| CMA group picture they took in Arkansas when we were there for the 50th year Celebration in October. We are on the left side, where you see the van with the open door. We are about in the middle between the back and front of it. |

| We went to Evan’s Orchestra Concert today! He played percussion and went between about 5 instruments. We didn’t get a picture of him playing the cymbols but Melissa got these of the other instruments. He did an amazing job! |

| Melissa, Evan and Bruce We got ready for church, then headed to the first service. I went back to my Sunday School room and made sure everything I needed was out and ready. It was! Cassie always does a great job! I went back in the service and talked to some people until Bill came in after praying with pastor and it was time to start the service. Pastor Dan Dickenson gave the message. Worship was awesome and Debbie and Bill said the message on being Thankful was so good! I went into Sunday School and taught when we were dismissed. Marie was my helper and was a great one and Janet was shadowing today. She was a great help too. What a great class and an amazing lesson about Elijah hearing God’s still small voice. I went to prayer between service after parent’s picked up their kids. Debbie, Bev and Dave, Frances and I were all back praying. They prayed again for my upcoming surgery and for Debbie’s upcoming knee surgery. We went into the second service after that. I was happy to hear Pastor Dickenson preach. It was a great message! Bill and I prayed for people afterwards. I prayed for my neighbor Kim and Pastor had someone he wanted Bill to pray for. We talked with friends, then left as Kimmy, Jared, Adam and Eli, Vikki, Peyton, and Rehvyn were at our house for leftovers. Jared got all the food out for us and put it on the cupboard. Rody and Isaac got there. We all made plates up and heated them in the microwave. Once again, everything was delicious. We were all full! We started watching the Lion’s game. We were very happy when they went in the lead. Adam had to leave, and Bill and I had to go to Evan’s concert which was at 3. We met Melissa, Bruce and Hailey there. The concert was so good and Evan did a great job. Lydia played the clarinet and did a great job. The high school symphonic band played a group of movie songs from Beauty and the Beast, Disney, Lion King etc. that was amazing! Kimmy called me and said they were going to carry the outside nativity outside for us. A tree guy came to our house at 4 and we were still at the concert. Jared went outside and talked to him for Bill. You can always count on Jared. We had cake and lemonade after the concert. We got to meet Evan’s friend Lydia and her family. We enjoyed talking to them. Bill asked Melissa if she wanted a Mocha from Tim Horton’s on our way to her house and she did. We went there and the line moved pretty slow, but Melissa was happy when she got her Mocha. I didn’t get anything, because I am trying to drink more water before my surgery to stay hydrated. Kimmy called and said they were bringing the outside nativity pieces downstairs and putting them outside for us. They always go above and beyond. All of the pieces were outside by the stable when we got home, and Kimmy, Jared and Eli were gone. Jacob and Adam had left early since they drive themselves. I ate a piece of turkey and some cottage cheese when we got home. Eating protein too!!! Then I took my disinfecting shower. I relaxed after that and worked on my blog. Bill’s sister, Debbie called me and talked to me to let me know she would be praying for my surgery to go well and told me to tell Bill if he needs any help when I get home to call her. She was so sweet. Her daughter Amanda and her husband moved into their new home today. Debbie and Tom had gone down to help them. I slept really good last night, and didn’t have to move to a recliner. I sure hope that happens again tonight. |
