Mother’s Day
How did you spend your Mother’s Day? I had nursery duty at church today, which was actually pretty fun this time. The kids were so much fun. We let them color some construction paper and attached a poem to it with a packet of flower seeds and had them give this to their moms. They were so touched. I am not to bummed that I missed the service as our Pastor’s wife did the message, and it was what she preached on at our Ladies Retreat this weekend. We then went out for lunch at Rio Grand. I had a yummy steak and some tilapia, I had some left over so we got our doggie bag. The waitress came back and said there was a mishap and my plate got knocked off the counter, so they were going to make up another steak (I had about half of mine left), I told her that wasn’t necessary, so she said I could have a free dessert to go. The manager then came over and said that our bill would be adjusted, she took of $10! WoW!! My meal was only $15, so I got a great meal for $5 and free dessert to boot!!
The weekend retreat was amazing! It was a great bonding time for all the women! I feel so much closer to all the women now. On the way back to our cabin one of the gals and I saw a someone in our cabin and we both said at the same time, “Oh someone beat us back to the room”. We got there to find the door locked, so when we opened it up, Sherry said “Hey, who beat us back?” No one answered us, we kinda looked at each other with that look of concern. We said hello again and still no answer. I checked the back door, but that was locked, so they didn’t go out that way. She had a pocket knife in her purse, and I grabbed the iron, and we searched the cabin, to find no one, thankfully. So we deemed them our guardian angels. Everyone teased us as they thought we were a little crazy, but her and I both know what we saw.
We had a time of rest and renewal in the Lord, my time of “washing my hands” (symbolic of being washed in the blood of the Lamb) was an amazing experience, Pastor Judy prayed over me, and just confirmed all I had heard from God prior to me going up there for prayer. The scripture I pulled out of my “treasure box” confirmed everything yet again: “My heart has been sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and my body washed with pure water” Hebrews 10:22.
All through out the night I kept hearing “Be Still”, as this has been my theme scripture for the last few months. Just “be still and know He is God”. I was thinking about this, and started humming the song “Still” by Hillsong, and the next think I knew this song started playing, right before I went up for prayer. It was a God thing for sure.
