TUESDAY, 12/29/09
Pray for Bea Unrue as she is having surgery today. My brother Eddie is also having surgery today. The funeral service for Callie Reynolds is this afternoon so pray for Earl & Hilda and the entire family. I assume that Miss Vivian is about the same. Miss Kathleen Henderson remains hospitalized. Pray for these folks.
Southern hospitality! We hear about it often but “hospitality” isn’t limited to the South. Lisa & I, along with our family, have experienced it many times over in Michigan and have often talked about how great those folks are at extending hospitality.
Now, we are experiencing that same “hospitality” in Canada. Mark, Tina, Rachel, Miriam, & Ben Mast have overwhelmed us with their genuine hospitality in these first few hours of being here. We had an awesome supper last night and are about to enjoy a wonderful breakfast. (Stoked eggs & all!) Mark & Tina graciously gave Lisa & me their bed. (I even used Mark’s toothbrush this morning but I don’t think he knows about that!)
The Bible mentions “given to hospitality” and the Mast family definitely have that gift. So, we say “thank you” up front to them for being such gracious hosts & hostesses.
It reached -13 degrees last night and is presently -10. Mark, Soy, and the others have gone outside already and watched boiling water vaporize in the air and bubbles wrinkle in the cold.
Gotta go as Mark has a full day planned. It will culminate with a fellowship meal with friends who are involved with GRACE Ministries. We are looking forward to today’s activities.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
