Lots to be thankful for! Church was stunning Xmas Eve. 5 pm...the children sang Silent night in German while lighting their candles. So touching. Andrew did a wonderful job with his part in the Xmas play written by church member Denise Caraher. She does this every year. This year it was about angels and being aware that angels can be all around us and we should treat each other as such. Andrew was Gabriel The church was full to the balcony. 7 pm...communion service and I pinched hit for someone not there serving communion. Not so many folks. 10:30...music, music, music. So much to sing and so beautiful. Once again more people than 7 but the 5 pm service seems to be the most popular, planned and expedited by the youth/children of the church.
We did a new visual thing in adding candles to the altar area with more being added each service until the last one with probably 75 candles lit across the front of the sanctuary. Really magical and stunning were comments. Humm...wonder if we'll do this next year! It was work! We were in bed by 2:am. Woo..Christmas day was a dud day trying to regenerate ourselves. So happy to sit and not think!! ! Sorry family...it was my day alone. We had supper with Kat and Eric and Kat's mother and brother as well. Thankful for that for sure. Today...better, better. I'm alive again! Did some grocery shopping...ran the sweeper and finished filling the stockings.
Tomorrow is soup kitchen in the morning. Kids are coming to stay with Doug and then hope to see the Michigan family sometime in the evening. Fri. and Sat. will be with FAMILY! I have some cooking done already! I just love to sit and watch everything happening. Hard to wait for the excitement.
