A Blessed Sunday

Just a note to say what a blessed Sunday this has been. We went to Exeter Bible Chapel today where Jack speaks about twice a month on Sunday mornings. We have grown to love the people that attend there. Today there was a pot luck after church. This past Friday night there was a banquet held at the Chapel for Key Bible Clubs and there was a lot of food left over, so we all got to enjoy the leftovers. The fellowship is always better around food, especially when you don't have to prepare it. You also make all kinds of excuses for a fuller than normal plate of food, going up for seconds, trying more than one dessert.

I have made some wonderful friends and do enjoy working with them in the kitchen, laughing over the everyday things that come into our lives. It always seems to be easier and more fun to work in the kitchen at church with the other women than it is to work in my own kitchen, alone. Two of the women have grand daughters the same age as our Maddie (5 1/2) and we share the fun things they do and say. It seems these little girls are more mature now than we were at that age, more aware of what they will or won't wear, etc. What a delight they are to us. Isn't it amazing that as many friends as we each have, there is always room for another friend or two.

Two years ago this month we left Guelph. I had always been involved in the music aspect at church and loved it so much. I was begining to think that part of my life was over. Age and circumstances do change things. But I've been asked to play the piano for the morning service several times and this morning was one of the times. The Lord is good to us.

Tonight we went to the other Church we work with. It is in Stratford, Cornerstone Bible Fellowship. They had two of their men give a report on their trip to Africa. This church encourages their members to get actively involved in going and helping out on the mission field whenever they can. Since the first of the year 2 of their women have gone to Equador and 1 other woman has gone to Africa on mission trips. We truely are blessed to work with two churches that are growing and showing their love for the Lord in their lives.
