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." Psalm 27
