5/25/14

I was so blessed to be able to serve again as Communion Assistant alongside two extraordinary women and watch as my son asked and stepped up to be an usher.  Although I made errors, it IS what I needed this morning.  Pastor Mary is the only person I can honestly say can make sense of any part of the Bible to me.  No matter what she preaches on, she makes it relate to every day issues of this century.  Today, was once again not only a remarkable Sermon, it was a reminder of just how down to Earth and human she really is.  Thank you for showing everyone just how vulnerable you are and how even in times in your life you need to see reminders.  Thank you!!!

I do not know if I will ever be able to fully explain the feelings that go through me not only being in church, serving our Lord, but standing up, reading prayers and Bible readings with minimal mistakes. As Pastor Mary said last Monday to me... it's amazing how much I have changed in two years, even just one year..... I recall reading the Advent prayer to Mackenzie while hiding so I was not in view.... Its amazing what encouragement and support can do.  Thank you!!

As this weekend ends, I once again want to thank those who have worked and are working to keep us safe and to provide us with the Freedoms we have.  

Dear Heavenly Father,

My wish is that every Veteran feels the support and gratitude they so deeply deserve especially this weekend. Much like Mother's Day and Father's Day... I truly believe that we need to thank those in uniform everyday. Please provide safety and shelter to all those who are protecting us.

Amen
