We have this fabulous group at our church that call themselves the JOY group. JOY stands for Just Older Youth. Every month these senior adults have a fun fellowship which includes a meal, decorations and a program with various people. A few months ago the lady in charge asked if our family would be interested in hosting a program. We love these folks, so I agreed. She got back in touch with me and told me they decided to go with a Mr Rogers visits the neighborhood theme. Well, I loved the Mr Rogers Neighborhood television program so I agreed. It was a huge mistake on my part to not ask Richard if HE would be available. Three weeks ago when she reminded me of the date, I had to tell her Richard was going to be out of town on the first Tuesday of the month. ...I was so embarrassed by my mistake!
They ended up moving the date from the first Tuesday to the second Tuesday to accommodate us. I really wanted to do a good job with the program, and since I had volunteered Richard for the gig I wrote the program. Richard had to get into full character so he could host the evening, and he did a fabulous job! It went off without a hitch, and with the help of few special guests, we had fun and enjoyed the evening with this great group of people. I'm thankful for our church family.
