Well I just saw this thread today! How neat!
What did I do today? I got up at about 8:30 this morning, spent about 45 minutes getting ready for church.
Drove to church about twenty till ten, got inside only to find the heating unit over the area my sunday school class meets was out, so we met in the auditorum with pastor and the adult class. Before Sunday school started, I helped one of the ladies rescue our dying poinsettia plants from the auditorium. Seems they got too hot and were starting to wilt!
Pastor and Miss Joyce (his wife) just got back from Duke were she's had a week of tests run. The news was kinda good, kinda bad. The results being without a trasplant she will not live. They need to fix something else medicaly wrong with her, then they want to put her on the active transplant list which means pastor and miss Joyce have to stay at least two hours from were the operation will be done, so once they get all that worked out, poor pastor and miss Joyce will have to drive about three hours for church services. Thankfully her insurance will cover the biggest part of their medical expenses, so that is a HUGE blessing. The church stands behind them 100% so whatever the Lord decides, we all will be standing with them on it.
The wonderful thing about the service was that two people got saved this morning! Boy were we all excited!
Before I left, I bought a book, Bible, and tape as Christmas gifts from our church bookstore, and nearly killed my friend Codey. Well ok, so I didn't kill him, but we usualy come pretty close. We joke that no one makes us mader than each other! I believe the reason we were upset was because he blamed me for a shelf of tapes collapsing...and I never even touched it!
Go figure! LOL we were speaking again tonight, but I declair it's a miracle that we are still living, cause we've picked and argued over dumb stuff like this since were six! (LOL, and I'm sure as long as we know each other, we'll keep on fighting! Something about our personalities just dosn't go together!)I got home, and watched the news about Saddam being caught (and praised God about it too!) and ate dinner with my grandparents. My grandpa and I sat by the woodstove and talked and joked for awhile.
I then wrapped some Christmas presents for about two hours. My dad dropped in to bring my brother home from his house, and we sat around talking. (I probably havn't sat and talked with my dad since who knows how long.)
Then I heated up left overs, ate it for supper, played some hymns and Christmas carols on piano, fixed my hair and drove to church. It was about twenty till five when I left.
Got to chruch, sat and talked with my friend Summer and her family before service started. (Summer goes to school with me, got saved a few weeks back and has been coming to church with her family since! Praise God!)
Went and sat with my friend Heather and her family for service. Oh, pastor's messege was SOOO good tonight! I really enjoyed it! It was on "The Gifts of God."
Then we gathered at the Lord's Table for Communion. Two of the little girls sat beside me, and since they aren't saved yet, they of course can't partake in the supper, but they didn't understand why I got "a cookie and red stuff" and they didn't. After I told them why, they just shrugged (they're like five) and then asked if the "red stuff" I had was "real blood." Oh mercy! It was certianly interesting to see Communion from their eyes!
After that choir practiced, and then we got the little ones together to practice their songs for next week. We seem to be having a problem getting them to actualy SING the words to the songs! I hope everything goes ok this week!
After that I left, got home, took a bath, practiced my song for next Sunday, read the Bible to my family, and I've been reading stuff on the BB since.
Well this has been an epistle I know, but this was my day! I hope everyone else has a great week!
