I can only Imagine

I am so tired tonight! This weekend has been draining both physically and emotionally, and i'ts only Saturday night. We spent Friday night and this morning at a Marriage retreat. I really enjoyed it and I hope Kenny and I can make good use of many of the ideas that we brought away with us. This was the first time in 14 years of marriage that we've done anything like this, and I really think it was a good thing. The Lord really spoke to both of us through Dale and Nori. I'm praying that we'll keep on trying to establish a Godly family.

This afternoon was so hard, but it was also a joy. One of my oldest and dearest friends' mother passed away this week and today was the funeral. What a joyous occasion! She was such a woman of faith that you couldn't help but rejoice because her body was finally whole again. And although we will miss her sweet presence we are confident that we'll all get to see her again in paradise. One thing about funeral is that they tend to bring people home. I was so overjoyed to see and old friend that I had let get away from me. We both shed tears of joy and laughter when we saw each other. Oh how sweet it was! I can only imagine how sweet the reunion we'll have in Heaven will be.

This evening we were honored by our pastor and his wife. They held a dinner for the church leadership, and it was such a lovely evening. The twins acted so well. I must say I was a proud mommy! How nice it was to be appreciated in such a lovely way.

Well, I suppose I should head to bed now so that I can be a fully functional part of church.
