church happenings today:Song went well,and an unexpected compliment...

[boomers dad]

..I did "I'll Fly Away" at church this morning;turned out GREAT-Before I do songs at church,I try to remember to ask the Father to help me do a good job,so we can all praise Him with song at Church-Had everybody singing,as well.......JUST AS I SAID before,when I mentioned"congregation participation"in this song,you could hear everybody say"UHHHHHHHHHHH"collectively.Later at Church Council meeting,we were discussing plans for a summer picnic and having some kind of entertainment act come in-I asked whom they were thinking of having for the entertainment, and Pastor turned to look at me and said"YOU"......Then explained that I could probably play while the act they brought in was takin a break.THEN the rest of Church Council said "YES-WE WANT YOU AS PART OF THE ENTERTAINMENT AT THIS PICNIC,TOO-WE LOVE HEARING YOU PLAY AND SING,AND DO NOT WANT YOU LEFT OUT-NO DOUBTS ABOUT IT!!!" I went into church before council meeting,and was cleaning and singing Tracey Lawrence's "Paint Me A Birmingham" to myself without my guitar,when I came around a corner,and the wives of 2 of my fellow Council Members were sitting in the kitchen,listening to me with my not knowing it.I stopped and they said "DONT STOP- HE IS ONE OF our favorite singers,AND YOU ARE DOIN A great JOB!!"SO:I went into Tracey Lawrence's "Time Marches On",and they were happy.Ive got a GREAT gift from the LORD in this ability,and Im not afraid to display it,nor am I hesitant to give Him credit for having it!!AMEN!!!

Yes, you have been given a great gift and talent of playing the guitar and singing for the glory of God! Give Him the praise for what He has done for you and He will give you more work for serving Him with joy and gladness for the happiness of others as they are elated up higher to our Father by God's Holy Spirit! May God Bless and keep you singing and growing in faith for being used by Him more and more! Amen! Ma Betty
