Today is Friday, March 3rd, 2006; Karen's Korner #750

As part of the Lenten season, our church family is studying "Seeing the Unseen Christ". We began last Sunday and will look at various topics in the upcoming seven weeks, concluding on Easter Sunday.
 
Last Sunday's topic was "Bow Down & Worship" and our minister's charge was for us to "observe Christ" in our daily lives this week.
 
I have a couple of "God sightings":
 
** Sighting #1:  A brother and sister, who were born in the Clarion area and now reside in Colorado, stopped by our home on Saturday afternoon. They had returned for a couple of days to attend the memorial services of their 99-year-old grandmother. The family moved from Clarion 27 years ago. "We are going to attend our old church on Sunday morning," Deb said. Which they did. Several days ago we received an email from Deb saying, "Guess who we saw in church? Delpha and Brock." Brock was the minister of the congregation when Deb was confirmed and Delpha was Deb's piano teacher. The Brockmeyers moved to another congregation maybe 25 years ago and have probably been back to a worship service in Clarion no more than a handful of times!
 
** Sighting #2:  Our daughter shared with us that one of her good friends, who is wheelchair-bound due to cerebral palsy, got moved to her downtown apartment in Des Moines on Saturday. "Mom, Barker is so excited to be in her new place,"Jamie said. "She told me that it's a good thing she got moved when she did, because there was a fire on the floor above her in her old apartment the next day!" Jamie said that Barker wouldn't have been trapped, because even when she is home alone she keeps her cell phone with her. But Barker would have spent some pretty intense minutes before someone would have come to her rescue and gotten her out of the apartment!
 
** Sighting #3: A two-month-old baby for which a number of people in our community have been praying, came home from the hospital several days ago!
 
** Sighting #4:  I woke up this morning with more blessings than I can list!! Good health, relatively good mental capacities, several tasks to do and people to be in touch with.....to list but a couple!
 
........and I have all day today and Saturday to add to my list!!
