A New Person in My Life
I have a new person in my life. Well, actually she has been around since mid-October. She is with me whenever I am out and about on errands or traveling. Most times we are not engaged with each other, but on occasion she is nice to have around.
Unfortunately she is sometimes a bit slow. On a trip to the T-town area last month my husband and I found ourselves a bit exasperated with her for her lack of ability to think on her feet quickly.
And sometimes she is just plain confused and repeats the same phrase over and over. We had a verbal confrontation recently as she was helping me with a Mobile Meals route. Luckily she and I were the only two in the vehicle - otherwise people might begin to wonder about my sanity.
My husband and I have tried to come up with an appropriate name for her. (Notice I said appropriate. . .she had been called several things!) I suggested Miss Moneypenney recently. He insisted she would have to call him James. I don't really think that will work. The conversation went downhill from there as he suggested several other Bond names. Somehow I can't see myself addressing her as any of them, especially with teenage boys in the vehicle.
So for now she is My Girl - just a voice amongst My People.
simple faith
