We started off with a wonderful song some of us knew and the rest learned.
Give thanks with a grateful heart.
Give thanks to the Holy One!
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ His Son! (Repeat)
And now let the weak say, “I am strong!”
Let the poor say, “I am rich!”
Because of what the Lord has done for us! (Repeat)
Give thanks!
Our prayers requests are included below this post - please remember to include these in your daily prayers.
Even though Anna was in pain with her back again, she and her husband came to our room early and decorated it beautifully with shells, fish, mermaids, and other sea creatures ;-) We also found drinks and ice waiting for us! Thank you Anna for your faithful commitment to your role as entertainment coordinator. We are saddened by your pain and sorry you weren't able to stay and enjoy the time with us.
The food choices were plentiful from shrimp cocktail, Swedish meatballs, finger sandwiches (tuna or ham), sausages (with mozzarella or spicy), sliced chicken fingers, deviled eggs with okra, red potato salad, nuts and the absolute winner of the night . . . Hibiscus hor d'oeuvres!!! Then, of course, we had dessert . . . the cake pictured above (whipped cream icing covering a marble cake with raspberry filling), brownies with nuts and huge strawberries dipped in chocolate.
Jane was able to join in the fun and festivities after she finished working at the book fair at her school. We are sorry you and Anna are not in our pictures ;-( We had a great time chatting and spent a LOT OF TIME LAUGHING!!! The "Women Journeying Through The Bible" really know how to enjoy themselves!!!
Next week we start at 6p.m. again and will watch Isaiah 9:10. BYOPSD's!!! (BRING your own popcorn / snacks / drinks) - whatever you would like!
Thank you Ladies for making this study another time of deepening our love and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for the questions asked, the knowledge shared, the testimonies given, the requests for prayer. Each night we spent together enriched all of us. I look forward to continuing our journey together. Eucharisteo!!! I am thankful for each and every one of you.
