Lets start from the very beginning, a very good place to start when you read you begin with ABC when you sing you begin with Doe Ray Me, the first three notes just happen to be Doe Ray Me.............
I cannot believe how quickly the woman's ministry tea's come around, a couple of Saturdays ago, it was time for another one, and the theme this time was musical notes..... and yes everything was about music. My friend Cherry and I organise a tea 4 times a year, and I drive her nuts, God is good, just as the arrangements for the tea we are doing are finished then he gives me the theme for the next one........
Why do we as woman, think that we have to act grown up....... when deep down inside we are all children who want to be protected, wanted to be loved unconditionally and really want to get down and dirty and have some fun......... who says that Christians are miserable party poopers......... they just never have been to HMC............
We first took all the ladies back to Sunday school remember all those songs with the actions, well we had 30 ladies doing just that................. and boy did they look ridiculous........... and did we laugh, in the beginning they were a "little stiff" but by the third song........ well what can i say......... they did their Sunday school teachers proud.
Then we played a game, where I would give them the first few notes of a song, and they had to guess what song it was.................. with different points, depending on how many notes they needed to recognise the songs........... and I trusted them to do their own marking, and points........ mmmm...... lets just hope that they all put their Christian values to good use........ mmmmmmmm... choosing the songs was something of a problem and then I found a CD that had all the best songs on from well known musicals, I had to have a quick course on how to do this on my lap top, and with some help pulled it off........... and learnt a new skill as well, what more can we ask for..
Pass the parcel was a riot, with people doing everything not to be stuck with the parcel when the music finished, at the end of the day, we are all children at heart.
Kareoke, well Idols have got nothing on us....... give these ladies a microphone and you can't get them off the floor, we played in teams of four and as I didn't have 4 microphones, the "things" people are holding in their hands are sweets, that just happen to look like microphones...
And then the grand finale........... musical chairs.................. oh my goodness............. the sweetest of ladies became ......... well ............. I was very surprised, in the "heat" of the moment one of the ladies landed on the floor as she was "gently" pushed off the chair, and there were a number of "moments" when the "larger" ladies claimed their chairs.........
Lots of laughter and lots of fun..................... and more than anything a building block in the uniting of the sisters of Christ.......... we all at the end of the day want the same things, to be accepted for who we are........... warts and all.

Oh my does that look like fun! You are sooooo clever. What a great idea that I might just have to snag for a ladies church night...and I believe that it doesn't take getting drunk to have a good time...usually with a group of fun women you wouldn't know the difference! The Lord wants us to be happy and enjoy music and dance and fellowship..you hit all three for sure! Good Job!
