Last night the young group had a Bible Study held at the fellowship hall so we could set up for the Senior Citizens dinner at the same time. As soon as we arrived we were put to work setting up tables, decoration, and rinsing off dishes. The theme for this year is fishers of men, and the center pieces for the tables will be a vase with some beads in the bottom and a gold fish! I thought that was a pretty entertaining idea.
The Bible Study was really nice, Dave O. had it. We talked a lot about the character of a Christian and how a Christian should walk. He gave us some scenarios and verses to analyze and we broke off into groups. I was glad to get a really nice, serious group. Our “scenario” was about having faith like a child. We talked about how enthusiastic children can be about things and how cool it would be if we as Christians would be like that. Have you ever tried looking at a sunset and thinking that God must have painted it just for you? I do sometimes and that thought makes me so excited, just like a child. What if that mindset continued through all aspects of our lives?
After the Bible Study we had a nice supper of hot sandwiches, chips, and caramel apples provided by the Leuthholds. Then we got down to business practicing our songs for the dinner. It was 10:00 at this point and I had been on my feet all day. I won’t lie, it felt like there were a million songs and they took sooooooo long. After enduring through that a game of giant dutch blitz was brought out. Dutch Blitz is a very fast pace card game. Now imagine that with cardboard cards that are huge. It can get pretty brutal, everyone racing to put their cards on the right spot all the way across the room, but it’s great fun! Come to think of it, it’s pretty amazing we even had energy to do this after all we had done before and considering the time…
We didn’t get to Janelle’s house until 11:00 or so. We had planned to stay the night in their brand new home. Of course you can’t have a slumber party without staying up late. We didn’t get to sleep until 1:00. Needless to say, when I woke up this morning I felt like a mess. I probably look a mess.
Now we are home just chillin’, the house is clean, so no work today. Actually I really should be studying. We learned all these new muscles in the head, neck, and trunk and it is really hard!
Later on tonight we will go back to the fellowship hall to serve the dinner and sing for the elderly who come. Should be great.
