Yesterday, Karen and I went on separate sprees. Karen and a few of the "girls" here at Source of Light went north to Athens for shopping and Chinese food and came back with a carload of goodies and full stomachs. They had a good time together and it was nice to have a change of scenery, if only for a few hours.
Hugh and I went west to Conyers and a Men's' Ministry cat fish fry at Belmont Baptist Church. About 50 of us ate fish and hush puppies, had a time of fellowship, a real good message and a chance to also have a change of scenery for a few hours. We didn't do any shopping, so it was a cheap day for us. The girls came back with a bunch of stuff, but didn't break the bank or go into further debt, so it was a good day for everyone. Hugh and I both had a few Tums, or their equivalent, for dinner and today I skipped breakfast and lunch and just now had a few veggie chips for dinner.
This Thursday, a bunch of us will be "spreeing" again. This time we will all be going to the same place, our normal Sunday church in Rutledge. The women will start a seven week Priscilla Shirer Bible Study and the men will have a dinner, fellowship and a message. Karen has been wanting to get into a Bible Study and I need to find something beyond the work here at the Mission. We get into ruts sometimes, and it's good to have a change of routine, to find areas where God is at work and wanting us to join Him there. There are a multitude of ministry opportunities "out there" and we need to stretch ourselves from time to time to see where they are and how we can have an impact on the world around us.
We never know where we will be called to serve, touch others, and advance God's Kingdom. Thank You, Lord, for allowing us to be Your ambassadors.
