We were running a bit behind after dropping food off at David and Jeanette's tonight. We pulled in to the church parking lot at 4:59.59 p.m. for the 5:00 p.m. service. The person directing traffic directed Micah right into an open "first time visitor" spot. She's like, "Mom, what do I do?" I'm saying, "Park the car! We're late!"
As we hopped out of the car, I asked the traffic director with a big smile, "Will we lose our membership if we park here?" He responded with, "You looked like you needed a good parking spot. Happy Easter!" I said, "This is better than chocolate!" to which he laughed.
The story, as you know, could only get better. Our hospitality director was outside following the service, handing out booklets to all of those who had parked in "visitor parking".
Know that we have known Christa since we went to Ukraine with her husband Terry in 2017. And we got to explain to Christa tonight why we were in the "first time visitor" spot. Fortunately, she knows us well enough to know that we wouldn't normally park there and laughed with us at our good fortune!
