OH, THAT LEMON!

Postscript to Maddy’s fairy-tale princess experience as a flower girl in an elegant wedding: what did she like best about the whole thing?

‘’The lemon.’’

We pondered. Maybe she saw a lemon artfully garnished on the mountain of shrimp at the reception. Or something.

Then she clarified: nooooo, she had liked RIDING in the lemon.

Ohhh! THAT lemon!

The LIMO!!!

Figures. That other fairy-tale princess, Cinderella, rode around in a PUMPKIN. . . .

Prayer request: Glory to God! Praises and thanksgiving! The nice Christian fellow who was struck by lightning Saturday night, John Reimer, has had a near-miraculous recovery. According to a radio report, he was sitting up in his hospital bed and talking to people. Doctors are amazed; he wasn’t expected to live. Surgery and recovery still loom for his son, who was injured in the same incident, but the community’s prayer warriors were mobilized bigtime on this one, and the power of prayer has been displayed once again, like a mighty lightning bolt, for all to see. Thank You, Jesus. (Matthew 6:13)
