Taking everything into consideration, this has been one of the best weeks! Just in the comfortable, enjoyable normal progression of days.
Wednesday night I had the party to go to at Don Wassel’s house. So fun chatting with long-time friends as well as new friends.
Thursday morning early Kelly came up, and we spent all day baking cookies, shopping, having lunch, running errands, and watching a Christmas movie on Hallmark. Before she left Friday morning I made her two new rice bags and a Christmas Pillow Case.
Saturday was the Three Centuries program at Hanna’s Town and it was very fun, as well. Several long-time friends there to share the afternoon with.
Today was my last day of teaching Sunday School. I started helping my mom when I was in High School, and taught Sunday School, Sunday night and Wednesday night classes – as well as YEARS of VBS – from that point forward. I have been teaching Kindergarten since around 1976, so a long stretch. It feels strange to think about being done.
Todd’s message today was ‘God’s protection and delight.’ Talking about what we look forward to: conflict will vanish; it’s easy to get angry. Words crush the soul. The more you praise, the happier you get. Our punishment has been removed – HE will bring us home. God battles for us.
After church today my cousin Mark gathered up a bunch of our family, in addition to my friend Mary, and we all went to lunch at Chili’s. I haven’t done that in years and years. It was very fun to spend time with Deb, Jim, and Mike, Kim and Brian, Mark, and Mary. Good conversation, some laughs, and yummy food. I even have leftovers to have for supper. So far no plans at all except for work this week.
This evening I cleaned out my carry bags – the one I always took to church with my Sunday School materials in it, and the one I had for work with PENNDOT information. So that’s done! Quiet but fun day!
My blessing today was family lunch. We need more of these.
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW December 16th is:
Barbie and Barney Backlash Day; Day of Reconciliation; National Chocolate Covered Anything Day; National Hose Day; National Underdog Day; National Wreaths Across America Day; Stupid Toy Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Garland Day; Tomorrow: Chocolate covered anything! I could check out some stupid toys. God bless.
