds, hail, tornadoes, and flooding for our area on Wednesday night. The really bad weather stayed south of us.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Talmage Young on Sunday, March 14th. His health had been failing for quite some time. “Aubrey” and Talmage were friends. Over the years so many people went to Smithville Auto Supply that Talmage ran. Many a time Talmage went out of his way to accommodate Aubrey with parts he needed. Talmage was quite a guy. Talmage and Bobbie attended one of our “Gunter Reunions” a few years back. They were looking forward to the next reunion, because they had such a good time. His health issues got worse so they couldn’t come to the next reunion. I can remember Bobbie telling me after Aubrey had passed away of the times her and Talmage would be out in their yard working when Aubrey would come by in his semi and blow the horn and she said she would always remember his hand coming up and waving at them. They both thought so much of Aubrey and were so hurt by his passing as so many others were.

We never know when we will die so the most important decision for us to make in this life is accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. He will forgive you of your sins. Just ask Him. You’ll be in His presence after you pass away here and be in heaven for eternity where all is grand and all is perfect. Jesus loves us all. That is why He died on the cross for us.

Please keep in prayer: Treva White, Rose Watts, Helen Nixon, Jeanette Smithson, Wendy Hildreth, Ethelene Pedigo, Charlie Mai Daniel, and Ronald Lawson, and also the family of Talmage Young at this sad time in the loss of their dear loved one.

April birthdays to let you know about: Connor Meyncke, Claire Nicole O’Neal, Carolyn Fryar, our daughter, Diane Evans, Wanda Dunham, Dustin Johnson, Kim Hall, Edith Miller, Brooklyn Pedigo, and Debbie Melton.

God commandeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
