This is the Day that the Lord Hath Made

Today the sun was shining...it was cold because the Texas wind can be cold! We got to church in time to put up the vestments, put up the correct calendars, and make fliers for Daughters of the King and a Quilting/Craft Ministry. We also had 45 people in church...this is up from the low 30's two months ago. Next Sunday is our annual meeting, and we were planning that, too.

I drew and watercolored the flower again, and I DO NOT like it either. So I will just keep on keeping on...perhaps white flowers were not good subjects.

But, again this was a good day! I think I'm getting a handle on the blood pressure and begin using the treadmill again.

God bless you all...and have a wonderful week.

This was our Gospel reading for today:

Luke 4:14-21

Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

because he has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to let the oppressed go free,

to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
