A Great Lord; Great Friends

Off to a wonderful worship service. I asked if our park residents would approach the park board to donate $100 for communion ware. The people at Ranchero might not want to lend us theirs anymore. Some of the people from Trail’s End said they would ask. After the service, a woman came up and said she would buy the trays if the park wouldn’t. That was certainly a gift from God. I can’t honestly say who the woman was but she will remember. I will contact her if the park refuses. We tried to take one of the accompanists for lunch, but she and her husband wanted to go to the brunch to support the park. We came home and called some friends about going for Chinese for lunch. We went with them and returned home. The man is working on a stained glass piece in the shape of a rooster for North Carolina. He thought he might not have it finished by the time we leave but might deliver it. That would be a great honor for us. We will see what happens. We came home and took naps and decided to take a walk. We stopped and made a plan to have lunch with Newcomers on the 21st. We also called and made tentative plans for lunch Tuesday with the accompanist but I want to change it to the evening because I have a coupon that is only good in the evening. While walking we encountered a couple who live close to us in NC and talked with them about an hour. They gave me a list of golf courses in the area that were reasonable in cost. We now have enough names to occupy me for three years. They plan to go fishing tomorrow and catch grouper. They will have a fish fry if successful and will invite us. We came home and got ready for Joe and Bonny to come for popcorn, beer and banana splits. We had a very good time with them. We played protestant poker and a game that they brought called “close the box”. It was a simple game but fun. We also talked about their going to Big Bend park with us in April. They talked as if they might do that if their calendars permitted it. That would be fun for both of us. We went to bed late, but really feeling the presence of the Lord. We always do when we talk about Jesus with Christian friends. We don’t do that enough. Often the topic of Jesus just doesn’t come up in our evenings of fun, but He should. We just get caught up in having worldly fun when spiritual fun is even better.
