Preachers Together

from a few weeks ago...

Well, a wonderful day came out of messed up circumstances. Because of Melissa’s fall Saturday evening, the doctor said to keep an eye on her. No need to worry that it’s anything serious, let’s just wait and see.

I had planned on taking the boys with me to Lexington, to do some visitation. But with Melissa at home , maybe dizzy, I decided to stay here and do some work from home. But then, Melissa was feeling a lot better overall. So I asked her if she felt up to coming on the visits with me. She said she’d see, and anyway, if she couldn’t, we could cut it short.

We went to visit some of the Congo families, with an eye to letting John and Joe play with them. That worked out really well, to see that boys are boys everywhere, and language barrier is no barrier to play. And then, Melissa got to meet some people who have been serious prayer warriors for her. It was huge for everyone—the Congo kids bonded more closely with my boys than they could at church. And Melissa and a Congolese woman got to meet and find they have much in common, forming a friendship that will be important to both. The boys did not want to leave when Melissa said she thought she was really running down.

Haven’t we been praying that we would be preachers together? God is so good.
