Amazing Concert

What a special weekend this turned out to be. Our daughter had her 12th birthday and was given a ticket to the Michael W. Smith and Down Here concert from her uncle. Does it get any better than that? Answer YES! All of the sudden her uncle was "stuck" with 4 extra tickets and all the girls and moms who had come to her party were able to attend the concert that night  all together. What a blessing that was!


The music was amazing,


the company was fantastic and



the worship was breathtaking!

Not only that but we had the best seats we have ever had at a concert. My husband happened to be working in Ottawa that day and was off a bit early. He went to Canadian Tire to buy a lawn chair and umbrella (it was really pouring rain at that point) so he could stake out a spot in line for good seats. He called us at 4:30 to let us know he was 8th in line. Yup, 8th! How do you explain that to three 12 year old girls? This may be the best seats and concert you may ever see, just so they don't feel let down in the future for other concerts. However, I don't think they cared about the future...

It was really about enjoying the present and the presence of God in a large gathering of believers.

God is so good.

  3. Christine, I saw you there on Sunday! We were waaaaaaay up in the balcony, last row actually! But that was ok, cuz I stood the whole time practically, so I wasn't blocking anyone's view at least. It was really good for sure.
