Yesterday the choir and orchestra from our church (including the best looking trumpet player ever!) presented a musical based on Missions. In my opinion, this was the best musical I have heard them do. It was heartfelt, and the music had a powerful message of what we are called to do. I absolutely loved it.
Just a little insight....The reason for this musical was to prepare for the upcoming Lottie Moon Christmas offering. The concept of "giving" is very near to my heart. For one reason, my top love languages are "Acts of Service" and "Gifts." For another reason, someone voluntarily gave $ so that I could go to summer camp as a teenager. At that camp is where my faith in Jesus Christ became a reality. This Christmas offering is the largest single missions offering that we give to on an anual basis at church. This special offering covers a majority of the budget for missionaries under the International Missions Board. Living expenses, Bibles and teaching materials, travel expenses, security for missionaries and aid after natural disasters are just a few of the many things that this offering does.
Later in the day on Sunday, we were able to spend some time with cousins. We "cracked eggs" on the trampoline to the tune of 100 giggles. Ailey was loving on JJ (our dog). I have included a few pictures.
We ended the day by playing Blake's new Campbell's Soup Scrabble game that he got from Aunt Rachel and the girls.
