Serving Banquets

I wanted to write last week but ...goodness...it has been so busy...One thing IMMEDIATELY after the other. I am actually going to take a break this weekend before summer sets in. I am going to see our little cousin, Sarah..who claims now that we are sisters!
I have missed Landen sooo very much this week. There are days where I find it absolutely unbelievable that he is gone. Once my mind finally conceives the horrible concept my spirit feels heavy. I would not trade the 23 years I had with my brother for many people's life time relationships. God blessed me with such a person...THAT is hardly believable!
Anyway...last week was the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast. My friend Stuart and I helped serve the food for it. It brought back all of me and Landen's banquet serving days. I don't know that there was anything we enjoyed more. We served at banquets, funerals, weddings, reunions...you name it...we were there...Every year our youth group would put on an extravagant Valentine's Banquet. There was a France theme...one year we did a cruise and even another year we did a cowboy theme. Our first year mom and dad made us sing some love song together but we didn't want to. Because we didn't want to sing, we didn't work at it too hard at it. When it came time to sing we forgot the words to the chorus...however miraculously we remembered the verses... but the remarkable thing was we sang the same words in harmony! No one but our parents knew!!! Once the song was done everyone applauded then we exited. When we reached the kitchen Landen said, "How embarrassing! We are NEVER singing together again! Never!"...yet we did and I enjoyed singing with my brother...just not love songs.
