Best Vacation Ever!
Well we took a week and went to Ohio. They let us stay at the ranch and were having a revival.
We left Tuesday morning and were going to have plenty of time to settle in and get ready for church that evening. As soon as we hit Ohio it started to snow. It got worse the closer we got to Toledo. We pulled into the church and were rushed to the ranch to get dressed and ready for church. They asked Bill to play piano as the pianist was sick.
We got back to church just in time. The pastor asked Bill to sing a special before the evangelist preached and then had all the preachers sing a special. So he got to do two in a row.
We woke up to it still snowing and we were snowed in at the ranch. They ended up have to come with a 4x4 SUV and ferry us in two trips to church.
Lets see Bill fell down the hard wood stairs in the ranch and then I fell down the concrete stairs outside the ranch while holding Elsie. We are both OK and Elsie never knew there was anything wrong.
Thursday the revival broke out and the song leaders wife got saved! Friday night the pastor's son surrendered to preach. He feels led to reach the Muslims in the Toledo area. A young lady in the church also surrendered to be a preacher's wife.
Saturday we went shopping with the Pastor's family. Bill had told me to buy two new outfits. I am not a good shopper when it comes to myself. The pastor's wife told me that I wasn't buying for me I was doing what my husband told me to do. Then she told me that I had the jean skirt I was wearing for ten years and needed some new clothes. Later the next day my husband said I have had the same clothes for the last 20 years. I had not told him that Mrs. Stogsdill had said the same thing.
I have really gotten frumpy. As a nursing mother of 5 I tend to be at the bottom of the priority list. I leave my hairdo til last on most Sunday mornings and then don't have time to do a whole lot with it. Mrs. Stogsdill said that I need to start dressing for my husband and she is right. Not for me but for my husband. As a preacher's wife I need to look the part. I did find two new outfits and know I need to make an effort to wear the nicer things in my closet and be more presentable.
Sunday my husband preached twice. I love hearing my husband preach. We also did a walk through of a house that is for Sale/rent that is right next door to the church.
I don't know where we will end up, but, I know God is working and it is all His doing as we strive to do His will.

What a blessing to hear about your great vacation. It is always nice to have around them bold ones that are not afraid to tell you when you need to improve. I needed to read that, I need to start dressing for my husband also. Now somehow I need to get my husband to tell me to go buy me 2 new outfits.
