Hi Pastor John
Last week I saw my friend Joellen. I was telling her about the OT class and how much I enjoyed it. I was explaining how I liked learning about the people in the bible. To get to know them, their lives and then how you can relate to their stories. Feel sad at their tragedy’s and happy for their blessings. Then tonight I was listening and you made a comment “I’m looking forward to meeting them”. I just had to pause and stop about that for a minute. When we get to our wonderful new home we will get to meet all of those saints! Wow………that is really a neat thing.
Another thought……..dad and I were talking about the Lord this weekend and I told him how amazing it is to learn how Jesus was all in the old testament but hidden (something neither one of us knew until we met you). We talked about how God was preparing a better way. You know during that process there were some hard, tough and troubling times but through it all God was there guiding His people, always guiding them to a better way………..a better place. I thought about that on my drive home how in our lives sometimes it gets hard, situations get tough and there are some heartaches………..but if we stay right there with God it’s always guiding us to a better way………a better place. That was just real good to me.
I’m so happy we’ll get to see some of you this weekend!
