BLESSED

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

Waiting, for most, is a grueling chore, and one that we all need to hone,

The rewards are great for those who persist and its results will soon be known.

Our Lord gives strength unbelievable, for those who will hear His voice,

At journey's end, and we obediently walked, we will know we made the right choice. (RP)

What a great time we had both at church and at home yesterday. I was honored to be asked to preach, and I always enjoy that. And most of all we were privileged to have our family in the service as well. At home our yearly Christmas brunch took place. With the capable help of Gina and her son Nathan, the final touches to the meal were in place and we began. Boy, it was delicious. Margie had worked hard, as usual, to make the event a success. Her baking is what puts the icing on the cake (or cinnamon rolls). Earlier I had prepared the bacon the way they all like it in flat strips with no curls or bulges. We had a wonderful time and once again we were blessed to be able to sponsor this yearly event, even at our age. Thanks for praying.
