PRAYER

IN THE WOODS

I do not need a clock in this green place, God is my time with His eternal face.

The trees are tall & strong, the sweet birds sing & silence seems to smile on everything.

The sunlight fills my heart, it leads the way, like the finger of God this summer day.

It's a beautiful world, I make my own walking with God in the woods alone.

BIOGRAPHY

     I was born in San Lous O Bispo, California on December 12, 1936.  I met my husband in high school and we were married in 1952. To this union, 4 children were born; 3 boys and 1 girl. We moved to Clayton, Idaho in 1975, where we owned and operated the Saturday Mountain Resort. I still live there, but due to depressed times we closed the resort. I still rent trailer spots there. I have been a cook for most of my working years. I retired in 1998.

     In 2003, I lost my youngest son due to a trucking accident. I lost the love of my life in 2007, due to illness.

     I have 11 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. All are boys except for 2 girls.

     My daughter is a Rebekah, as is her daughter. Our lodge is Silver Leaf #27 in Challis.
