WEDDING: My cousin Stuart was married on Friday. The wedding was at Westlink Church in Wichita. Never been in there. The reception afterwards was in their "youthroom". Wow! Guess they have like 500 students in their ministry. Pretty amazing.
Then on Saturday we went to my Uncle John and Aunt Trudy's house. All the aunts/uncles/cousins that were here for the wedding got together again to go swimming and eat supper together. Played our traditional killer game of croquet. Those Busenitz boys are very competitive. Luke usually comes from behind to win. This year JD just beat him. Nice to have the title stay with the "Burkholder" name.
WHEELCHAIR: Mom started using a wheelchair this weekend. It was a tough week overall for her. The wheelchair has helped with her mobility but obviously the need for it indicates it is harder for her to get around on her own. Not sure what this will mean for accessibility to the house or how long Dad can care for her. He does such a great job. I would rather "act" than "react", but not sure how that will transpire this time. God has been so faithful. I am glad I can trust Him for this transition as well.
SUNDAY: Attended Hesston Mennonite Church today. Many people don't know I'm on sabbatical so it's fun to see their looks of confusion when we walked in the church. Have some great friends that attend there and we enjoyed our time of worship this morning. Pastor Murray had a great message about using your gifts and following the Call God lays on your heart in ministry. Used the examples of Elisha out of I Samuel 19 and Isaiah out of Isaiah 6. We also liked how they have a half an hour fellowship time between SS and church.
This afternoon we hit the pool over in Mom & Dad's subdivision. Since they pay for it, but never use it, we try to get their money's worth out of it. Met a great couple (Ryan & Lisa and Alexander, their 2 year old) while we were there.
