Well, after the 20% chance of rain became 100% rain…we awoke to sun and cold.  It was beautiful, but cold.

Everyone seems to be in good spirits.  A lot of family and community going on.  Many more people arrived overnight and this morning.  Many familiar faces to say hello to, of course, if only once a year for most.  It never ceases to be a yearly family reunion.

Floyd and Sally McClung arrived this morning.  I thought I’d heard that Floyd had been ill.  If that’s the case…well, he showed no signs or hints of being so.
Floyd spoke about a lot of things regarding our character in Christ.  He talked about Jesus’ example of “being about the Father’s business”, His baptism, and the character building He endured in the wilderness.  He shared about Jesus’ speaking the Word in the face of temptation.

“This is My Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

I was really challenged to seek to please Father in whatever I do, that no matter what I do, to be about His business, not my “busy-ness”.  If He is truly more important, then I will push the other things away to make room for Him, Who loves me so much.
