Well, the day finally arrived. A day
unlike any other day at New Life Oak Forest..... P-day, Dec 21st.
No not Pay day but Play day. Everything was in place for the Mouse’s
Tale play. A couple of beautifully painted back drops. (thank you Jerry,
Laura, Toni) We had professional looking wardrobe (thank you Maritza,
Christina, Cindy, Vicky) We even had a video taping of the event courtesy
of Tim “the lens” Dearborn. (Hey Tim where’s my name in the credits
: )
So anyway there we were, a stage complete
with backdrops, props and a manger. We had actors with great looking
wardrobes. We had sheep, camels, cows, donkeys, sparrows, mice, before
you think where’d they get those animals...the animals were played
by the children from our Sunday children’s ministry. There was a great
turnout of friends, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles to make the
picture complete. And then the play began and we were off. What an amazing
thing to see God working through these children to bless His bigger
children..... The New Life Family. They were amazing, even the unpredictability
of the 3 and 4 yr olds God used to really bless the body. He absolutely
knit and wove a bigger tapestry than we ever thought or imagined.
As I look back to when we started preparing
and rehearsing, I can see His hand weaving and directing everything
even though at times we were left scratching our heads as to what we
should do. Then He would supply what we needed and we would praise Him.
So I guess what I’m trying to say
is that we serve an Amazing, Wonderful, Awesome God who is able to do
exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or think according to His
power working within us....Ephesians 3:20 To Him be the Glory!!
Thank you God
