Anyway, I enjoyed your little moments of grace from Sunday. Mine happened after worship. I was in the back greeting people as they left the sanctuary when little Hudson came out (he's almost 2 years old). After running around in the narthex for a while he ended up by me. I reached my arms out and asked him if he wanted to help me greet people. He then reached his arms out and I picked him up. Hudson then proceeded to reach out his hand to shake people's hands with me. It was really cute and even more cute when Hudson got impatient when people stopped to talk and didn't notice him with his hand extended. Even the "little Christians" know how to engage in fellowship.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your post.<BR/>EricPastor Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281721067947261768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-11673839653674627462007-06-11T07:37:00.000-05:002007-06-11T07:37:00.000-05:00hot cup -- Scout didn't go to church yesterday.

Haven't had one in awhile, I think because I stopped eating ice cream EVERY night before bed...but I know, that's a simplistic response. I do hope you feel better soon.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you had a great day of worship and community.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-2370110229757633202007-06-10T19:52:00.000-05:002007-06-10T19:52:00.000-05:00what a beautiful day ..

I am NOT alone and I DO have people who care about me, but sometimes I still feel alone, just by virtue of being "left behind" when Bill died. So, your efforts were very, very much appreciated. I also noticed you "talking" to K during the songs and it made me smile, and touched my heart. This is why I love our church. This is why I cannot miss two Sundays in a row. My life doesn't feel right when that happens, so it will NOT be happening again. <BR/><BR/>And Scout the Wonder Dog is beautiful; I was so excited to finally get to see her! Also, THANK YOU...The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine" is EXACTLY what I meant; I'm glad I'm not the only one who knew that!<BR/><BR/>See you Wednesdaykim-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650811256788756378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-23832913616213353472007-06-10T17:05:00.000-05:002007-06-10T17:05:00.000-05:00The blessing of the (overdue!) baby made me smile....The blessing of the (overdue!) baby made me smile.

She actually has her own church which she hardly ever gets to go here, because she's always signing for us. So it's hard for me to be so hard on her. Plus she does a lot of extra things for us.Diane M.
