Micah 6:8
1 Timothy 6:17
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Serendipity. It's one of Heidi's favorite words. That comes from a sermon by a former pastor (titled, happily, "Serendipity") where he preached about how those seemingly coincidental things that simply come together just right are often more a matter of Providence than simple coincidence (as though one could believe in coincidence, right?).
Well, my friend Kenny offered to sing at church tomorrow, suggesting a great song - "Friends Are Friends Forever" - as we had recently lost our music director (as well as several other members of the congregation in the past months) and this seemed like a fitting song. It is, and it is more fitting than he realized.
Here's the serendipity - back when Patti led our youth choir, they often sang an arrangement of "Friends Are Friends Forever," especially at the end of a school year when some would be moving on to new schools, new cities, even new States. God works in mysterious ways to provide what will be best for us, doesn't He?
On a totally different note, today is Teddy Bear Picnic Day. That's a fun song (check out Bing Crosby here), but as a total bonus, here's another bear-related tune for your Saturday enjoyment.
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
