It has been a while since I've blogged; and we have traveled many miles. From Florida to Kentucky to Wisconsin to Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, back to Kentucky, Florida (we attended our national convention in Orlando and stayed at our cottage), Ohio, and Wisconsin.
The days have gone by so fast since leaving Florida in August let alone April!!! We have been busy, but it has all be good. Our car has kept us going with a few repairs, and we did take vacation in June & July to go camping and fishing plus attend Bible camp.
We have had many opportunities to be with our sons and their families and with our extended family. There have been breakfast dates with friends and lots of conversation over coffee.
We have ministered in many churches: seeing friends from previous times and meeting new ones. It's always great to be at a church a second or third time; catching up with the pastor & family and seeing church folk again. But when we preach at a church for the first time it amazes me (but it shouldn't really) that we can "fall in love" with them so quickly. As if we knew them and were making up for lost time.
For instance: on our way to Florida at the end of July we preached at a church in Kentucky. We had never met the pastor or his wife or preached at their church. Immediately upon meeting them we felt welcome. We stayed with them in their home and enjoyed the fellowship. It was great; even though we had just met. Their home was warm and welcoming. The church folk were no different, everyone made us feel so welcome.
To say the least, we are truly blessed in the life we are living right now. As someone told me not too long ago, "the best place to be is in the Will of God". And I agree...it's not an easy place sometimes, but it is the best and safest place to be.
