Dec 24 Church Service

December 24, 2006

Christmas Eve what a great day to be alive, I woke up this morning grateful that I am alive and get to sing today. All of my Scottish clothes come yesterday. God is always Right on time. It is funny how I had released the need to control when they arrived. Like clock work I go with Shawn to the Dance class, he wants to leave before it is over and we get to the post box just as they are closing. I went there for a package from my Mom some Goodies. Surprise Surprise I have my Kilt Jacket. Fits like a glove. Thank you God.

Got up Richard is still asleep so I took my medicine, vitamins and starting pressing my clothes. My neck is sore and tender. 4 days after surgery the fact that I am up and getting ready to go and sing. That is God in action. I am God in action today. I look great and feel great. I have my family with me; from the ring on my hand to the clothes I am wearing I have my history with me.

I get to church one of the first there, and Tyrone is so happy to see me. Bobby is so happy to see me. Everyone is so happy to see me. Gift shared a card for the choir, and the gift of being a GIFT of God. Thank you Gift.

We stand to sing and out comes the music. It is GREAT!!! I am so excited that I am singing today. Why? Just because I can, it is an honor, a blessing, a sign of my faith in God and knowing what I know.

Richard is here, Shawn has been around, and Antonio and Michael have been around. I feel God and see God everywhere I go. One of the Choir members didn’t know about the "Tant- So" (Cancer) and started to hug me and I had to say we have to be careful I had surgery. What kind? I told them and then they didn’t want to hug me. For the first time in my life, I got that wasn’t my journey. Thank you God.

What a blessing to know in the moment someone else's journey isn’t my journey. Rev E and Andrette were ON today in church. Thank you for being able to celebrate with them one more day. Thank you God for this day.

Amen
