Fall Is Here

I love this time of year.   The leaves are just turning colors and the air is crisp.  It reminds me of one of the books the kids had when they were little and there was a picture of leaves being burnt.  I love the smell of that and the hopes of Thanksgiving right around the corner with family getting together.

We are having church with social distancing.  We still do not have choir or nursery or Sunday School classes for children.  We started the bus route back several weeks ago.  The most I have had was 7.  Last Sunday we had four.  We are sitting in the balcony away from the other people to help with social distancing.   Jaxyn has come every Sunday and I love seeing him.   He is very interested in learning memory verses and likes being faithful.   He is in the fourth grade this year.  I can't help but wonder what the Lord will do with him.    Jaxyn says he is saved but I don't remember a public confession so I'm not sure if he understands yet.

Jayden is coming a little now.  He's a sweetheart and is  open to trying to learn the verses.  I am teaching them Romans 10:9-10.  I wanted to teach that one really well because it has the plan of salvation within it.  I sure miss Jayden's big brother Isaiah and continue to pray for him to come back to church.  Satan likes to make us think that's impossible but we know better.

Reba has been very faithful but missed last week.  She has been faithful since she started several years ago.   Her two brothers were both faithful for several years but then grew disinterested.  I pray that Reba continues with us a long time. 

Darian and his little sister Aubrey are not from my route.  They live in Crystal City but since our route is so small we are picking them up too.  Last week he sat on the bench right by the sound booth and was very interested in what he was seeing so Bro. Keith Brown took him under his wing and showed him how to work the board.  Darian was so excited about it.  

You know if you look at how few we are bringing in, you might begin to think that we are wasting our time but if they want to come I am convinced we ought to bring them in!   What a blessing to get to be a part of this ministry in these dark days!!!
