It’s that kind of day. \u00a0In the midst of a very busy week, I find myself reflecting on dad. \u00a0Today is his birthday. \u00a0He would have been 86 today and I’m so thankful for the example he was and for teaching me the ways of the Lord. \u00a0He left a wonderful legacy and I am forever grateful. \u00a0I’ve been in touch with mom everyday and she is doing ok. \u00a0A little down this week but trying to stay really busy.<\/p>\n

Curiously enough, Patty’s dad shares the same birthday. \u00a0Today he turned 91. \u00a0She talked with him this morning and his weight is as low as it’s been in quite some time. \u00a0We are so excited that he is feeling so well on this special day. \u00a0Patty’s brother drove into Yazoo City yesterday from his home in ATL to spend this time with him. \u00a0Thank you for your continued prayers for him as he continues to battle lymphoma. \u00a0His next treatment is Friday and Ken (Patty’s brother) will drive him over to Jackson for that appointment.<\/p>\n

The Senior Adult banquet on Monday was fun and well attended. \u00a0Averaging 75 for the past few years there were 145 in attendance. \u00a0Those in attendance were responsive and their expressions of love toward Patty and me were such a blessing. \u00a0Tonight I will present a Christmas mini concert, for lack of a better description.<\/p>\n

The Christmas presentation by the Worship Choir is Sunday night. \u00a0They need the worship center for their dress rehearsal. \u00a0Obviously, our worship pastor is leading that rehearsal so the pastor has moved prayer meeting to the fellowship hall and asked me to take the worship time plus a little bit and kick off the Christmas season with my music and a “friend”. \u00a0So, at 6 p.m., I’ll kick things off in the fellowship hall.<\/p>\n

Blessings to you during this special season!
