I LOVE Sunday mornings at Riverside Community Church (RCC)!!! Today was no exception!! We’ve been so fortunate to be a part of RCC since day one. We helped start this church and it continues to do amazing things in Peoria for the Lord.
Here is a picture from today’s time of worship.
After church service, I visited “City Church” in Pekin. They had a few cool cars outside….cookout….fun/games for the kids…..and, a few other outside fun things! My son-in-law Russell was in the dunk tank and I made sure he got wet! I made him put his ball cap over his eyes so he couldn’t see when the ball was going to hit the target to release the drop arm. You’re welcome Russell!!!!!
Look closely in the tank. There is a window at the front and you can see Russell’s feet in there!!! (click photo to see it better)
Later, we celebrated my Great-nephew’s 7th Birthday. Logan is the kindest and sweetest little guy! He laughs and giggles. Due to autism, he’s mostly non-verbal. He loves so freely and without judgement or reservation. He lives every day with such joy! Today, we all watched him as he’d swing on or slide down his new swing set that was put together last week. He was just glowing with joy today as we were all watching him play. He is such a joy to watch play.
Late afternoon, I watered the grass at the cemetery. I noticed that there is a “green patch” at the cemetery where we’ve been maintaining. Oh, such a sermon there….but, I’ll not go into that here! hehehe When I was watering the grass, I noticed that there were 2 trains in the background passing through. It reminded me of some of my earlier years with my dad. He had a train set that was downstairs. He and I would go down there and I would watch him control the speed of the trains. He even cut a hole midway through the board where I could “pop up” through and get closer to see the trains. Today, once again…..I was reminded of many good times that I had with dad. What a lucky kid I was to have a dad that cared so much about me that he’d build a train set so that he and I could spend time together.
Notice a green spot there?
There go the trains!
Jesus is “the good shepherd”. John 10:11 ““I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
Gotta go!
Time for rest!!! hehehehee
What a great day today was!
