Memorial Day - SVBC 2015


Sunday dawned clear and bright with blue skies!  We have had a couple weeks of cloudy, cool and rainy weather so it was wonderful to see blue skies and sun again.  I loved getting to hang our flag again...what a beautiful sight on a Sunday morning.
 We enjoyed a wonderful service together this morning.  Jenny did a wonderful job decorating...the choir sang God Bless America...Bro. Scott Crockett gave a presentation on the Missing Man...our quartet sang Death Before Dishonor...and my husband preached "When God Doesn't Make Sense".
 Jenny also put together a video of our loved ones who served in the military who have passed away.  This was my Grandpa Holt.  I love the photo!  What a blessing to have a rich heritage.
 These are the dishes we made for our picnic potluck.  Seven Layer Salad  - the recipe can be found HERE.  Vanilla-Pineapple Chilled Dessert - the recipe can be found HERE.  And Addie made a cherry cheesecake - no recipe needed!  It is from a box and she was so proud of herself. :)

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
