Pass the Torch Tuesday Mother's Day Edition
Posted in PTT
 I had a terrific mother's Day, maybe the best one ever. The day started with a great worship service. The service opened with a funny video ($2, people-- that's a deal!). We also had a good drama before the sermon (modified slightly to fit the kids we were using). Jason and I made all the moms cry when we sang this. I loved how the pastor made the sermon about mothers but also for everyone-- it was a good message. And all the kids made me cards and things in Sunday School. Reed had made me a gift in Stepping Stones, also, and Spenser bought me some jewelry with his very own money that he has been saving for a new video game. Together they gave me a deck of cards with coupons attached-- for washing dishes and things like that. Score! The best part, though, was the surprise in the middle of the service. Spenser has been playing keyboard along with the piano and organ for the praise and worship music. When it was time for the offertory, I saw Reed go to the piano-- I thought she was just a little early for the skit. Then she was standing there by the bench, and I was thinking, "Move, hon, you are in Miss Kathy's way." Next thing I know she and Miss Kathy are playing a duet. The little stinker hadn't even told me. When they finished, Kathy started playing again, and it took a moment for me to realize that she and Spenser were playing a duet-- one of my favorite hymns, There is a Fountain. Make that 2 stinkers who kept a good secret. Not to mention, Miss Kathy is my friend and walking buddy. She did not say a word when we walked and talked for an hour and a half the week before. She was trying to "get me." And she did--I may have even shed a tear or 2. You can pass the torch every week, by sharing simple and stupendous times kids make us proud, as well as the ways we see adults passing the torch. Check out the PTT posts and guidelines here. |
