Sunday afternoon

After a busy morning, I joined with some of the men in an Elders/Deacons meeting. Because I got home later than normal, I was ready for lunch. Diane had prepared some meatloaf according to a new recipe. It was yummy and Esther even shared with us some of her baby peas. Now it is down time before evening service. The weather outside is cool (Diane would say cold), the house is warm, I am full and God is to be praised for many daily blessings. Today a mother with two school aged kids came to services. She requested prayer on her registration card for her husband to return to church aand serve the Lord again. There is a story there to be explored... but I can't help reflect on the saddness in those words. I don't know the history, but I wonder what could be better than being with your wife and kids. Unfortunately, I have heard the story before from others... how sad.
