Keep Praying

Happy Sabbath,

It's been a week but God is good and always faithful.  I am thankful to be able to go to church today. I am thankful that no problems occurred today. I saw the police parked in the parking lot of my church this morning and it was an unusual site as I am always either the 1st or 2nd person to make it there and have never seen them there. We have a good relationship with the police department, fire department and other services and offices in our community and I know there are many immigrants who attend my church regularly.  There are alot of unknowns at this point and I've heard alot of terrible things happening throughout the country as a result of the new administration.  I pray that everyone remains safe out here because it's going to get uglier. I am thankful that no one I know has been negatively affected. I pray that it continues to be that way.

After service I was at the piano and my son and another child came over to pester me with questions. Then someone else came to ask me about activity after service and while I was distracted, my son did the very thing I told him not to do which caused my phone to fall through a slit in the piano where I could not reach. I thought I would have to wait for the host church to call a piano repair person to open it up and retrieve it but a church brother was able to safely remove the keyboard cover completely so I could get in there. If the Lord had not guided him to do this, I would be without my phone for the week and in a whole lot of trouble because my phone is the key for so many things. I have bills to pay. I need it to log in to my work accounts sometimes.  I would have been shut down. I have passwords written down and info elsewhere but I need to do another backup. I am thankful that my phone could be saved and not live inside of a piano for who knows how long.

I am thankful. I hope that you are safe and go with the Lord this week. News headings shocked me and brought me to tears as so much of this stuff hits too close to home (literally in my backyard). I pray that no more occurs.
