remembering by doing

my granddad died a little over two years ago. before that day i'd never known a day in this world without him.

occasionally i miss him so much it hurts. sometimes, though, i do things and realize i do them because he did them. and that makes me smile. two things have happened this past week that have been such occurrences.

the other night i played solitaire...with real playing cards. haven't done that in a long while. he taught me how. 

tonight, all i had for dinner was some rolls with butter and jelly. my granddad would have that for dinner from time to time. 

deep sigh...it's the little things.

tonight we're going to worship outside. intentionally as a way of being light to our community by singing out words of exaltation and truth to our God in front of everyone who passes by. it is my hope that those words and the music will sweeten the air and people's spirits will be lifted and the Holy Spirit would guide people to feel a deep hunger inside themselves for their Creator.
