A wonderful step back in time!!!

This morning we had the privilege of joining the Green Hill Baptist family in celebrating their 60th Homecoming and dedication of their new education building. I was reminded that it doesn't matter how we worship our Father, with current praise songs we read from a screen or beautiful hymns out of a book we used to call a hymnal. Whether our pastor is in khaki's or a nice suit. If we sit in nice folding movie seats or on a pew. All that matters is that our Father is glorified!
This is such a sweet church, so welcoming of our family and so thankful for what they have.
Joey and the Dow Smith team just finished the addition of their education building. The pastor, Bro. Leonard, had such wonderful things to say about Joey and everyone at Dow Smith. I have to admit, it made a wife proud! Not because they had done an excellent job, which they have, but because of the manner in which they did it. Bro. Leonard stated in the sweetest card of appreciation to Joey, "Your leadership, insight and creative ideas have helped us achieve our dream. It has truly been a pleasure working with you and all of the Dow Smith team. You have exemplified Christ every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better experience."
I thought this was such a nice thing to say and I am so thankful to have a husband that does his job well, with dignity and gives glory to our Father!
We enjoyed a wonderful service, special time of dedication where they buried a time capsule under the bell from the original church, and then a delicious meal. This was such an emotional, special time for this church family and it was so nice to celebrate with them as brothers and sisters in Christ.

On a funny note... This really lets you know times have changed. Not long after we got there, Landon leaned over to me and said, "Mom, I've never seen seats like these before." :0)
