Well, today is Sunday, so of course, we went to church! I'm sure many others went to the same church we did--the living room! We were privileged to watch and enjoy the songs and sermon from Encourager Church in Houston, Texas, the church of our son Benjamin and family for many years.
We even took Communion after the pastor's exhortation and explanation of the Passover, where the children of Israel were spared after applying the blood to the door posts and of their safe escape from Egypt.
Thankfully, I had grape juice on hand, and of course, crackers, for an impromptu participation of Jesus's words, "This is my body, which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me."
Plans were that our local church would give an on-line service, but a glitz occurred, preventing the presentation. Diligently, we waited and looked forward to a service from PCA, our former church in Ponca City, Oklahoma, but evidently there were electronic problems there, too.
Some of our family are self-quarantined, and others locally are staying home, so we are having a relaxing, quiet afternoon as we wait for the culmination of our Instant Pot's delivery of a tasty meal.
Thankfully, the sun is shining today, after intermittent rain for several days. The first day of Spring was yesterday, I think, and the landscape is rising to the occasion! The grass is an emerald carpet, naked trees are now swathed in wedding gown-white blossoms, and tiny blue flowers cover the yard.
Even though we are in very troubled times, I can't help but think of the words of a poem:
"Morning's at seven, the grass is dew-pearled, God's in His heaven, All's right with the world."
If only!
