It's Sunday.  
And we were not in church.  
Again.  
For the umpteenth Sunday in a row. 
But we were in ministry.  
Again. 
For the umpteenth Sunday in a row.
We wouldn't be anywhere else
doing anything else.
We truly love what we are doing.

She's been to Shiloh many times before.  Often with her husband.  But this time she came alone.  She eats breakfast and dinner with us and spends all the rest of the time in her room.  Has many projects she is working on.  Taking time to rest and relax a bit, too.  Theirs is a very busy ministry.  He's a surgeon and she is a nurse.  Doing a wonderful, wonderful work for our Lord.  We dearly love this couple.  They always bless and encourage our hearts.

This time she needs to be ministered to.  This time she lingers at the table talking, sharing, unburdening her heart.  Breakfast began at 8 a.m. and ended at 11 a.m. Dinner went from 5:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.  She's found a safe place here at Shiloh.  And we are honored to be here for her in her hour of need.  

Did we mention that we truly love what we are doing?
