A Blessed Day
We left the house at 7:55 am, stopped at Casey's and picked up the donuts then drove to church. Mark helped unload the 13 dozen then he drove to Schnucks to pick up the 4 dozen fried croissants while I organized the food. David and Stephanie brought Israel and Elisabet to help. Diane and Mike also came early to help and Rhonda arrived with Joan around 9:30 am. Randy and Kathy brought Nancy and she wanted to help too but Joan took her in to sing and then down to Sunday school. Gabe Stickling had the morning message on Judges 4 and 2 Thessalonians 3. To watch that click HERE. I took a couple pictures of the food once we had it out on the serving lines.
Today was invite a guest and I was a little worried about not having enough wraps but after lunch was over the only item I ran out of was potato chips. We had about 6 wraps left, a few of the croissants for the chicken salad, 1 cutie, 6 gogurts but plenty of chicken salad, ham, turkey and cheese. No one was going to starve. Dave Beutel had the afternoon message on the minor prophets. He spoke on Amos 7,8, and 9. Click HERE to watch that.
After church I ran to Sam's club to pick up 4 pizza's for Sunday supper and also served some of the leftover food. We celebrated Zion's birthday. After supper most of the adults went for a walk while the kids played both outside and inside. Below the second cousins, some of Ruth's grandkids, Spark's grandkids and our grandkids are playing football.
Spark built a campfire and we soon gravitated to that as the evening was chilly.
The fire was so nice that even when all the kids and grandkids left Spark and Rhonda along with Mark and I stayed to enjoy the fire. The coyotes started howling. If you listen to the video below you will hear them.
We finally decide it was time to turn in. What a blessed day. Sunday's really are special around here and I am so thankful to be here.
