Bob and I went to our Stephen Ministry meeting this morning.
I love this group of people more each time I am in their midst. We truly laugh,
cry, confide and eat all within our morning time slot. We are bound to
confidentiality that really brings more private discussions. We prepare our
prayer list for the month as we gather names to be included in our calls to
God. These people gathered in that room provide me with spiritual and emotional
fuel to keep me moving. I know that I can call on anyone in that group and they
would do their best to be at my side at a moment’s notice. Thank you God for
letting them be part of my life. The Stephen Ministry philosophy has done me
more good than I have ever given to others.
Stephanie and Bob did their annual shopping for a new outfit
as part of her birthday celebration. This idea started back when she was about
to begin kindergarten and was in need of school clothes. Even though she no
longer goes to school and can’t be claimed as a dependent on our tax forms,
this ritual has continued with Stephanie’s goody bags only getting larger. I
love to sit back and watch them both swing into action. Now I say the word
“outfit” very loosely for Stephanie came out of the store this time with FIVE
outfits. Yep, she is Poppy’s girl.
We came back home and later continued her early birthday
celebration. My goofy child is not really a fan of cakes, so this year she got
a big container of that taco dip. She got a variety of things for her new
office/craft room in pink (a color deprived of her since becoming a mother of
two boys), so it was easy getting gifts to compliment that room. It’s been a long time since she could
purchase things that were pink to display throughout her home.
I’m tired. The little ones are on Eastern time so arrived by
my bed a tad bit earlier than I would have expected. It’s amazing how much time
I spend on the floor when my little buddies are in town. I love the rough
housing and personal transformation in to a jungle gym, but my body definitely
calls “time” in a short time
period. Their schedule keeps them busy since Chris’ family is visiting his
brother in a nearby town, but we do manage to get in our share of shopping and
laughing.
That’s really it for tonight. Nothing is too exciting here,
but I guess that really is going to explain more and more of the days in the
future. Continue those prayers for my husband please. There are a lot of tough
notions in that prognosis.
With that I will say adieu. Thanks for caring enough to read
my postings. May tomorrow bring you good health and a good body to enjoy it
with.
