Dinner with our Pastor
We had a really good time last night at our Pastor's house. The kids went to day care and they told us they were going to have corn dogs, corn, and pudding for dinner and they'd play and watch a movie. The kids were so excited! When we got to our Pastor's house we were nervous. We didn't know who'd be there or what to expect. He's got a very nice home and a wonderful family. He's so down to earth. We filled out little name tags. Charles' name tag read, "Char les." Sorry Babe. I was holding my hand bag on my arm as I was writing and my handbag slid down and made me put a space between your name. LOL. It's was really funny though. A good ice breaker, eh?! I thought so anyway. We stood around looking nervous. Then, this elderly couple started talking to us. What a relief! After that it was pretty smooth sailing. They had some really good food. We ate, lasagna, green beans, croissants, baked chicken and a yummy salad. For dessert we had brownie cake and strawberries (they had the most beautiful, sweetest strawberries. They must have paid an arm and a leg for them at this time of year.) After we ate dinner he handed out a booklet about what our Church is all about and what we believe in. We went through all of it and listened as he explained his background about himself and then told us how our church was when he arrived years ago. I am thankful that he's our Pastor. Let me share "Our Position" as a Church (which I think says it all...)
"For now we are all children of God though faith in Jesus Christ, and we who have been baptized into union with Christ are enveloped by Him. We are no longer Jews or Gentiles, or slaves or free men, or even merely men or women, but we are all the same--we are Christians; we are one in Jesus Christ!" Galatians 3:26-28 (LB)
After leaving and thinking about all that was said I'm loving it even more, which I didn't think was possible. They're doing great things, great missions, great people and I'm happy to be a part of it. Needless to say I dreamt about the dinner all night. I've never had a dream that lasted the entire night. Even after you get up in the middle of the night and fall back to sleep, and still dream about the same thing you were before awaking. Wow! I was really happy we went. Also very thankful to Charles (not Char les) for sacrificing his basketball night so we could go. Thanks Baby! You are the best! :-)
