This morning at Magnolia was a time of joy and a little sadness as I will describe...The time of joy was the Church Service and the study of God's word...The theme for the service was "Beware of False Prophets", a great deal to think and study on...Pastor Stacey gave a great sermon on just what God says from the Bible about false prophets and how we should react to them....If you weren't there to hear, you should have been....
Now on the little sadness part, after the service coffee and cakes, cookies, fudge and other goodies were served in honor of Don and Barbara Howard...Don and Barbara are leaving to head north later in the week...They have sold their home in Magnolia and planning on staying in Indiana full time....I know that it was a decision that was hard for them to make but some times we just have to do what we think is right for us....We had 56 in attendance for church and several people came in for the farewell party after the service was over....I wasn't able to get an accurate count, but will guess about 70...Many people gave stories of memories of happenings of Don and Barbara in the past and a few tears were shed....They will be sorely missed....We just need to keep Don and Barbara in our prayers and may God bless them in their new paths....I apologize for not taking my camera and getting some pictures, because I am sure not happy with myself for not doing it...
This blogs sole purpose has transitioned to one of keeping in touch with each other. Over the years it has been primarily for letting everyone know what is happening and also for promotion to add more folks to our Winter Texan family. The core of things has changed and we must change along with it. We still want to know what is happening with our friends no matter where they may be located. So continue to let us know where you are and what is on your plate.
