Sunday, 5/17/26, Our Nation Redicated to God! Yay! Bill and I went to church, Stacie came over, went to Jack and Evan’s concert, fish pond lost water somehow,

When I got home from church, I went out to feed the fish and saw that their bond was half empty.  They only had water in the lower part and the bubbler was working.  I sure would like to know what happened.  I filled it and it has stayed full since then.  So weird.  

Pretty Calceolaria Stacie brought me today.  Can’t wait to plant it outside!  Thank you Stacie!

Hailey and I at Tony’s after we left the concert.  We had so much fun!

We went to the first service at church.  It was hard for Bill walking but he made it.  We sat in the back row agains the wall.  Lots of people came and said hi to Bill and prayed over him.  So many wonderful friends at church.  The worship was awesome.  I went up to the altar and worshipped, but Bill couldn’t;t do that today like he usually does.  Pastor gave a great message.  I went up to pray for people after the service was over.  A couple came up for prayer for the guy, Andrew’s, grandma, Dorothy.  We felt God’s presence while we were praying together.  The Holy Spirit is moving in such an amazing way.  We need the Holy Spirit to move in our church and it’s happening.  

We talked to people on our way out of church, and Bill finally said he had to get out to the car because he was in pain.  He was walking much straighter than he had been.  

I went out to feed the fish, and saw the fish pond was over half empty.  I started filling it right away and called Kimmy and Jared to see if I should put the fish back in the basement.  

We decided I should just watch the water level and see what happens.  Well, it never lost water again.  We got a thunderstorm in the evening and an inch more of rain was added to the pond.  

I sat outside for a while on the swing.  Lots of birds were eating.  Stacie texted me to see if she could come over.  I checked with Bill to see if he felt up to company.  At first he said no, then he changed his mind and said yes.  She came and we had a great visit.  She brought me a beautiful plant for Mother's Day.  So sweet of her. I had to get ready and leave to go to Jack and Evan’s concert, so she left.  I got to the Messiah Church just as Melissa, Bruce, Hailey, Jack, Evan, Debbie and Ron got there.  Good timing.  They had drinks they got at the Church Cafe.  I went and got an Ice cap, but instead of it being cold it was hot.  It was still good, so I didn’t tell them they made a mistake.  They were pretty busy serving people.  

The concert was amazing and the boys and Lydia did such a great job.  All of the kids did!  

Debbie and Ron left after the boys were done and the other band started.  They were heading to Georgia from her.  When it was over I left.  Then I got a call just as I had got out of the parking lot and Hailey was so hungry and wanted to know if I could take her home because they had to take Jack back to his school.  I was happy to turn and go back in the parking lot and get Hailey.  We went to Tony’s and she had pancakes and fries and I had a burger and fries.  I brought home a burger and fries to Bill.  

We ate, then watched Freedom 250...America being rededicated to the Lord.  Praise God for what He is doing in our Nation.  Humbling ourselves and praying to God for our Nation.  

We acknowledge we are totally dependent on the Lord.  Without him we can do nothing the Bible says.  

So exciting.  We couldn’t finish it and will continue watching tomorrow.
