All too often Cinco de Mayo and Derby Day fall on the first Saturday in May, just like it did this weekend. All we needed was the prom, which is next weekend. So what is a girl to do?????? Mexican for supper and Margaritas in our 1983 Derby glasses!
And it was a great way to end a week. So today is the beginning of a new week. Celebrate the day! Church, family, work, friends, whatever it may be, life is a gift, and one we must celebrate! I preached that Phillip shared his guidance with the Ethiopian eunuch teaching him that in spite of what the world had done to him, he was still a welcomed, whole child in God's eyes. What would the world be if we all accepted and believed that in spite of what the world hands us, we are always God's children? We should believe that, but all too often we forget. All too often we forge ahead on our own only to be pushed back by the Spirit as it wants us to surrender.
Nuff on the preaching, back to life. This weekend was one of celebration. Next weekend will also be one of celebration with prom and with Mother's Day. The five days inbetween will be full, will have mundane time (Tuesday is a Presbytery meeting!) times of challenge, times to work hard. But, in the end, it will be a week we are given to celebrate the life that is ours through faith, fun, family and friends. So I am ready to kick back, drink up, (probably back to iced tea) and enjoy the week. It will be busy, it will bring new revelations to my life, but it will be lived to the fullest!
Later....
