Saturday afternoon found me at a friend's house... a friend who very graciously offered me the use of her house to have a little picnic/party. The sweet thing about this friend is her mom and 6 sisters (yup - 6!) had been in Tennessee for the past 7 weeks, but chose to come home for two days for my little party. This mom is leaving tonight after church with her son to go back down to Tennessee. When she told me that she came home *just* for my party, I started to cry. Here is friendship expressed! I was very humbled and grateful that she came home.
The party was a chance for me to begin to say good-bye to my church family. It was very nice to be able to sit around talking with dearly loved saints and then to play volleyball as well:o). Although everyone couldn't come, I enjoyed my time with the ones who could!
This morning in church was very sweet too... my last Sunday morning service for a while. One lady (who is almost like the grandma-for-everyone-at-church) gave my mom some money to pass along to me. I dearly hope I'll be able to see her before I leave on Thursday. Another lady, who is the mom of a few of my students, and I had a wonderful opportunity to chit-chat for about 15 minutes. That was my "good-bye" to her, because I know I will not see everyone Wednesday night to say good-bye. A third good-bye was said to a man who used to have a store across from my house and now has cancer. Bro. W. is greatly loved by my family and has helped us so much over the years.
And now, another good-bye has to be said. I probably will have very little time to blog this week and so I'm closing out the posting on this blog. Thank you blog readers for encouraging me over the past 8 months... just to see all the blessings in black and white has shown me my Father truly does care about each step I take!!!
I will resume all posting at my other blog ~ From My Perspective ~ and really do hope that you will join me over there to keep up with all that takes place in Thailand. The Lord has done great things for me whereof I am glad!
