Acts 17:24-25 "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things."
As promised, I am releasing part 2 of Wayne's sermon on 1 Peter...see below. I believe Wayne preached these sermons in 2014. He would fill in for our pastor when he was out of town. I am so thankful for these sermons because they capture Wayne's voice, his personality, and all that I remember pre-cancer Wayne to be.
After sharing the sermon Wayne preached on 1 Peter (part 1), the kids heard Wayne and couldn't recognize his voice. Not only has Wayne's speech been affected from his two surgeries, even his voice has changed a little. I turned the sermon on the computer and Joella, Micaela, and Shan all said, "Who is that?" They had no clue it was Wayne. I am trying not to dwell on it, but it makes me sad that they don't really know the original Wayne. If I'm honest, when I hear his sermons, it makes me sad too. I am so thankful that Wayne is here with us, but there are many days that I mourn the old Wayne and our old life. I know Wayne feels the loss as well. It's walking that fine line of being thankful for each day, but also being sad about what has been loss.
My sister, Sarah, sent me this song and it ministered to me. The chorus line, "cause you gave me one more day to say I love you - you have brought me all this way to testify of grace," made me think of Wayne. Maybe this song will minister to you as well.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for our kids in Guatemala and the rest of the team as they serve this week.
