A Blessed Weekend

Hi All, I don't know about you but I had a fantastic and blessed Independence Day weekend! I want to tell you about it and then put forth a challenge to you. Why was my weekend so blessed and fantastic? I got to fishing for a few hours and I caught a six pound bass, wow! I got to go to two birthday parties for my two youngest grandsons. Drew turned two and Chase three. I ran in one of the toughest 5k's I have ever been in, the Reagan Run, but I did it! I was blessed to be a part of our worship service as I along with others participated in Holy Communion. Beckie and I started a new project in our backyard. I got to work side by side with my wife! Later that night I saw a wonderful Fireworks display in Prophetstown. Beckie and I had a 25 mile bike ride on the Fourth and then I got in a two hour nap. Have not done that since I was two! And lastly our neighbors allowed to have an evening swim in thier pool. Anyway I tell you all of this because I am thankful to God for the blessing of this past weekend! And God wants to here from us our thanksgiving and praise, and He deserves to hear it! So, I want you to not simply nod your head if you had a blessing this weekend, God and I want to hear from you. As a matter of fact tell it all who read this whether here or on Our Church Face book page or in an e-mail. Tell everyone how God has blessed you. and if you do it on facebook, I do not want to simply see that you "Like" what I have had to say. That's a cop-out! Let us all be Blessed by your past weekends happenings. Let us all give God the Glory. If you don't, God will call out the Stones to give Him Praise and you know what, it feels good to give thanks and offer praise. I look forward to hearing from you all. Pastor Rick Koch
