It was a beautiful day! Started out with church at 11am – and my sweet friend April joined me for the service. It was wonderful to have her there and share something so special to me with her! So glad she came!
Nate’s family and Kelly’s family all came for dinner about 2pm. Autmn and Peyton both looked so grown up, I could scarcely believe it! It was fun to see Chrissy happy and laughing, and of course Logan and Chase immediately jumped on their gaming systems and I’ve barely seen them all day. Kelly, Logan and Chase are staying overnight to avoid driving home in the dark on Route 70. I’ll leave in the morning at 8am and they will probably leave about 9am.
We had a lovely dinner – tons of food! – and it was nice enough that several ate outside on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine. Ruth Ann made PEEPS fruit-kabobs and they were so cute – plus yummy! Jen’s mom Sherree helped Kelly and I clean up the dishes and food. Matt & Peyton and Ruth Ann left about 5pm, and Nate and Jen left at about 6:30pm.
Ron called me tonight and told me about his rookie trip in his Kayak (Katy) with his adventure buddy. Looks like a beautiful spot to take it out!
I will share Mike’s message from Hempfield – How much do we really believe Jesus? How important is it to trust Him with everything? Believing 1) starts with hearing – they didn’t understand. But we know when He speaks our name. 2) seeing – Jesus appeared through locked doors, and they SAW him. Locked doors don’t give you peace, or keep the Savior out! Jesus breathes on us with his Holy Spirit. 3) proving – Test it! Even if you can’t see it, you’ll know. The greater blessing comes from NOT seeing and yet believing. Without faith it is impossible to please God. 4) Trust. Be near to the heart of God. Trust doesn’t change circumstances – it changes us to meet the circumstances. We are SURE of our faith because of Him – we are created for heights; we rise above!
