Sunday Funday May 2021
Praises and Prayers
Praise God for wonderful friends who invited us into their Mother’s Day celebrations and fun. Prayers for our church, as we move locations, and some other very dear friends, who are moving to another state soon.
Praise God for two really great Brazil Food Basket Experiences, and all that we got to share about the miinstry in Brazil. Prayers for Brazil, as the smaller towns are now being hit really hard with the second wave of Covid, and strict lockdowns have begun again. A friend there called it “2020.2”
Praise God for the opportunity to be vaccinated, and to see things start feeling like something called normal. Prayers for the continuing issues, and long term effects of the pandemic.
Praise God for getting to be close to family, and grilling on a lovely memorial day and many, many other days.
Praise God for Caid getting accepted into the IUPUI post-grad program for transition to teaching (but they call it something else). He starts June 28.
Praise God for the finish (well, the first week of June) of a school year well done—for Sofia, learning to read and becoming a 1st grader, and for Caid’s first year of teaching through a pandemic going really well—as he prepares for next year! Prayers as he finishes all that grading!
