I'm thankful for:
Strength for the day and for my wrists. I miscalculated the time it would take to complete some dictation, hence the typing rabbit in my previous post. However, I'm thankful for grace to complete the work and grace to learn from my mistake.
Our small group. We were blessed to host the meeting at our home last night. The meeting is normally at our pastor's home, but he's in Uganda and his wife will be joining him shortly. We had a smaller group than normal, but the fellowship was sweet. There were 2 grandparents with their grandson, a young couple in their late 20's, and a middle-aged single mom with her teenage daughter. Not a lot in common if you only looked at demographics, but Jesus Christ makes all the difference in the world.
Getting a glimpse of what God is doing in Uganda. Our pastor, Ryan Davidson, has been in Kampala, Uganda providing training in the theology of marriage/family and family counseling at the Gaba Bible Institute. His wife Christie is traveling today to join him and assist in the mercy ministry associated with the school. The Great Commission is still being carried out, even from Hampton to Uganda and to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Amen, Persis.
ReplyDeleteI am always encouraged by your expressions of gratitude!
I loved the bunny. I loved what you said about Jesus transcending demographics and I loved hearing about what God is doing in Uganda!
May the Lord bless you my dear friend and sister1
Praise God that your pastor has a heart to spread the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. I have my hands full right here in my neighborhood.

Have been reading you comments and decided to see where your link would lead. I'm glad I did! Beautiful reflections of your gratitude! And the bunny is precious!

What a blessing to host the small group in your home. Isn't God's family wonderful! Having people of all ages and backgrounds sharing in a common faith and unity.
ReplyDeleteGod bless your dear pastor and his wife in Uganda.
Blessings tonight Persis!
Thanks, sisters & brother. God is good, which is more than I deserve.
ReplyDelete@Ron: I think the Lord is using your blog to spread the Gospel in your own "backyard". Keep up the good work!
