Last Saturday, we celebrated Janice's 60th birthday at Garfield's. She still looks pretty, doesn't she? From left to right in the picture below is Bill, me, Mom, Noel, Janice and Bailey. Mark is peeping from behind.
Yesterday, we continued our study of Christmas in Bible Study. We also celebrated Leo's 75th birthday. He's so sweet, and really misses his wife during the holiday season. During worship, the choir sang one number from our musical. After the service, we enjoyed a beautiful potluck dinner in the fellowship hall. The chuch provided ham and turkey. The choir ate first so that we could practice. Having practiced at our house on Friday was really beneficial. Our friend, Randal made risers for the men to stand behind the women. He did a great job. We also got to watch Jessica practice her Irish dance to "What Child Is This". Our church is so blessed!!
We had a great time at our choir potluck on Friday. Twenty-three people came. I baked a strawberry cake and made raspberry punch with sherbet and ginger-ale. This year, after we ate and practiced, we exchanged gifts. I got an angel ornament, and Bill got a nativity snow globe that plays "Silent Night". While we were cleaning up, I noticed two little birds on an end table that said, "Joy" and "Peace". Later, I learned that Lorna had left them for us and wanted to be anonymous. That sounds just like her! She is a role model of Christianity. She is so humble and always looking out for other people.
The 3 Ks are all doing well. They are all busy with Christmas! Kevin will graduate from Trinity Seminary in Chicago next week. It has been a long haul due to pastoring full-time and having 3 babies in the process. Kevin is a former Marine and knows how to work. He is also a very humble person who puts others before himself. God really honors humility. I'm still working on mine.
