T'was  the  Night Before  Homecoming

10/22/2013

 
by  Robert  E.  LaFavre Pastor  Emeritus First   Baptist Church,  Mossy Head, Florida  

T'was the night before homecoming, And all through Mossy Head's kitchens,
Pots were oiling,   and  pans  a'frying,  and  Ovens baking to  assauge our dietary itch'ins.  

On Sunday morning,  we gathered at church To worship as we had been  beckoned.
And  by Lew,  the choir,  and  orchestra, We enjoyed a great service, I  reckin.  

The Pastor baptized, and the cngregation praised
While Dianne and  Suzzane,  and  Kim At the piano and keyboards, Oh, such a heavenly ruckus they raised.  

Bro. David,  our Director of Missions, Delivered a message:     It was  bold.
He declared that we should never say  cain't; Oh, yes,  a message that  ne'er grows  old.  

Behind the scene, the men and women and youth  jumped in and their labor  expended;
So  that we could enjoy a dinner,  that I'm sure my doctor never for me intended.  

So,  thanks Suzzane, Tina, Glenda, and Kim For displaying (with the help of Gary) 
All that abundance   provided by our ladies, for later when  us'ns  were ready!  

Clean-off   afterwards  was spearheaded by Robin,  Mary,  Marsha,  Harriet, and Jo D, 
Mitch and Sue and our youth broke down  the tables and chairs and mopped the floor with glee.  

What can I say ?  What to declare ?? I know....  a  great big  "THANK  YOU"
To   one  and all who helped, Our gratitude is  sincere and due.  


Our next homecoming is set for October 19, '13; But I don't think that it will be held.  
WHY ??? "Cause  I look for the imminent return of our Lord  and  Saviour, Jesus,   the Christ.  

If Jesus returns to take His children home, And the rapture occurs in the coming year,
Then we will all  join together at the Marriage Feast of the Lamb,  have no fear.
