I hope you had a great weekend. Things went well here in Georgetown. We had a really super Valentine's Day lunch with the kids and also enjoyed watching UK win their game against Arkansas. It's always good to see John Pelphrey.
I really enjoyed church on Sunday. We had one of our youth deliver the sermon as our preacher was out of town. Kyle did a great job, as he always does. He spoke to us about Job and posed the question to us "Why do bad things happen to good people?". He compared our lives to the threads within a quilt. We, within the fabric, are simply not aware of the intricacy of the beautiful work of which we are a part. The finished work can only be seen from a distance and the only one with that viewpoint is the master creator, Himself. Hopefully, when we reach the other side, we will be given a glimpse of the painstaking, glorious pattern that was our life.
Today's Upperroom reading really took me on a ride through my memory of old hymns. Philippians 4:7 reminds me of a song we used to sing when I was little. I remember singing, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart". It continues' "I've got the peace that passeth understanding, down in my heart". I didn't understand that line at all when I used to sing it, I just knew it was quite the tongue twister. Now I know that we get this wonderful peace that transcends all human understanding from Jesus Christ. We can only experience it once we accept his unsurpassing love, confess our sins and accept him as our personal savior. This is the wish that I'm wishing for your life.
I'm looking forward to a beautiful day here in Scott County. I've already enjoyed watching the deer and birds visit their feeding areas outside. You have a great day as well, luv, Susan
