We had the joy of spending the day with our friends who had come from New Hampshire. Since we had a conference scheduled Monday evening, which meant we weren’t heading home Sunday, we had a free day.
It was a restful time, full of encouragement and fellowship in the Lord. In the morning, we had a wonderful time of worship, with special music from the S. Family, a time of prayer, and Dad gave a wonderful message on Elijah. I am blessed beyond measure to have a dad whose passion is to share Jesus and live for Him.
After lunch, the rain seemed to clear, so it was decided to go to the park for awhile. When we arrived, it began to rain, so we had to wait out the storm. The grass and playground were wet, but that really didn’t matter. Clothes wash. Children love playing at the park.
When we were done at the park, we went back to our friends’ hotel room. Dinner was barbecue plus other items such as chips, salad, and yes, even ice cream and cookies for dessert.
We then we went to God’s Word for our closure to the day. Family Bible time is one of our favorite times of the day, and when we have the treat of sharing it with another family, it makes it even more special.
We are grateful for the sacrifice our friends made to come to Pennsylvania. We were truly blessed!

Aww, the children are so sweet! 😀 You all really seemed to enjoy your times together which is great! What a joy to spend time with family’s with like-minded convictions! 😀 Wow, I can’t beleive that the ladies could put out such a lovely spread of food in a place like a hotel room! 😀 Very creative and organized way of doing things. 🙂 I am glad you were able to rest and to spend that time with them all! 😀
Blessings and Hugs!

Praying for all the people in OK, MO, KS during this terrible storm season. We know as in Minneapolis we have suffered a big hit too. May the Good Lord protect and prosper you!
Great pictures. In Canada we have been hearing of the tornadoes. I hope you are all safe. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of the Midwest.
