What a great day yesterday was - in spite of the SNOW, most of the 'queens' for the day made it and all went well. I was a little frazzled with singing, but God was gracious in that as well and the song was fine. So many new servants for the day, and that was great to see! Just sitting with someone in my chair for a foot massage, and hearing the buzz of conversation with the other ladies was a blessing. The day goes by too fast. And I am always amazed at the detail of the day and how seamlessy things roll along. Thank you, Deborah and Carol, for your commitment to this day - and to so many who work tirelessly for it.
Came home last night (took a long time to go a mile, thanks to downed trees on our road!), snuggled up in the snow with a hot cup of tea and a movie, thankful for a warm, quiet house and all (family stayed out at Geneva to avoid nasty, late-night driving) - and the power went out around 8:30! So...I was in bed early and got a great night's sleep. We still are without power, and I am looking at it as 'forced downtime'. I suppose I need to be focusing on other things over the next 3 days or so than having everything at home the way I would like it before my surgery!
Tonight was humbling and I am so thankful. During our evening church service, it is a sharing/prayer time, usually of different themes as needed. Tonight, at the end, several elders and other leaders in the church (including my wonderful husband) circled around me to specifically pray over and for me. My nephew, Cliff, led the prayer which was especially precious to me. We are so blessed - in the midst of all of this, there is so much I am thankful for!
I don't even know how to begin to tell you all the things my heart is learning in this. In the midst of tears, there is 'a peace that passes all understanding' and I do feel my heart and mind guarded in Jesus Christ. (Philippians 4:7) Thank you, each and every one, for your love and prayers.
