Jusy Tagging Along

I almost forgot.

The first Sunday my sisters and I were in Okinawa--Jan.29--we pinch hit for the special music. She notified Joyce that week she wasn't feeling well, so we decided to do a trio we used to sing together years ago: "All That Thrills My Soul Is Jesus"; do you know it?

Joyce, the pianist, you may remember from the Nov.30,2022 post, was a blue medalist in a university voice competition; Janice teaches piano in the U.S. Me? I sound nice when I tag along with the alto part.

Kinda like genuine Christian living. God sends ALL the grace, but His children get to ride on His coattails, beam, and pretend like we deserve some kind of credit.

SISTERS

As part of our time together in Okinawa, my sister Janice used some points to treat Joyce and me to an overnight stay at the ANA Intercontinental Hotel.

The actual treat began before even approaching the entrance lobby, as we picnicked on the grass near the front beach. A friendly little butterfly welcomed us, doing its best to keep its pretty wings open for us even when landing altho' they usually fold them, knowing humans usually enjoy seeing their pretty colors on the wings.

Our room was up on the 7th floor of the resort, where we were able to relax, reminisce, pray together, and enjoy the beautiful Okinawa scenery as evidence of how our loving Father would continue to bless us, His own.

Here is a drawing of the day God gave us. That's Janice reading from a book of memoirs; Joyce holding a laptop on her tummy while listening to her; and yours truly standing in front of the blinds--there's a story behind that.
