SPIRITLINE SHOW !
IT WAS A NON-STOP ‘KINDA’ DAY TODAY BUT LOVELY ALL THE SAME :
MASS, BREAKFAST WITH OUR DEAR FRIEND, JAZZ ( FINALLY STARTING TO LOOK A BIT PREGNANT…YAY!) , THEN OFF TO SCHONSEE PLACE TO PLAY OUR SPIRITLINE SHOW FOR THE DEMENTIA PATIENTS THERE AND THEIR FAMILIES.
WE HAD SUCH A NICE CROWD ( CLOSE TO 30 PEOPLE?) OF SMILING, APPRECIATIVE GUESTS AND SOME OF OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS DROVE THE LONG DRIVE NORTH EAST TO HEAR US PLAY TOO. WE EVEN HAD A COUPLE GET UP AND DANCE TO MY SONG, ” EPIPHANY ” .
THAT WAS SO COOL.
LOTS OF LAUGHS FOR SOME OF TERRY’S HUMOROUS SONGS AND JUST A FUN AFTERNOON OF MUSIC FOR US AND HOPEFULLY FOR ALL.
THEN , NO SOONER HAD WE PACKED UP THE GEAR AND BROUGHT IT OUT TO THE VAN ( THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP HAUL) , THEN WE WERE DRIVING AN HOUR WEST TO GO TO OUR ANNUAL KRAMER FARM CHRISTMAS PARTY.
I ADMIRE THIS FAMILY SO MUCH ! DOUG AND JUDY HAVE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO BRING OTHERS TO CHRIST AND THEY LIVE THEIR OWN LIFE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY THAT ‘WALKS THE TALK ‘ WHEN IT COMES TO LIVING SIMPLY AND SHARING THEIR FAITH BY LIVING IT.
THEY USED TO RUN THE ‘CAMP ENCOUNTER’ CAMP ( WHERE 3 OF OUR CHILDREN ONCE ATTENDED AND LOVED IT) AND NOW THEY LIVE ON AN ACREAGE WHERE THEY GROW THEIR OWN VEGETABLES, HUNT FOR FOOD, GATHER EGGS FROM THEIR OWN CHICKENS AND EVEN CHOP THEIR OWN WOOD TO KEEP WARM ALL YEAR LONG. THEY ARE TRULY GENEROUS AND KIND. YOU WOULD BE BLESSED TO KNOW THEM …AS WE ARE.
WE SHARED A DELICIOUS POT LUCK MEAL AND GREAT CONVERSATIONS.
A FULL DAY AND A BEAUTIFUL START TO OUR 3RD WEEK OF ADVENT.
