Today was Father Jacob's last day as visiting priest. There was a going-away party in his honor, and Ceil was in attendance. We went over early to hear the last part of Father Jacob's message. Ceil listened very closely and was pondering every word, even though she had heard the message yesterday. Afterward, we met Father Jacob by the church office to say hello and wish him well. As Linda was describing Ceil's current condition, Father Jacob looked down on her with a deep concern and compassion. He then laid his hand on her head and prayed a moving and sincere prayer for her healing and restoration. A truly touching moment. Father Allan also greeting Ceil warmly and touched her head with a prayer of anointing and healing. We had a nice time visiting and snacking on fruit and treats brought by the parishioners.
After Ceil's nap we went to lake George for the taste of St. Cloud celebration. Ceil was ready to get out in the sun and enjoy the afternoon. It was windy and warm by the lake. As we made our way around the lake we saw the jets flying in formation in the distance at the air show. We stopped by the splash-pad, Shetland ponies, and enjoyed a snack in the shade. It was a great Sunday for Ceil.
