Church was amazing. Our joy is found in the HOPE we have in Christ. We should be "joyful ALWAYS" because Christ has redeemed us and heaven awaits us at the end of this life. This deep rooted joy is not circumstantial, but based on what has already been done on the cross and what is yet to happen in heaven. It's because of Jesus.
Oriental Garden for a filling of unlimited Chinese food. One of my personal favorites. Dave and Al were so kind to let me come along on this Father's Day excursion. I don't deserve their kindness to me.
Then a lazy day in the garden out back. I got through most of my book (The Heavenly Man). This book is a must read for Christians. This man put his hope in God (which I have been learning a lot about) and risked EVERYTHING for the sake of the Gospel. I have cried several times as his persecution was described in detail. God has put us here to tell his Gospel, no matter the cost. Played with kids. Talked with grandparents. Walked in the woods. Listened to a message. Are lazy days like this worthless? I think not. They are opportunities to learn and reflect on who God is. But for some reason, they do cause me to miss home more.
