Mid April Already!

Taxes are done...thank goodness, a week of sunshine is here, yahoo!, a huge funeral was completed today. Our church family served a delicious meal to about 75. Bible Study was canceled so that helped me, since we're studying Revelation and guess who is the teacher? So, tonight we have a bit of time to reflect on life. ha! We missed our water exercise class today due to the funeral, the second one missed in 4 weeks. Thank you Isoms for the treat. Paul and Emily celebrated Anniversary #8 yesterday, and we talked about Mom (Ivy) this week as the 12th would have been her 111th birthday. Such good memories we have. Kathy and Shanda both have birthdays...23rd and 24th so there is lots of celebrating. Kathy's parents are coming from ID. Benny is preaching eye witness sermons and people have been very positive. That makes for happy feelings. Have a great week...ours seem to be busy but happy. Blessings...

Easter

Maunday Thursday we attended a service at Marshfield Christian and were blessed both by the service and the congregation. Friday, the Ministers of Seymour were in charge of a Good Friday service held at the high school. It was well attended and the first ecumenical event like this in years. A singing group called "Higher Vision" added to the evening. Sunday, the Easter breakfast at FCC was delicious, (with strata, and all the breakfast goodies) plus a full house. Church went well with a happy spirit. A newly formed men's trio sang "Because He Lives" and Benny sang "The Holy City" at the end of his sermon. A little girl needed extra attention so half way through the service we went walking on the square. She had a wonderful one on one time with me and the wailing ceased immediately. Following church we had a birthday cake for one of the members who celebrated 80 years young. What a busy morning! Then the Benjie and Steve Boling gang came out and we had dinner, Easter Scavenger Basket hunt, and a beautiful afternoon. The sun was out all day so we could be in or outside and the acreage was covered! Ha!! Hope your day was an Easter blessing too.
