It's been fun watching the Olympics the past few weeks and seeing gifted athletes celebrate their victories and near victories, while many more did not win medals but were able to celebrate the fact that they represented their country on a world-wide stage. In a few weeks we will see the ParaOlympics where everyone who participates will be a winner in the eyes of all of us.
On a more local level, Karen and I are about to go to dinner with Jerry and Renee to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary. That's pretty good for a couple who are younger than us, have four children, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren with one more on the way. They got an early start, but are going strong and still serving the Lord with Campers on Mission. Tomorrow we will be going to dinner with Dick and Joan to celebrate his 89th birthday. Dick has been the Tabernacle Priest here at The Great Passion Play for 28 years, is a retired Navy man and former pastor in Eureka Springs. They are a great couple and still eager to be part of TGPP and share their experiences and knowledge with others.
We have been so blessed to be around a wide variety of people who are trying to make a positive difference in the world in the places God calls them to serve. It's good to celebrate our "victories", but it's even better to know that the biggest victory is yet to come; and we can celebrate it now with assurance and expectation. Thank You, Lord.
