Some Simple Reflections

A Day of Abundant Living

What a wonderful Sunday, a day of peace a day of Sabbath, a day of beauty, worship and joy. The day began with a beautiful pre-dawn drive from Titus to Albertville where we at Christ Church completed our preparations for “Bring a Friend Sunday.” Members of the congregation invited friends, real and “virtual,” (FB, Twitter, invisible) to join us for worship and fellowship. We were joined by friends from our Sister Church, Epiphany, in Guntersville, Alabama as well as by family members, and one person even brought a young man who works at her Gym. The music was wonderful, the Holy Eucharist always joins us with Jesus and one another and the after worship food and fellowship was great. Thanks to all who made this day possible.

On leaving church I passed by the Assisted Living facility where my mother lives and had Sunday Dinner with her and some of her friends. Good conversation, good food, and a time to share  memories as well as conversations about the Braves, the Major League Playoffs (without the Braves), and plans for some to watch the Presidents Cup Golf Tournament.

On down to Guntersville to The Whole Back Stage to enjoy the wonderful musical “Black Tie Broadway,” performed by a cast of 75 very talented men, women and children. I actually got to meet in person a long time FB friend who was a cast member. What a wonderful blessing. Virtual friends are good; real, live ones are even better. The Play was a review of some of the greatest Broadway music of the past 75 years. Still four shows left this coming weekend. Don’t miss it.

No day would be complete without learning something new, and had a wonderful learning experience that may seem simple to you technologically savvy folks out there. I videoed a class project for a friend on my phone and emailed it to him, yes emailed it. Not only can I send photos from my phone but now I know how to send videos as well.

I ended the day with a peaceful three mile walk, stopping by Foodland to pick up two cans of tomato soup and a bag of Sour Cream and Cheddar Chips for supper. Truly a good day.

“This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

Blessings and abundance to all!
