This morning we went to the actual National Day of Prayer Breakfast. It was much more like we thought it would be like. The room was a lot larger than the room we ate breakfast in last week. A band and choir welcomed everyone in and there were lots and lots of people and probably six times more food than the little room had last week.
The band and choir were great. Pastor Tom Holiday from Saddleback Church in California was the main speaker. His message was really good on priorities and love. One thing that really stuck out to me was that sometimes we get so busy trying to "succeed" that we miss out on relationships with others. At the end of your life it really won't matter too much how much you had accomplished if it did not include having meaningful relationships with others. What a lonely thought! God calls us to love and have fellowship with one another. Life is much more fun when you are experiencing it with other people.
The 58th Annual National Day of Prayer is May 7th this year. The theme for this year is "Prayer... America's Hope" and is based on the verse from Psalm 33:22 which states: "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you." It is awesome that our country still has a day set aside for prayer. During times like these we especially need to be prayerful! We hope you will be able to participate in praying for our country on that day as well as the rest of the days of the year.
