Chapter Thirty-Four

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”

Ephesians 4:29

“God bless you, Sis. Mills,” greeted Sis. Bettie. “So glad you could make it out this fine Saturday.”

“God bless you, too, Sis. Bettie. Sorry I missed you on Prayer Meeting night.What happened to you?”

“I fell under the weather, Sister. Come on with me to the Fellowship Hall. We can clean up down there first.” Sis. Bettie pointed toward the door.

“What happen to Bro. Harold?” she asked as they entered the building.

“He decided to go visiting with the men today. I told him he too old to go out walking in all that sun. But his old stubborn self decided to go anyway.”

“He’s not still mad at me, is he?” asked Sis. Bettie.

“Don’t you never mind him. He’s an old grouch sometimes. Have you heard anything else about the Wilmingtons?” asked Sis. Mills more out of curiosity than concern.

“Nope. Was they in church on Wednesday?” asked Sis. Bettie.

“The mother was but not the father or the daughter,” answered Sis. Mills.

“Something is brewing big time, child. Now you know the daughter is gone off to college down in Florida.”

“Oh, yes. I done forgot. Maybe best for her at a time like this. Well, anyways, when Pastor asked for any special prayer requests, Sis. Wilmington did not even raise her hand.”

“Say what? Now, you know that ain’t Christian,” Sis. Bettie said. “The Bible says we ought to pray for each other. How can the church pray for healing for that situation if they don’t tell nobody?”

“Come to think of it, it’s a mighty embarrassing thing having a sister for many years and don’t know nothing about it. Maybe that’s why she did not ask for special prayer,” Sis. Mills said.

“Do you think Sis. Wilmington knows anything about it?” Sis. Bettie asked.

“I don’t know. But we can go visit her. You know...kind of ease into it. You know how to do it.”

“Not me,” said Sis. Bettie. “But I’m all for visiting. You know...let her know we thinking about her and the family. Can you pick me up on Monday?”

“Sure. I don’t think Harold will be using the car.”

The ladies arrived at the Wilmington’s house at five p.m.They were greeted with a cheery “hello” by Sis. Wilmington. “It’s so good for you to stop by. Thank you for thinking about us. Come on in.” She escorted them to the living room. After they were seated, she stuck her head in the hallway and shouted at Bro. Wilmington, “Willie, Sis. Mills and Sis. Bettie from the church are here to visit.”

Bro. Wilmington came in and chatted with the ladies for a while before excusing himself saying, “I’m sure you ladies want to fellowship and have some lady talk so I’ll excuse myself and get back to the computer.” After he closed the door to his computer room, Sis. Mills said hesitantly, “Sis. Wilmington, I don’t know how to
