We celebrated a special Father’s Day!
Not only was it Mark’s first Father’s Day but he was also ordained tonight! The service was beautiful! Our dear friend Buddy Reeves gave a wonderful charge to the church to pray! Our former Pastor, Mike Woods, gave a eloquent charge to Mark to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel. And our pastor, Doug, gave an awesome message about the call of ministry. (We love Doug! We were so glad our friends and family got to hear him speak! We were proud to call him our pastor!).
Trey has been running a fever the last couple of days so we decided not to take him to the nursery. He sat with us for a little while. I think he thought the service was all about him because he made quite a show! Even when he was escorted to the back lobby he made his presence known to everyone…. oh that boy…. so crazy. By the end he was hungry, cranky and tired. This week up in Atlanta has worn him out! He is done! I expect him to sleep all the way home tomorrow!
It was so humbling to receive the prayer and encouragement from dear friends and family. It was just good to be encouraged and to see everyone! Buddy spoke a little about encouragement and he was right… sometimes it is like a cool drink of water on a hot day. And let me tell you Savannah is hot in more than one way! We feel refreshed and re-energized to go serve the city of Savannah! We love you guys! Thank you!
I am so proud of Mark! He is a man of God! His character is tried and true. He is honest, trustworthy, respectable, hard working and faithful. He loves the church! He loves doing ministry. He loves people. He is a wonderful Daddy! And loves me with all he’s got! I was proud to stand beside him as his wife and partner in ministry! Of course my husband has faults, but I know in his heart, his one desire is love God and love others in a way that they may know Him.
We love you Mark! We are so proud of you! Happy Father’s Day ~ Trisha and Trey
