“Room For One More!” | Grandma’s Stories

Aug 19th “Room For One More!”

In a family of young parents and children – were the words make “Room For One More” – ever used? Just the other day one of my sons called me and said for me to check out the movie, “Room For One More” – and he said he was not going to tell me why I should watch this movie – “just do it soon!”

Well, it is a good thing for me, the “INTERNET” – because that is where I can find stuff for “OLD PEOPLE” – “that would be me!” “Lucky” for me – I took the time to watch it again – since it is as old as me – I did get to see it years, ago – but after awhile – you forget a lot of old stuff – that you figure you do not need to keep – up front on one of the front “Brain Waves” – as there is only so much room – up front, for the important stuff – to be used every day.

After watching the movie – I called my son – and we went over the parts of the story – that when he saw it with his wife – reminded him of his childhood. And, this is the funny part – we, parents, when we are young – and the children are young and learning and remembering each and every deed, action and word that they hear us – their parents use toward them and everyone – of whom, we come in contact with – in the family setting. I was amazed at some of the stuff that I had a long time ago – forgot – no more need to remember, but, Lee was telling it to me – so fresh in his mind – as if it just happened , yesterday!

We, were such a family, as in the “MOVIE” presentation – it just seem so easy to have another child stay with us, – kids just loved to be at our house – as so many times – when it would be someone’s “BIRTHDAY” or some upcoming “Celebration” time – my children’s friends would let me know that – they would like their name to be on the list of the invited! We seem to always have “Room For One More” and that even included – “Animals” – all kinds. That also, included us going out of our way to go and pick them up!

When I think back, now – I enjoyed all of the activities that I volunteered for – Mother’s Club one of the Mothers to go with the class on any outings – Red Cross Nurse, at school on Wednesdays – Den Mother – meetings at our out house, and I would take my “DEN” on trips to visit “Businesses” for a up front tour of how things are made and done. And, When there was a need for Leaders, to get the Four –H Group started, we had all the children interested in “Horse Care and Management” to meet at our place. Also,the girls who wanted to have their own group and learn about sewing – something that I like to do – and having extra sewing machines – we would meet at our house and my boys were ever so willing to be a part of helping the girls, too!

All praise and glory to Almighty Yahweh, for giving us – all our different talents – to help our neighbors – friends and family on this journey to a much better place!

I can recommend for all “FAMILIES” to view – “Room For One More” – You will feel a “Tug at Your Heart” to do more for all those who are in need, now!
