Dinner on a Porch

Members of our church, Bill & Karen Turner, invited Penny and me to their beautiful country home for dinner tonight. We knew the meal was going to be amazing since Karen is a wonderful cook, but we didn't realize how wonderful the atmosphere was going to be.

We enjoyed our meal outside on their picturesque front porch. They brought everything out on a cart and with a gentle breeze, a nice temperature, the sun just beginning to set in the west, and a humming bird nearby, we had a wonderful time sharing stories and taking in the evening.

This was one of those "God is truly present" kind of moments where grace was abounding.

Thank you Bill and Karen, for a wonderful evening of food and fellowship as God's creation surrounded us in all of it's beauty.
