Wonderful Weekend!

This weekend was a great weekend. On Saturday we went to the zoo with our friends Bobby and Janice, and their little girl. I really don’t care too much for the circus, but this was not bad, and Cassidy loved it!

The Sunday service was great. Pastor Mark told the story of Jonathon’s son Mafibasheth. He also brought light to the 23rd Psalm that I have never thought about. According to the pastor, there was a time in the Jewish history that if a person was running from their enemies, and were able to make it to the Kings tent, then the King would give them sanctuary. He would even “prepare a table for them” in the presence of their enemies. When I thought about this, I remembered that I had been praying for something similar. You see, the “precious” that I have wrote about before has come back into my life several times. Just recently, I once again got rid of it. I realize that my enemies would enjoy using it to destroy me. My prayer is that God would protect me from my enemies, and even from myself. I want to rest under the shelter of God’s wings. I want Him to prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

After the service, we had a wonderful visit and dinner with our friends Nena and Gary. We were once close to them, and then, as friendships sometimes do, drifted apart. I have been praying that we would once again enjoy sweet fellowhip with them. Perhaps this is the beginning of that, and if not, it was great to enjoy this day. After all, THIS is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in IT. And that is just what we did.
