Sunday is here.

It was a little tiny bit warmer this morning. Another beautiful Lord's Day.

As always, God showed up at worship service this morning and brought quite a few new faces with Him. We haven't learned all the names yet, but we will. Worship leader, Frank Maguire, visits with Sharon & Tom. Today is Frank and Helen's last Sunday with us until late March. Frank is such a good worship leader and pianists that I was so into singing & worship that I forgot to take a picture of him at the piano. That makes me sad. Frank signals what we all feel and you will soon understand when our Christmas miracle is posted... to God be the glory. It is such a blessing to know the Maguires and we will always consider them friends. Don preached a good sermon this morning about resolutions with text from Colossians 3:9-10 & Daniel 1:1-24. Don's words were God's words and hearts were touched, including mine. After church, everyone pitches in and moves the chairs off the floor and putting the the cushions and hymnals away. This room is the Carnaval (not my spelling choice) where a lot of the activities take place during the week. Then we all meet in the Cantina across the breezeway for fellowship and coffee. Nancy Reid invited Don & I to eat lunch with she and George. We were delighted to join them. The Reid's are park Hosts. They are very helpful in helping people get set up at their sites when they arrive. George is very handy with hammer and saw and built Don a "cradle" for hauling propane tanks to be refilled. It's great for keeping the round tank from rolling around in the bed of the pickup. While George was finishing up helping new park residents parked, we soaked up some sun with Nancy and watched the sky for lift planes & sky divers. Spotted some planes, but could not see the divers from where we were.
Thanks to Nancy & George for precious Christian fellowship, hospitality and delicious tortilla soup and salad. They blessed our hearts. The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing, making a cookie recipe that Don saw Rachel Ray make, watching a hot air balloon and sky divers with the field glasses, visiting with neighbors, watching football and Hallmark movies on TV, reading blogs of family and friends and writing this blog.
I am so grateful that God has called us to this ministry. Where else could we meet so many wonderful people from some many different places.
