I sit here basking in the afterglow of my morning coffee. Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla. Ahhh. It is much needed and wanted on a cold October morning such as this. Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day too. We had an amazing time at church yesterday. Are you sick of hearing me say that because I am not sick of saying it?
We had our communion service. We usually do that about once a quarter and we try to make it a very special and sacred time. I think we achieved that yesterday. The only glitch was we were missing some cords for our new soundboard which kept us from actually using it. So we did the service unplugged.
I'm looking forward to being with my life group this week. We have had about a two week furlough because of my surgery. Which, btw, my mouth is doing much better, so thanks for asking. Had a moler removed and a fibrosia on my lip removed. All seems to be well, and I have resumed my eating again. I lived on pudding, mashed potatoes, jello and ice cream for a few days. Tonight I will be eating steak off the grill. Can't wait.
I just put some new pictures of Emma and Anna in some frames. They had their pics taken at school a few weeks ago. I cannot believe how much they both have grown. It is scary to see the time fly like this. They are both so beautiful.
I picked up some pumpkins for the kids on Saturday. Emma was sick and Anna didn't want to go so it was up to me to get them. They both painted some faces on theirs and we will carve the big one on Halloween. We are going to roast the seeds and eat them after too. Yes.
God has been so gracious to Riverstone Church. Every week we have new people who visit our church. I would not be surprised at all if we have had about 300 people come through our doors and check us out since we launched. Most of them were well wishing Christians from other churches. That's cool. But we are still reaching out to the unchurched and de-churched. I love it when they connect with us and God.
We are doing the Thanksgiving baskets again this year and it is most definitely running smoother since Bonnie Gobin has taken over. We are collecting as much as we can to give the baskets away to families in our community. Last year we gave out nine and I hope we can do double that this year. A lot of food has come in so far. It is going to be awesome to bless families that cannot afford a Thanksgiving meal. And we go all out too, they get everything for the meal. Plus we put it all in a laundry basket so they can continue to use those.
