It has been 16 days since my dad came home from the hospital. He has now been home the same amount of time he was in the hospital. Tonight is the first night he is going out. He is going to a Thanksgiving celebration at church. The celebration is part of our Encore ministry. Encore is the name we call our group of people over the age of 50. Actually it should be much older than that since I now qualify for that group. Anyway, I love the name. At a concert when the music is particularly good and no one wants it to end the crowd calls for an encore. It is a little extra and a good musician will save one of the best songs for the encore. My dad is in charge of that ministry at our church. Tonight he comes out for his own encore. A little more than a month ago I thought we were planning a funeral. When I sat with him on the bathroom floor and he couldn't speak or move I thought at the very least he would never be the same. Tonight he is on the program to pray before the program begins. I have been to many concerts and seen many encores but I have never looked forward to one more than tonight.
