Just HAD to share this!

Our Pastor at church this morning (Sunday August 24th ) shared a part of the prayer St. Patrick's Breastplate: Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my left, Christ on my right, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I arise..."

Next, in his sermon, Part 4: A Series on the Book of Colossians, he read from chapter 1 verses 15-17:

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all thigs hold together."

He then shared the below video clip which just left me in open-mouthed awe ...

When living in Paso Robles, we had a young couple living across the street. The man, Donnie, and my hubby used to chat now and then. Donnie was in the military. I never really spoke to his wife, also named Laura, much other than brief 'hellos' or a wave driving past each other.

Then Donnie told Bill they were going to Germany! We ended up getting some of their things that they couldn't take and Bill also bought items from their yard sale.

Laura wrote me from Germany. I have kept every single personal letter she wrote to me (this picture isn't including the Christmas and birthday cards!). We became good friends over those exchanges, and, we still keep in touch. You just never know who will fill your heart with friendship and joy ... even beginning just through LETTERS.
