Weekend Relaxation

Friday, Bill and I saw the movie, "Persecuted".  Everyone should see that movie.  It is not fiction! 
There is so much stuff going on in the Obama administration that disrespects Christian views.  I watched the news on NBC and was in shock when they tried to pin the present conflict in the Middle East on Israel.  People there have been running from the missiles lobbed by the Palestinians for months.  People in the know are also aware that Hammas uses women and children as shields.  At least Israel warns the people in Gaza for 48 hours before they strike.  I believe that God will protect Israel and that in the end they will be saved.  However, they will have to endure much suffering for their sin.

Saturday Morning, I took Mom to Farmers Market.  We bought okra to eat with fresh tomatoes from her garden.  She also bought some purple beans that I had never seen before, but she just loves.  I feel so blessed to have so many fresh vegetables and fruit in my house!

Friday afternoon, Bill and I drove to Norman to use the Out Back gift card from Keri and Kevin.  Bill ordered ribs and I had grilled chicken.  We also went to Wal-Mart and bought a new fern plant for our front porch, and some stain for the new stool I bought for the kitchen.  I want to sit when I'm chopping and mixing.

We are enjoying our beautiful new bathtub with built-in shelving at both ends.  It looks so clean and new!

Today, we went to church with Mom at First Baptist, Tecumseh.  A family of 5 joined the church this morning, and 5 youth who had gone to Falls Creek made decisions for Christ.  The music was well done, and Bill and I felt like we were on vacation.  We are praying and searching for God to make His purpose known in our lives.  We just want to be a support system and not take full time jobs in the church.

After church, we took Mom to Bamboo Garden for lunch.  We saw several friends there and enjoyed the food.  It has been a relaxing day.  God knew we needed a day like this one!
