We had a great Sunday. We had an early start — we go to a church in Kyiv on Sunday mornings so we leave the house a little before eight. Ouch.
When I opened the gate this morning, I found that we had a Sunday surprise. Some of our beautiful lilies had bloomed. I’m glad I got some pics because by the time we got home at lunch time, they had finished blooming. Short cycle! Glad I saw them!
You can see that everything is green now. It’s quite beautiful here in the Spring. It makes the winter more tolerable I guess…
We had a great time of worship this morning and had a great sermon on standing for the truth no matter what the cost — and to love in the process. The kids had a good time in children’s worship and youth Sunday school.
We had a pretty relaxing afternoon… I worked in the yard a tiny bit and worked on some web design stuff — actually some how-to video production to be specific. Afternoons seem short though. We blink and it’s gone.
We had an interesting experience for house church tonight. No translator. Zilch. Nada. So we did it in Russian…as best we could. Nope…not nearly perfect. And quite frustrating I’m sure, but it worked out and we had some good conversation – allbeit slowly. Nonetheless, we had a good time with the Lord and each other.
Thanks for you constant prayers that our language study will move forward ever so quickly and that we will grasp it rapidly.
Enjoying our home — though there is ALWAYS something needing done. And I mean ALWAYS.
My VERY humble garden. Lettuce, carrots, peppers, okra, cucumbers, green beans. You can’t see it, but the green beans and cucumbers are pushing through the dirt. We also have a huge strawberry patch that is well established, large raspberry patch, 2 apricot trees, 1 apple tree, 1 plum tree, 2 cherry trees.
The grapes are growing well and will soon take over this entire corner. That’s an outhouse peeking out of the corner by the way. 🙂
Not a well-house, exactly, since we don’t have a well but it’s where the city water for the different buildings all network into the main line. The flowers are all starting to bloom and take over the yard. In a few weeks, the place will be full of color.
One of the flowerbeds.
Have a great celebration of the Lord today wherever you are or whatever you are doing. He is worthy of all we have to give him and so much more!
Bless the name of the Lord with us.
