Peace in the Park

Last night, we walked out our front door, crossed the street and walked a block to our fine, small town park. A local church planned and sponsored an evening that included entertainment and great food (lots of it--and many options). We got in on the last part of the ventriloquist act, but I'm really thankful we heard the whole Wissmann Family concert!

This amazing family of 13 children (2 are married and weren't singing last night)  play 15 different stringed instruments, sing three-part and four-part harmony, and demonstrate the beauty of a family that works, sings, travels and plays together.  The picture above doesn't include the sons, younger daughters, and their mother.

When I returned home, I went to their website (with a "web" of features--all interesting) where I was humbled to find that they do a daily Christmas show in Branson, MO  for six weeks in November and December.  That they came to our little, unincorporated village made me appreciate them even more!

The words to the songs of faith that they sang encouraged my heart--songs of the faithfulness of God and of trust in Jesus....

What a peaceful way to end our day!
