Saturday, Tony mowed our jungle... I mean our yard. It's always nice to get that done for another week. :) That evening we visited a local nursing home to pray with some of the people there. We just walked the hall and went room by room, so long as they weren't asleep. My heart is always saddened, to think that some of them have been abandoned by their families and have very few visitors. And then to see how their health and their mind is failing. When asked if she had any specific prayer request, one sweet lady said "pray for all the sinners here in this nursing home. They need Jesus." When asked if she is able to speak with the people here about the gospel, she replied with enthusiasm - "All the time." To think how quickly time passes by, and that we are not even guaranteed our next breath is very humbling. The ladies that we prayed with that night were all very grateful. And so was I... grateful to God for so much!
Sunday morning we heard this powerful sermon regarding our sanctification. Theologian Wayne Grudem defines sanctification as "a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our actual lives." That evening I made a batch of ice cream sandwiches and we visited with my parents and brother Matthew. Fun. Fun.
Tony did not have work on Monday (yay!) so we took the boat out on a lake behind his brothers house. We had high hopes of catching some fish with live bait... but that didn't happen. :( I guess the fish had the day off too. We still had a great time!! And last night, my family came over for supper. We also opened up our "new" Yahtzee game. I put new in quotation marks because it was given to us as a wedding gift, which was three years ago, and we had never opened it. ;o
