First of all Saturday was busy.
Sunday (I gave Jeff Wii Tiger Woods Golf for Fathers Day) we went to Jeff’s Dad’s Church for Father’s Day. Jeff’s Aunt Naomi was there, so of course she would be invited to the dinner we were having after church. We went home and had dinner and later Jason stopped by. I met Aunt Naomi at her son’s funeral in January of 2005. He died of cancer in his 30s. While she was at dinner we were talking about German food and she mentioned she had lived in Germany for a year because her husband was in the service. From this conversation I learned that her husband had been an alcoholic and that later after he was out of the service he died in a tragic accident. Now sbe has one grandson who lives with her. He is not living righteously, her son who died of cancer had not been living righteously. She mentioned on her way out the door that she would be more welcome at our house than at her daughter’s house. That is sad. Today I can pray for Aunt Naomi. I told Jeff she is welcome at our house any time. I hope we were a blessing to her yesterday.
Also on my mind are a couple from my old church whose son will not come to see them and they don’t know where he is. That is sad and I am praying for them. They did not deserve that.
It’s no wonder Paul said pray without ceasing, and we have it easy compared to him and the early church believers.
No matter what God is worthy of our praise and we were created to bring Him honor and glory.
