61st Birthday Doings for Richard and Also For our Pastor (His 36th!)

Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

I do believe that Richard had a fantastic 61st birthday. It was a day of good wishes and lots of love shown. It started with the grandkids coming one by one this morning before school to wish Grandpa "Happy Birthday." He came home from work with lots of nice cards. Tonight's birthday dinner was hosted by Brian and and Amy. Also honored as a 2/7 birthday celebrity was our dear Pastor Jackson. We enjoyed Pastor, Tracy, and their three sweet children. The other guests invited to the dinner were our dear Dr. Streeter and his wife, Karen. Of course, our grandkids made the evening extra special, too. It was a fabulous dinner that Amy prepared and it was a wonderful time of sweet Christian fellowship.

I made some videos this morning as the grandkids came over and then at the party tonight. Happy Birthday to my dear Richard and to our precious pastor.

Update on the Birthday Boy and Update on My Friend Peggy

I talked to Richard and our son-in-law Brian was taking him to lunch. Brian actually called and invited me but with taking Peggy to the doctor I wasn't able to meet them. I did so very much appreciate Brian's invitation for me to join them but knew that Richard and Brian would enjoy their "shop talk" over lunch.

My friend Peggy was told that she no longer needs her blood pressure meds and that they were over medicating her!! What great news to receive that she doesn't need them. She should feel much better in a few days as she comes off of them. God is good!!!

Gotta get in there and make a banana pudding for the birthday dinner party at Amy's and Brian's this evening.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RICHARD AND A PRAYER REQUEST FOR A DEAR FRIEND

It was so much fun this birthday morning. I started off the festivities with my gift and card for Richard, but it got MUCH better!! Amy called to tell her Dad that a birthday well-wisher was on our front door step. It was Jaden. He left and then another well-wisher appeared. It was Jarrett. He left and then another well-wisher appeared. It was Joshua. And then the prettiest well-wisher appeared. It was Isabella. What a sweet time Grandpa Richard had with each of his four grandkids. I didn't know a thing about any of that but luckily had my camera out so got it all captured on video. I hope to share it later, but for now, I have a friend in need....

Please pray for my friend Peggy. She has been having some low blood pressure episodes for a week or more. I had an early morning email from her husband that Peggy wasn't doing well and that she would be going to the doctor this morning. I called at 7:30 to check on her (hoping to talk to Jerry) but Peggy answered. I asked if she needed a friend to drive her to the doctor. She said she had thought she could drive herself but that she was feeling weaker by the moment and that she would appreciate it if I could drive her. I would appreciate your prayers for my dear friend Peggy.

Have a blessed day!!!
