November Gratitude Challenge 2013

I am grateful to our friends who left town and let us have their CSA share this week, with fresh eggs!  I am grateful for the full cathedral at the Ordination of 7 deacons, for singing I Bind Unto Myself Today, Here I am Lord, and Be Thou My Vision, all favorites of mine.  For sitting with Karen from EFM who missed our reunion last week.  For watching Mercedes from EFM be ordained.  For Liz representing all of us and Silvia reading in French.  For our middle daughter Sarah supporting Rebecca by going to the Book Fair, because Rebecca would not otherwise go alone into crowds, and for Sarah finding it to be such a joy.  Good deeds are repaid quickly!  For all the crazy driving and dashing to meet the girls and get one to a choir concert on time and the other to a cross country team movie night on time at opposite ends of the County.  For Caleb's company.  For Frank's patience. For water to drink.  For café con leche tomorrow morning.  For knowing that even an overfull bag of stuff to do will close if you sit on it hard enough! For the luxuries that all of these events represent.  Friendship, family, books, cars, church . . .
