It is just after 8am in Oklahoma as I write this note. I have just finished re-reading the email and post I sent last night to our community family and friends. By the way, I don't proof things very well. My mom would have told you that; many of you will tell me that. Oh well...
Don't FORGET TO BRING CANDY for our family event on Halloween. Please start NOW bringing bags of individually wrapped candy. We will need lots and lots as we tend to serve more than 2,000 kids and have run out of candy almost every year. Bring it by church during the week, Monday thru Thursday from 9 until 3, or bring the candy to church on Sunday!
Here are several things you can pray for over the next few days:
Honetly, I would not take a million dollars for the time I have had with my mom, my dad and my brothers the weeks I have been here in August, September and now in October. My mom's death has been difficult, and I (we) miss her greatly. From my heart, I AM BLESSED. We have so much to praise God for from mom waking up two times after being unconscious for several days and having great conversations, to her making her health decisions with our support rather than us having to make them without her, to my ability to be away from our home and work in Virginia to spend time in Oklahoma, to know my mom prepared spiritually and emotionally for this, to see how my dad's wisdom has prepared him and all of us for this both spiritually and financially, the closeness of my brothers, and so much more. I will share much of that with you.
Thank you! Thank you all for your love and kindness, for being my family a long, long way from Oklahoma. I love you all, and I am so glad ... we .... are ... family. See you next week.
With GOD as my guide,
Pastor Michael
