The Waldens

This guest post from Doris Dillon

Mr. and Mrs. Walden, an elderly couple that go to our church, moved across town here in Fort Worth. Several of us younger adults helped them get moved. The poor things, they are in their early 80’s, but at heart, they aren’t a day over 50. I sat down with Mrs. Walden a week before they moved in, and helped her set up most of her utilities on the computer. She was so impressed that by going to a website like www.shopelectricityratestexas.com/ , she could choose her energy provider. Things have changed a little in 45 years when she and Mr. Walden moved into their last house. On moving day, we were hoping to have them just point us in the direction that boxes were supposed to go, and let us help them unpack as much as we could. They had a different idea in mind. Mr. Walden was up in the truck passing boxes down. He never would admit to being sore after that either. I guess a little physical labor is no big deal after you serve in war for 2 years.
