Mmmmmmmmmm what a lovely weekend followed by a beautiful Monday :)
Still have half my day left but I felt like I should capitalized on this free moment I found myself and catch you up on the past weekend.
Saturday was wonderful. Me and a team of 8 teens (plus Vinny) headed out to our Adopt-a-Block sites. It was a little chilly - but no rain in the forecast! I got to meet several new families and visit with them all morning. It was quite pleasant. Then I spent the rest of my day caring for Sue who caught a bit of the flu. We finished off our evening by the fire watching Pride and Prejudice.
Yesterday we had church in the morning where I was on children's church duty. Woowee! I was ready for a nap after that one! Good kids. . . but full of energy! After lunch I left Sue to rest and headed out to visit an elderly man on my Adopt-a-Block site. His health is poor and I know he doesn't have much time left - I feel called to visit him daily. Can't remember his name. . . but I know it starts with McC - so that's what I've been calling him. After a short visit I went down to Lough Shore to walk along the beach and watch the sunset. (I must say I couldn't help but collect some more shells to add to my collection!) Church last night was up-beat and powerful! We had an African Night. Lots of music, colorful clothes, and food! What a crazy time we had!
This morning the sun was out. . . as was the frost. (Sigh) The winter has officially arrived! Not much longer now before the snow hits. Been in the office catching up on things. Cleaning. Organizing. Had a skype date with my family (minus one brother) for an early birthday celebration. Can't wait to be with them again! Not much planned for the rest of the day. . . finishing a couple things in the office then heading out to see Mr. McC before making my way home for dinner.
I am completely blessed. I was reading through some old journals I have here with me and it's amazing being able to look back and see the journey the Lord has taken me on in the past year. I am so unworthy but ever so grateful!
I hope you are all enjoying this lovely day - November 7, 2011. It's a once in a lifetime moment. . . don't waste it.
