Friends,
Last weekend held great events.
1. The Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast was outstanding. The food was excellent, but the fellowship was even better. Even before entering the fellowship hall, Lion members at the desk waved and said "welcome." On the way to the pancake table, at least three Lions greeted you and made you feel very welcome.
There were not only the residents who have lived here many years, there were also young couples and children. No one seemed to be in a rush -- much visiting and enjoying the morning of togetherness.
Lions were everywhere. Cooking, cleaning tables, washing dishes, serving and visiting with their guests.
It was a great morning as the Village came together to help a great organization and see old friends and make new friends.
2. Sunday morning the 10 A.M. Church of Christ was excellent. Not using music instruments, the singing voices of the people were simply beautiful as they sang in parts and harmony.
Before and after the service, there was a feeling of care and concern for each other -- lots of "how are you," hugs and hand shakes, and genuine "glad to see you." One thank you note in the bulletin ended with "You are truly family."
And of course, Joe Keyes' sermon, "Keeping God in you Plans" was thought-provoking.
3. Sunday afternoon, 16 children and youth, gave a piano recital in the First Baptist Church that lifted spirits and made everyone proud. It is amazing how much their musical talents have grown. All played and sang without music. One child was 4 years old -- how amazing is that
Salado has some very special young people -- really special! They are smart, gifted, courteous, and a pleasure to know.
It was a remarkable afternoon with parents, grandparents, and friends -- smiling, laughing, clapping -- all wearing their "proud suits."
Sometimes we forget what a great Village we are. Sure we have our problem and our worries, but like any family we have our wonderful moments that far out weigh our bad times.
