This happened with in the last 5 years: An older lady at our church would always joke "Where's your coat" in the winter. This went on for a couple of years. I'd jsut shrug my shoulders. I didn't know what to say. To say I didn't have one made my husband look bad and made me feel .... well poor. One day when it was really cold outside, she asked me "Wheres your coat girl" then she looked right at me and said "You don;t have a coat do you?" Tears filled my eyes and I shook my head no. No other words were exchanged. The next Sunday she had me two coats. One nice one for church and one (still nice) but one I could wear around the farm or to play outside with the kids. I was so busy taking care of the kids needs that no one took the time to take care of my needs, not even me. I still have those coats. She has sense passed away and every time I wear those coats I can feel her love wrapped around me.
