To Serve

 It was pretty chilly when we awoke with only 46 degrees outside.  The horses like this weather, it keeps the flies down and they are much more comfortable than when it is hot.  They DO have fur coats you know.  Today was Mark's last day to be quarantined for Covid. I went to church but just made sure to wear a mask the entire time there.  Mike Kaisner had the morning message on the 1st and 4th pillar while David had the afternoon message on the 2nd and 3rd pillars of our AC Church.  IT will be downloaded and posted here tomorrow. At lunch we had the special retirement party for David and Kathy Obergfel. 

The video below is a little long as I wanted to make sure to get it all.  

After church 4 of the families made it to our dinner. Only Ben and Taunya's family didn't come but they are on their way to Gulf Shores for a vacation now that school is out. Rhoda and Lee were first to arrive with Iris and Zeke.  Lee brought in Zeke while Rhoda took Iris for a walk to see all the horses.  Nolan arrived with Zion, Sarah stayed home with Eden and River.  Phil and Anna arrived with Braelyn, Taegan and Kensley and David and Stephanie arrived with Israel and Elisabet.  Our dinner of haystacks went over well as did the brownies for dessert. After the dinner the kids all made their way to the playground. The evening was cool but not windy and when the sun came out it was perfect for volleyball.  The grandkids, kids, parents and grandparents all had a good time visiting.  Even mom came out with her scooter and enjoyed watching the games. Below are a few pictures.

The video below is just some of the activities of the evening.

We so much enjoy Sunday's from the time we awake until we collapse in bed after telling each other "It was good, they all seemed to be enjoy themselves". It really is a blessing to be able to serve both at church and at home.
