Sunday, 4/28/24, The boys and I ate breakfast, went to church, Bill and I went to our prayer groups, Vikki, Peyton, and I were all in the same class today. After church, we met Sue and Doug and Ron to plan our Michigan CMA Rally

Me, Isaac, Rody, Vikki, Jack, Eli, and Peyton in church waiting for the service to start.  Bill took the picture
Adam, Jack, Milo and Eli...Nice the boys have friends at our church
Vikki took this of our class today...The kids sure know the answers to the questions before I can even finish asking them. 
Peyton and Goldie at church
Kimmy hung the dangle prism I got for her while we stopped at the Farm Market so Danielle and Joey could meet Rehvyn.  It looks so nice by her window.  I’m glad she let me give it to her.  She didn’t want to take it at first.  It made me so happy when she did.  

I got ready, then got the boys up to get ready and have breakfast.  They got up really good for staying up past Midnight.  We only had time for cereal, but they were so cute saying it was their favorite kinds and how they like coming here because they get their favorite things.  They wanted coffee too.  Jack had a little coffee in his creamer lol.

We went to church and they sat in the sanctuary while we went to prayer.  It was awesome prayer today.  We went in to the sanctuary and Vikki, Rody and the kids were in our row too.  Bill took a picture.  The couple behind us asked us if we wanted them to be part of our family and be in it.  They are a really sweet couple.  Worship was really good.  We went back to Sunday school after class.  Cassie, who is over the children’s ministry, was in a wedding yesterday, so we had lots of firsts.  No lesson and activity sheets on the counter, 
(I had problems running off the lesson last night and almost gave up, but decided to try a couple of more times and was successful). It was a good thing or I wouldn’t have had a lesson to go by.  We were going to watch the video of the big Story, and the tv wouldn’t work.  Joan happened to come in to check on it and it was unplugged.  Then the story started and the kids said they had seen that one.  I went back and it was the right date and the right video that went with the lesson.  At the end the activity was to make shakers that the kids to shake and remember to be brave like Paul.  They had to cut their paper in half, then they all needed help with folding it over the end of the paper towel holder and taping it securely.  Then they had to roll up some foil in a ball.  They had given us sheets that would have been way too big to fit in the paper towel holder, so I quick ripped them in to smaller sizes.  Then we were supposed to mix the rice and the beans, but there was no container to mix them in.  I finally found a jar in the cupboard.  We had to pour some in each kids paper towel holder which took time.  Then we had to help them put the paper over the other end and tape it securely.  We had four of us helping.  We got the notice that we had five more minutes.  Our other pastor, Pastor Dan, gave the message and finished a half hour early.  Yikes.  We finished but sure had to fit a lot in that short amount of time.  We all said, Wow, the Holy Spirit sure helped us.  I was praying last night and this morning for the Holy Spirit’s help.  So thankful He was there for us.  I sure had a great team of helpers.  We visited after church for a while and the boys hung out with their friends.  We came home and I put a pizza in the oven for the boys (their choice).  They were sweet and gave compliments on the pizza being so good.  It was only an Aldi’s large Take Home pizza.  No wonder I love having them around.  They went outside to hang out.  Bill and I took a 30 minute nap, then we had to leave for Okemus to meet at Lucky’s with friends Ron, Sue and Doug to plan the CMA State Rally.  Bev couldn’t come because she has been really sick with a cough, sore throat and congestion.  We prayed for her.  She did send some notes with good suggestions.  We had great meals.  I brought 2/3’s of my Chicken Alfredo home so will get at least two more meals out of it.  Bill ate his whole perch dinner.  I was happy when Kenzie face timed me so I could see Rehvyn and talk to him.  He sure does pay attention.  Kenzie is always fun to talk to too.  Sure do love my family.  Bill worked on the funeral he has to do tomorrow for Butch from church.  I proof read it for him.  I worked on my Blog.  We relaxed the rest of the night.  It has been a busy week.
