Thought for the Day/Week

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY/WEEK:

"In my view, the Christian religion is most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

~Noah Webster- preface to 1828 Dictionary~

Valentines Program at Kidron Bethel Village in Newton

Once again, the girls did 2 Valentine's Day programs. The first was at Metro East Church, (which I was unable to attend), and the second program was for the Kidron Bethel Village...a retirement community in Newton. When we arrived, the residents were eating their banquet in a dining area, while the girls set up for th program in a large meeting room.
They got their instruments tuned and ready.
And played a 40 minute program consisting of classical music and hymn arrangements.
The room held over 100 guests.
Many of the guests were encouraged and enjoyed the music.
One resident who came to visit with the girls after the program, explained to them the great comfort they were to her at this time...her sister was dying in Minnesota, and she would not be able to get there in time to see her. She thanked the girls for the hymns which were especially comforting to her.
...Some of the girls wanted to grab the car keys and drive her to Minnesota themselves!
We loaded the van, and got one last photo in front of the building.
Then went to Braums. "Hey, Anna got bigger scoops than I did!"
Doesn't that look good!
Hannah ordered chocolate, but they gave her chocolate-almond. She spent a great deal of time picking nuts out of her ice cream.
Then they posed one last time out by the van.
We are grateful for opportunities to encourage believers, and point unbelievers to Christ. May He receive all of the honor for His work in these young ladies.
