I could feel the wind chill inside the house (or so it seemed) so I did the treadmill after I changed the bed sheets and threw them in the washer. Then I baked my scones and had that with hot tea for breakfast! I finished watching a movie that I had started last night – called Moondance Alexander. It was so good, and based on a true story.
I balanced my checkbook (oh, joy!), folded the clean sheets, and ordered a few photos through Walmart.com. I believe tomorrow that Autmn and I are going to work on her senior project a bit. She says she has a good bit started!
This evening I went to the wedding of my cousin Deb’s son Michael. Mike and Talya got married at The Country Stables, which was an amazing venue. The views were incredible. The barn doors on each side of the barn opened like the ones at the end of White Christmas, giving a full view out the back of the mountains. It was too cold for the wedding to be outside (original plan) but with the arch inside it was beautiful. The cake and the topper were unique, as were the centerpieces. Talya’s dress was beautiful – the girls (including the bride) wore white Clogs! Once the dancing began, the ring bearer Nicholas (Michael’s cousin) stole the spotlight! He wore dark glasses and carried an locking ‘briefcase’ to protect the rings! It was great to catch up with family and to watch everyone having a wonderful time! It’s a blessing to have a family-friendly event that everyone can enjoy.
I will share the Florida message today – Making Jesus Visible – by interim pastor Jim Capps. People should see Christ in US. There are three major ministry characteristics of Jesus. 1) He preached with passion. He knew His message was important. SHARE, don’t shove. 2) He taught with authority, simple but profound. To teach is to inform the mind; to preach is reaching the will. 3) He healed with compassion. Physical, emotional, spiritual. We can have forgiveness and be healed. We will realize our potential and make Jesus visible. That draws others to Him.
On this day in 1835 Hans Christian Anderson’s Fairy Tales were published. Birthdays: Harry Truman, 33rd president, was born in 1884; Ricky Nelson in 1940 (he was SO a favorite! I still have several vinyl albums!); Toni Tennille (Captain & Tennille) in 1940. She was also listed as a female Beach Boy!); and former football coach Bill Cowher in 1957. Eddy Arnold (one of the first albums I ever bought!) died at age 89 in 2008. In 1783 Betsy Ross married John Claypool.
TOMORROW May 9th is:
- National Lost Sock Memorial Day
- National Moscato Day
- National Butterscotch Brownie Day
- National Sleepover Day
- Mother’s Day
I think Butterscotch Brownie is an oxymoron. I need pure chocolate! Take time tomorrow to celebrate the mothers in your life — even if one of them is you! God bless!
