Month: April 2022

On Saturday, Doug and I awoke to this “good morning!”

That set up the weekend to be quite “love”LY! So of course the next day, I had a little surprise for her.

Doesn’t she look cute? Loved, she is definitely.

Today, Palm Sunday, she’ll be waving the palm branches in the CHAPEL. (this is the older crowd service and the kids are going to bring so much joy!)

She’s pretty excited! I want her to know that she is so loved that she can spill over now and love on others. (LIVE AS LOVED!)

They have more of a traditional service in the chapel. I love going there because this is where Doug and I got married. It’s such a bright and cheery environment.

Jesus our Savior reigns! He is the KING! Humbly riding in on a donkey as they sing, “HOSANNA!”

The congregation loved it!

We headed back to our service in the Sanctuary. Kevin Yule preached today about Jesus being our true Priest (from Hebrews 7).

With Jesus, we now can Draw Near To God, and may we not take this for granted.

Later that day, we celebrated Palm Sunday (and the launch of Holy Week) with these blocks (similar to the Advent Blocks we did at Christmas)

This was the first day. More to come as we head to Resurrection Sunday!

Open House, 3rd grade would present their character via being a WAX figure. They also had to make a panel display. She already wrote her essay! See a previous blog.

She was all dressed up and ready to shine!

Let’s see the WHOLE thing!

You look perfect, Patsy! (That is Martha’s nickname!)

We got there and she was all set up. Let’s take a look at the panels.

She would have a BLACK DOT on her hand, so when you came by, you push the button and she speaks! Here she is in action.

And here is her hubster. George! (played by Hayden)

And the couple at their finest.

So proud of you little TOT! You shined tonight.

She got a perfect score! Great job, TOT! Or should I say Martha!

She had to be at church at 6:45 am on Sunday morning so she could sing at all three services.

Four Songs. Pastel colors. Big smiles. Ready heart.

I ended up greeting sans Tot on Sunday (she was backstage), and boy did I get question?
Where’s the little one?; Where’s Tatum?; Missing your sidekick?…and on and on it went. I sure love talking to everyone though! So many wonderful new friends we have made just by greeting.

First song, there she is!

I Thank God

Then, Come Thou Fount with Above All Else

So beautiful and how animated she became!

Oh, dear…the next song. THE BLESSING…it always gets me, and it did Tot too!

(and daddy…we both wept)

The AMEN always makes me melt.

I reminded her how many people she’d be blessing; to get her eyes off herself when she felt tired! She heeded and really shined.

The last song:

King of Glory.

I”m so proud of you, Taties!

Later, swimming with Zoe.

What a wonderful day. Hay Happens that night was a celebration of LOVE and cultivating good habits. I love you family!
