This was such a special service today for many reasons, but most importantly, because it was Easter. I believe that I witnessed something a little differently today and I am still amazed at how things just fell into place, because God was working through everyone today in so many ways. The flowers and the music were so beautiful, as were all of the pastel colors that everyone wore. Having our clergy all dressed out for the special occasion with their beautiful words spoken and a special guest to compliment the service made this a wonderful day. But there was so much more that I noticed. I really noticed how everyone worked so hard in the kitchen and to get all of the food out on the tables and ready to serve; especially June, Reida, Georgia, Maris and others. I noticed that in many ways, Fr. Frank is a one man show. I noticed how he puts the children first, as he immediately went outside with them to get the egg hunt and the bouncey house going. I noticed Al and many others moving tables and chairs to accomodate our Easter dinner crowd. I noticed our Deacon taking time to hold my grandbaby while I made my plate while she waited. I noticed children running around with so much excitement. I noticed a daddy running in holding his childs hand in need of a bandaid. I noticed people taking time to talk to others. And some were running to be with their children and yet took a moment to share a few special words. I noticed lots of smiles. I even noticed myself hungry and impatient, being patient. I noticed Victoria working diligently making sure that all the prizes were distributed. I noticed even the people who were sad or sick, looking lifted in just being there. I noticed the beautiful Memorial Garden from the window.
I noticed many new and old faces. I noticed how so many people were doing so many different things and how everything just seemed to flow so smoothly. Most importantly, today I noticed the presence of God so much more. I noticed that Christ spoke to my daughter as soon as she walked into the Church. I noticed that Fr. Frank is more filled with Christ's spirit than I imagined. I noticed that when my daughter asked approximately 3 minutes before the service began if he could baptise her baby...today, that he never blinked an eye. I noticed just how well he handles life. I noticed how much he has brought to me and to my families lives. I noticed that so many prayers from the entire congregation have been answered. I noticed how everything fell into place, just the way God wanted it to. Today was a very special day and I noticed that at King of Peace, it was a very special day for God, too. I am honored to call it "My Church Home".
