This morning was so fresh and beautiful when I stepped out to let the dog run a little. I considered bringing my coffee out on the deck to the bistro and drinking in some of the morning with my coffee, but knew I didn't have the time. It was a perfect 77 degrees when we started our trip over to Lower Brule, and the temperature climbed a little as we traveled. Wheat harvest has begun there, and the golden fields dotted with the bright gold bale nuggets caught our attention. 
We had more than usual in service this morning, and a mother and daughter came in for the first time. We appreciate the faithfulness of the people who come to worship with us. One of the neighboring churches is having a VBS; so some of our children were at that church today. We had a few children, though; and we like to give them personal attention when we can. We told the story about Jesus asking his disciple to go and catch a fish and take the coin from the fish's mouth to pay the temple tax for him and his disciples. A good discussion followed, and we felt like we were able to convey the lesson that God can hear us pray and help us anytime we need His help. The girls shared some personal stories that indicated they understood the concept. We came away satisfied and feeling like we had helped them learn an important lesson about the power of God.
A wasp came to visit us today, and Ray went to battle with a broom. Ha! The girls were afraid of the wasp, but enjoyed the broom and much drama was added. :)
What is inside a piano, anyway??
We truly enjoy this part of our week, and the opportunity that we get to mingle with the friendly people of Lower Brule. Thank you for your interest, and may God bless you. Please pray with us, as we have scheduled a short series of revival services with the Beechers in September.
Ha! Remember Grandpa's fly swatter on a stick? Maybe Dad needs to upgrade his broom!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, there's some interesting things inside a piano.
Dad mentioned Grandpa's fly swatter as soon as he picked up the broom. He said he thought he could do better with it. Ha! That took some practiced expertise!
