April Snow

We awoke to an April snow on Monday morning. It was pretty, but it is really time for it to be spring. Fortunately, it was not as much snow as last weekend. We need a lot of warm sunny days to dry out our yard, lots, and fields. We are tearing out the old landscaping around our house in preparation for new. In the process we are really rutting up the yard. Not exactly looking like a showplace right now.

Saturday evening was communion at church. A time to reflect on the broken body and the shed blood of our Savior Jesus Christ and to spiritually partake in his suffering. It was a blessed evening and a great way to start the week leading up to Easter. If only we could keep the peaceful, contemplative, quiet, thankful spirit in command of our hearts every day.

This afternoon, I helped move Uncle Andy and Aunt Freida into their "new" apartment at the Eureka Home. They spent their entire lives in Lester, IA, but all their children have moved away. There was no one to help care for them there as they age. So they made the hard decision to sell their stuff and make the 500 mile move to central Illinois. We look forward to and will enjoy their fellowship here, but I am sure they will be missed in Lester. We wish them God's Blessings in their new home.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
