A Great Sabbath

I found today a true blessing. It is a rare and special occasion when we are able to worship at church as a total family. My youngest son has a job that doesn't allow him to come to church on Sundays. The leisure industry is "on" when we are "off". Having worked a killer schedule on Saturday (14 hour day), he wasn't scheduled to go in to work until 1PM. A normal person would have rested and slept in after a such a grueling day. He is not a normal person. His love for God and to worship with the ones he truly loves at GFC  overcame his desire to sleep in. Our recent sharing/prayer time allowed us to catch up and pray for each others' needs. He is sharing his faith with his boss and my prayer is that his boss will return to that relationship with our Savior. I am very, very proud of my son.

The other blessing has been to see/hear my cousin-in-law and his wife share their hearts at our service today. I've known him since birth and am grateful for his mom who was instrumental in bringing him to Christ. He is now working for Campus Crusade for Christ in the NY-Metro area alongside his wife. God has blessed him with a great wife and helpmate. My prayers are for my other cousin-in-law who is struggling through the loss of her daughter (109 days of life and prayerfully eternity with my Father). I pray that she may accept God's sovereignty through this both for her daughter and for her as well.

The ministry update of our After-School and Community Center was necessary and essential. Well done!
