It’s no surprise that we actually needed to run out this morning for something! Chrissy rode with Kelly and I out to Michael’s to get more yarn for the blanket Kelly’s making – we came back and pealed the potatoes, washed the roaster, and set the corn and bread to thaw. Kelly made pita pizzas for lunch. Chrissy and Chase were not interested so I gave the leftovers to Nate! 🙂
In the meantime, my cowbunny pillow kept Kelly & I company while we sat in the living room… Not much else exciting today – tomorrow will be the day!
I am sharing Rod’s Palm Sunday message today from Martin’s Ferry. It’s all gonna be OK! There is HOPE! Through the rough times, scary times, God is with us. Prayer gets us through. We have a two-fold relationship connection. Horizontal – friend to friend, person to person. Vertical – person to God. Both are vitally important. Our fragile relationships were restored on Calvary. Within the family of God, expect to meet new people, make new friends, call new people ‘family’ – there are GOOD people out there. We have HOPE: Let the Holy Spirit turn the lights on. We don’t have to guess; we KNOW! We EXPECT heaven and eternal life, and have that blessed assurance. We are part of His inheritance – we belong to Him. God walks with us – It’s gonna be OK! He ended his message by sharing the story of Peyton climbing on their roof and spelling out a word in Christmas lights – after a long year of frustration and worry about his Mom and his Aunt Kim and their cancers and surgeries. And the neighbor that left a note in their mailbox, thanking them for their message of — HOPE. I admit I cried! But it’s gonna be OK!
