Big Day

Well, the big day is over! The BBQ went of with barely a hitch. What a nice idea my husband had! And how blessed I am to have the help of children and grandchildren for something of this nature.

Son-in-law Robert's barbequed ribs, beef, and chicken were a hit, and since we put some flyers for the store around, hopefully the food's reputation will bring business. This was their first big catering job, and we were happy to be the trial run.

The grandchildren's performance went so well -- they included Christmas songs along with some traditional bluegrass. The older folks especially enjoyed them. And dh (that means dear husband to me) had arranged for son-in-law Chris to set up a trap shooting rig in the field, so most of the men and even some ladies had a good time shooting. Of course, the dogs were nowhere to be found until the noise stopped!

It was good to meet the families of dh's business associates, and I know the Lord intended it for my own personal growth, as I would stick to my own little circle if allowed. Hopefully, we were able to demonstrate God's heavenly family to those who are crying out for light in the darkness of this world's warped view of family life. He has been so good to us.

Three of the grandsons stayed over tonight to help us get the house ready for homechurch tomorrow, and dh is getting ready to have devotions with them. Line upon line, precept upon precept. There is life after your children grow up -- grandchildren!
