Mission Report - #32

We have been confined by snow yet again.  Our week started out with handling matters within the house that would be distributed and/or sent to Mother's House later.  Yesterday, we were able to leave the house, thank you, God, for good neighbors, and made our way to Mother's House.  Impossible it was to enter there.  The snow was plowed so deeply and fully, we could not even find our driveway.  Since a ditch lay on either side of the entrance, guessing our way in was not to be considered.

So our week of work became a week of meditation, patience and prayerfulness.  Wednesday night we were able to conduct a Communion Service and disburse Ashes in the church hall.  Father was confined to his parish in New Madrid.  Highway travel was impossible.  

This morning, the Friday after Ash Wednesday, we are cautiously free to travel.  Sister is on the road and Don will be out taking care of some personal tasks today.  I am in and will enjoy the quiet, finish this week's bible study chapter, and start work on a surprise for our daughter, Krista.

Psalm 51: 3-4

3  Have mercy on me, God, in accord with your merciful love; in your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions.  4  Thoroughly wash away my guilt;and from my sin cleanse me.
