What a beautiful and gorgeous day today! The sun is shining, the temperature is nice, God's creatures enjoying the day, and not a cloud in the sky! :)
Jake and I went to a BBQ that was hosted by Project HOPE (Honor Our Patriots Eternally)--a Christian Ministry Fellowship church. They had a HUGE feast and very, very friendly members. Wherever Jake and I wandered, there was always some friendly face talking to us. We had one man who came up and talked to Jake, put his hand on Jake's shoulder and kept telling him how grateful he was for his service. As we were getting ready to go down to get something to eat, he asked us if it would be okay if he prayed with us and for us. We told him that it was fine. This man gave the most beautiful prayer--his words really touched my heart. It brought tears to my eyes.
We couldn't believe the amount of food, and the different options, that were offered! There were so many people there making sure that we were being taken care of. After we finished eating, we decided to stay outside for a bit to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunshine. As we were sitting by the pond, we were watching the little birds bathing in the water by the waterfall and also the fish jumping up out of the water. It was fun to see them enjoy the day too! :) We were able to talk to many different people--members of this church and also other soldiers and their families. There was also a man at the BBQ that helps make sure that servicemen get the VA benefits that they deserve.
The only downside of the day is that Jake and I got a bit sunburned. Jake got it worse than I did. :(
All in all, it has been an absolutely beautiful day!
