A Reason to Celebrate

Earlier this week a group of the Anderson relatives gathered for an evening meal at the Sunrise Care Center, our local nursing home.  Although the room is technically the "activity room", it has tables and chairs and a small kitchenette, making it the perfect place to come together.  Bert's aunt and uncle, Peggy and Leonard, are now residents of the nursing home, and it is easier for them to have us bring in a meal when a reason to celebrate arises.

 Our reason to celebrate this week was having their son, Brian, home for a visit from Hill City, South Dakota where he pastors the Lighthouse Assembly of God.  Aunt Arlene made a great batch of spaghetti, along with a lettuce salad.  A request was made for my fruit salad, and the meal was completed with garlic toast and an assortment of cakes and candies for dessert.
  

 

Put together family, food and fellowship and you can be sure laughter, smiles and hugs will join in.  Have you had a reason to celebrate this week?  If nothing else, say with the Psalmist:

 

"This is the day the Lord has made!

We will rejoice and be glad in it!"

~Psalm 118:24
