This week I celebrated my birthday. I had a lovely day because I was able to talk to many of my friends and family around the world. Just as the day was winding down and I was getting my kids ready for bed, I got a call from Junior. He had gone up to the church in Corcona for the Wednesday night church service. He told me that he would soon be arriving home with a group from the church. Although I don't usually go up to Corcona for the Wednesday night service (since it is late and difficult for the kids), they had gotten word that it was my birthday and had prepared me a special meal. They were disappointed to find that I hadn't come up for church, so they decided to come home with Junior and help me celebrate. About 9:30 PM they arrived here with food and a birthday cake. It was a wonderful surprise. It made me feel so honored that they would be willing to drive one hour down the mountain to help me celebrate my birthday practically in the middle of the night. After singing, sharing, eating and praying together, they all headed home about 11:30. It was a long day, but a great chance to spend some time getting to know the members of the church better. So I thank the Lord for their big hearts, their flexibility and their kindness.
