Where have you seen God at work this past week?
Kari – I just found out this morning that my niece, Clare who is 15, is being Confirmed today at her Presbyterian Church. This is back in Kentucky. So, very exciting, I didn’t even know she was going through Confirmation until my brother told me I could watch it online this morning. So, I’m very happy that she’s completed this.
Jan – I just wanted to share that this morning is a miracle. Because, I woke up late and looked at my watch and I said no way, there’s no way I can get there in time... Well, I had this Nudge; and I thought is God alive or not? So, I jumped out, got in the shower & did my hair; I’m here early! I couldn’t believe it – I have never been here this early!
Susan W. – As many of you know, Jerry had a pretty serious surgery this week on Wednesday. I’m a very firm believer in the power of prayer. The power of prayer, once again, came to our assistance. His surgery went unbelievably well. The doctors were absolutely amazed at how well he did. In the surgery, they said this is probably the first time they’ve done this where there was only one little, minor glitch. They put him in the hospital overnight; usually people that have this surgery stay more than one night. He stayed one night and the next day the doctor says – you look great, your healing just fine; you can go home! So, he came home on Thursday and he’s doing extremely well; not liking the fact that he can’t go out and do some painting. But, dog-gone-it sometimes we have to sacrifice. But, he is doing well and thank you everybody for the prayers. It was a true blessing from God.
Marianne – I saw a beautiful rainbow yesterday. Rainbows always make me think of God; I thank God for rainbows – I love rainbows! And I thank God for pumpkin spice. It’s pumpkin spice season & I love pumpkin spice! Fred got me some pumpkin eggnog this week & it is so good! So, look for pumpkin eggnog at the store. Fred even likes it; he doesn’t like eggnog.
Martha – Two things: 1) Jan, there are some mornings that I am just grateful to get up at all. 2) Ada, our granddaughter, is here and even though she wasn’t very talkative this morning, which is unusual, it was a God Blessing to have her spend the night with us last night and be able to snuggle and cuddle. She’s been tested for Covid because of her preschool, and she was negative, so we know that she’s safe. It was a blessing to have her; we hope everybody has a good week – a smokeless week! We’re giving up smoking this week.
Pastor Brett – One of my God Sightings this week was - Levi is going to be 8 weeks tomorrow and he is starting to make sounds to try to engage and to talk. This happened last week during the service and Janelle told me when I got offline. She said – I had a conversation with Levi during the service! I said - what do you mean? She said – well I was looking at him and I was talking to him & he said - Goo. So, I said - Goo back. Then he said – Goo. And they had a little conversation. So, I’ve been testing that out this week and I’m happy to report that he is starting to make those sounds and to make those initial language sounds and smiling. For some reason, in my mind, I thought this happened at about 8 months not 8 weeks. So, I’m just delighted to start to get that engagement with him; this has lifted my spirit which I definitely needed this last 2 weeks. So, Praise God!
