Trick or Treat

I had a particularly difficult day at work, and came home in the mood to "vent".  The problem was how to do this without upsetting someone else.  Luckily it was "trick or treat" night.  Soooooo, when I heard little voices outside the dark front door, I put on a big white hat, switched on the light, flung the door open, and SCREAMED!!   Our 2 little pugs also rushed out barking, and joining in the mayhem.  Well.... the darling little children got what they wanted (hee,  hee, hee) and I got to "vent".

Enid's Funeral

The church was packed for Enid's funeral.  Graeme was free to challenge the folk to remember the testimony of her life, and check whether they knew the Lord that she lived for.

 It is still difficult to think that she was at Bible study on Thursday evening, and dead on Saturday morning.

Enid Bowers

Today, at about 2.15pm our dear sister, Enid Bowers, went to be with her Lord.  It was most unexpected.

Yesterday, she went to see the doctor with what appeared to be bad flu symptoms, and was sent home with the usual flu medication.  But this morning she had the shakes, was running a temperature and was strangely lethargic; so her husband Harold phoned their daughter, Wendy, who is a nurse.  Wendy rushed over and found her mom very short of breath, and looking very ill.  Within a very short time, Enid simply fell back on the bed, and had passed away.  Wendy did CPR for about 15 minutes, but was unable to resuscitate her mom.

Enid was one of those people who was very good at "background work."  She cleaned the church each week; grew flowers and arranged them for the Sunday services at Head O'Wain; prepared the communion table each month.

Our heartfelt prayers go out to her husband, Harold, and the rest of her grieving children, grandchildren, and brothers and sisters.

Praise the Lord!

Tonight, before Bible study started, Mary told Graeme that her mother wanted to ask him something.  91 year old Mildred asked "Will you baptise me?"  Mary then said that she also wanted to be baptised!  Hallelujah!!
