Well, as you can imagine, we had a wonderful Easter weekend. To God be the glory! Our Sunday morning services were well attended with the middle service being our largest numerically. We were thankful to have Linda Thomas join the Friendship family on statement during our first service. She has been faithful to attend in recent months and we give God the glory for the increase.
One of the joys of Easter Sunday is for me to see folks from years gone by who come home that day. Yesterday was no exception. I will not call names because I would invariably leave someone out. However, it is always a pleasure to see these folks.
I have to say a special “thank you” to the choir members who sang in all three services, to Jeanette and Tena for doing extra duty on the instruments, to Randall, Rita & Lynda for bringing the message in song in all three services and to Bro. Jerry, Bro. Kerry and Bro. Chris for being involved in all three of the services. As a matter of fact, I have given Bro. Jerry, Bro. Kerry & Bro. Chris today off because of the extra these past couple of days.
No major changes in anyone’s situation for whom we have been praying. Brenda Timberlake told me yesterday that her sister, Lisa, has been real sick following her latest round of chemo. Ditto for Becky Sellers. Pray for these ladies.
I did learn yesterday that Faron Steiner has been moved from Birmingham to a Mobile hospital. That is a step in the right direction and will allow the family to visit her much more easily.
God sent us a wonderful rain during the night. My garden said “thank you” even though I have been watering it. Nothing like a good rain for the plants.
I do not bet. Never have and never will. Why? UK vs UW would be exhibit #1! I could not believe that the Wildcats got beat as I was convinced they could only be beaten by their second team. I feel bad for the number one UK fan I know, Mark Timberlake. It looks as though the number one Duke fan I know, Zach Huhn, will be celebrating later tonight. Time will tell.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
