The flight to Oklahoma went smoothly and we settled into life here quite seamlessly. Our granddaugter is in college so she is not even living at home any longer and their son was at school so we had the afternoon to visit and catch up with one another. Last night was their midweek church night. Amber, being a children’s pastor, was busy with her responsibilities. They have a celebrate recovery program so I was happy to attend it.

As their CR began I had someone come and put their arm around my shoulder. I quickly looked to see who this is to find it was their pastor. She asked me if I’d be willing to share my testimony with them? I hadn’t brought my written one not even thinking about sharing it. I’ve done it a couple of times in years past so it hadn’t crossed my mind. In a few quick moments I said I’d try. They were planning to have a video testimony and this would replace that. Well, Kathy said it was the best one I’ve ever done. If that were true it would only be due to God’s Holy Spirit.

I love coming here once a year. It is like being with our second family. All of our kids’ friends are like our extended family and they are so welcoming and fun. I took time this morning to thank God for His Gift of love He provides as we come each year. God is like that!
