God is not a four season God.

I was reminded this last Sunday that God is not a snowbird and does not stop working because its summer. Sunday in our 2nd service we had to bring in folding chairs. God is so good and right in the middle of summer, with temperatures around 112, He fills his house. We all had a good laugh last night at our evening Bible Study talking about the things people say about summer in Mesquite and how some of the churches cancel everything do to the fact that some leave for the summer. We have a number of people traveling and 6 or 7 snowbird couples but God continues to bring new people to the community and therefore we are meeting new couples nearly every weekend. Sunday we Baptized 4 children, two from our VBS and two were grandchildren of a member who lost her husband last week. The children wanted to be baptized where she could be there. It made for an emotional time and a wonderful service. We observed the Lord's supper at both services. I never "tag" the Lord's supper on the beginning or end of a service and this time was no exception. I devoted the entire service to explanation of what it means and how to prepare to observe it. At the end of the service, a 93 year old woman who has been attending with her daughter came to me at the back door and said "In all my years of going to church I have never had the Lord's Supper explained to me like you did today, thank you and she gave me a kiss on the cheek" What a great feeling. Words of encouragement come sometimes at the most unexpected times.
