Chit Chat II

More chit chat! The Eastern Bluebirds seem to be gone now. They were migrating north so I guess they figured it was time to move on. We certainly enjoyed them while they were here! But this is the third day we’ve not seen them. They were here for about a week.
Yesterday we went to a memorial service for a friend, Marcelle, who died very suddenly, probably a heart attach. Her former husband and now best friend played the piano and sang, he also played an instrument that has a key board. He blew into it like a trumpet. I love to hear Bob play the piano. There were lots of folks there that we hadn’t seen in years. So the dinner afterwards was a very interesting time. Years ago I sang in a trio and Bob was our pianist. Well, yesterday all three of us were there, Ruth, Barb, and myself, and Bob. It was a nice reunion. The first thing Ruth said when I walked in the door was: “We’re singing today!” I said, “Yeah, right.” Barb said, “You’re kidding, right?” Yes, of course, she was but it was fun just to reminisce. And Bob was just as happy to see all of us too. Our pastor spoke at the memorial service and did a great job. He never knew Marcelle so he was honest and said he never knew her but he does know the God who knew her and he could talk about Him. It was really good.
This evening we had small group at our house. Seven of us discussed the sermons from last Sunday and today. It was very interesting and enlightening. We’re all at different stages of our Christian walk so we’re all learning. We’re also all becoming very good friends. Lord, thank you for Who You Are. I praise You because You are Sovereign. Thank you for friends.
