Early yesterday David received a call from our good friends, Andy and Kris, saying they would be within an hour and 1/2 of our home for their son's baseball play-off game. So with about 2 hours notice we all packed up and headed out to surprise them at the game!!
Well the surprise was on all of us, as the amazing thunderstorms that we have been enjoying every evening for the past 5 days descended just as we were showing up to surprise them. Game cancelled!! As beautiful and awesome these thunderstorms have been, you do not want to be playing baseball in them! So Drew had a very short opportunity to visit with his childhood buddy and companion in more than a few mischievous adventures (like shooting at cows hooves with bb guns and watching them dance!).
We then were blessed to have Andy and Kris follow us home and visit for the evening. What an unexpected time of fellowship. We were able to surprise Grandma with a short visit too. We caught up on engagements, babies, missions and where the Lord has been leading our families. It is so good to have our families extended by being part of God's global family!!
Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

My daughter in Bend has been telling me about the nightly thunder/lightening storms they've been having. We just have HEAT up here in NW Washington.
