10/28/2007 - Chain Saw
I know that we can’t take anything with us after we die, but the American dream is universal: I inherited it from my grandfather and my father. God truly performed miracles for me with my very first house in America: I got more than a house for my money " I got a palace! Every day I open my eyes, I want to scream: this is MY house!
Bushy hedges in front of my house were the only thing that I didn’t like and I decided to trim them. Lowe’s has all kinds of stuff for the house, as I was told, so here I was wondering among the aisles, looking for a trimmer.
I took the trimmer and was ready to execute my vision while my son-in-law suddenly yelled, “Wow, careful!”
He took an obvious interest in my equipment, for some reasons. “Lydia, this is not a trimmer, this is a CHAIN SAW!” Curtis took a box and laughed, ‘Limb and Trim’? That is for sure! Your LIMB will fly away in an instance! Don’t you remember The Texas Chain Saw Massacre?!” I looked at everybody with suspicion - I may be blond, but not stupid! “Chain saw? This is a trimmer! I saw the ad on TV.”
While the whole family was holding their tummies, laughing, I was horrified envisioning my extremities gone.
Only God knows how I didn’t kill myself or somebody else " another miracle. Some lessons just do not come easy to me. But, as I said before, God is generous to me, giving me more and more stories to write.
