Sunday: Full, Beautiful, Unexpected

I know, the comic above is really funny :) 

A quilt guild friend sent it. 

So no pictures of church, or of my meal afterwards with my

friend Photini as I forgot my phone at home! 

My friend has, for very valid understandable reasons, decided to leave

and probably relocate to her home country overseas.

I will miss her.

This is the 3rd person (the other 2 are a couple and a family) leaving our area

in the last month or so.  

It's just how it is going right now.

I am sad about it.  I am going to miss her. But I am seeking to be resolute and brave.

I did everything I hoped to do for preparing for this

very busy week, it's possibly going to be one of the hardest of my year

in terms of personal intensity. 

So today I cooked up a huge batch of rice, boiled some eggs for myself,

baked 2 loaves of bread, made pumpkin bread from a mix.

The good thing is that I am able to be quite organized when I need to be

and my cart is already packed with library books to return

and an emailed list of things to do. 

I have a cab scheduled to pick me up early

and am so glad for the many good things.

Including grocery delivery service,

which comes Tuesday with a lot of great things for us.

I am really thankful.

And I got to see my Husband excited about his toy soldier collection,

that is growing, and that's really nice.

I pray that you have peace from God and that 

when our small 'enough' is embarrassingly paltry, that

you will know that God will bless it,

that if we come to Him,

He will never forsake us, no matter what suffering may come.
