Happy Anniversary!
Today is my parents anniversary. 57 years ago, they began a journey together in which they're still progressing. Happy Anniversary, Bob and Marilyn Smith!!
Lessons of Trust
As promised, here are a few of the lessons learned after the challenges wrought in the experience on Thursday night's Living Last Supper: When we do something intentionally to God's glory, He receives the glory and protects us. Continue to put trust in God alone. As we trust God, if an outside organization desires access to the church, one must perform due diligence to verify who they are and what they intend to do. If there is no time to perform due diligence, then the offer remains unaccepted. The farther away an interviewer/videographer lives, the more due diligence is required. Interviewers or videographers rarely (if ever) pay you to do their work. If sufficient due diligence is performed, review ALL waivers before signing or making them available for signatures. If after due diligence, a group is allowed on site, increase security to ensure the group behaves as promised. And, the oldest lesson of all: people may not do what you expect them to do, but they will do what you
Comments
especially with Robert N. : )
It is my prayer that your parents have many, many more happy years together. God, in His grace and wisdom, had a plan for Dale and me....for which we praise Him. We are deeply and truly in love which is an amazing blessing neither of us were seeking or expecting. But we both will always cherish, remember and honor our first love.
When you talk with your parents next, remind them that we never know what a day may hold and to always, always cherish each moment they have together. And you and Sherry do the same. Only God knows when that last moment may come.
With love,
Joyce Lewis
