I forgot to mention last night that I looked out the window yesterday and spied one of the neighbor’s chickens in our front yard. Dinner? I started another episode of “An Unsuitable Job for a Woman” and next thing I knew it was after one o’clock! I read a few pages and then called it a night.
I got up at 7:30 to take care of email and whatever before heading off to Bible Study. I was all dressed when I realized I was awfully warm. I checked the outside thermometer and saw that it was 50° already. I shed those wintery clothes and dressed in lighter weight clothing. I arrived at the same time as Bev, Ruth, Hannah and Jo, albeit we were all about five minutes late. I parked at the far end of the lot so I could get a tad of exercise. Doris, Rose, Susan, Maralyn and Silvia were aleady there. Liz, my prayer sister, is off camping. Others were sick or had doctor appointments. Our topic today was “Knowing God as the Word” and we got about half way through it. Doris is cute – she gets so rattled if we don’t get through the hole thing, but folks have lots to share that adds to the study and shows how to apply what we are learning to life.
When I got back to the car I realized that my wallet was at home instead of with me. Thank goodness I discovered that then since Bill had mentioned my going to Wok II for some takeout soup. I would have been mortified to arrive to pick up the order he called in and have no way of paying for it! I probably couldn’t have gotten anything from my bank either with no identity. I carefully made my way down the road and into Key Center to the post office. Of course since I arrived while they were closed for lunch there was a package that needed to be picked up. I went over to Lisa’s Deli and got some soup for Bill. I “borrowed” some money from my mail money, went back and picked up the package and then drove home.
Since I got home I’ve been knitting on the baby “waffle” afghan. I have about four more repeats of the four row pattern and then I’ll bind off and then I’m supposed to crochet four rows to finish it off. I missed Deanna’s call this morning. I talked to Nadine tonight to confirm our “date” tomorrow night for the concert at church. Now I’m off to see what the evening brings my way.
I used to think that God's gifts were on shelves - one above the other and the taller we grew, the more easily we could reach them. I now find that God's gifts are on shelves one beneath the other and that it is not a question of growing taller but of stooping lower. - F. B. Meyer
