October 17 - “Waco Weekend”

We continued our full Waco weekend by heading to church to worship and hear Josh preach. He did a great job, of course. Key point: your perspective matters.

 

After the service we went up some stairs to one of the Sunday School rooms. Caleb sang there with an ensemble of other teenagers (3 girls and 2 guys).  It was their first time singing “in public.”  They were really good. I think they’ll get other gigs real soon.

 

After saying our goodbyes, we hustled out of there and to the car.  A cold front was just reaching the area, so we wanted to get in front of it. We did get wet hurrying to the car, but for the most part we stayed on the front edge of the storm. Like most places we have been over the last three weeks, Waco needs the rain, so we were happy for them.

 

On the way home, we listened to the service at Seaside through the miracle of modern Facebook Live. We were kind of sad to be missing out on dinner on the grounds, so we decided to splurge one last time and stop at Cracker Barrel for lunch.

 

We were met at the house by our neighbors Corey and Janell and Brennan. They helped us unload the car. Freddy was home already, so we had her excited greetings as well. Great to be home.

 

2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

 

Father, please grant Caleb and those kids who sang with him all the encouragement they need to keep singing for you. Amen.
