Good morning, friends! Happy Sunday to you. Whether this
week has been good or heavy for you, I hope you find some rest and peace in
this day. And if you have a moment, I’d love to share with you some of the
moments that stuck out in our week!
Last Sunday I started teaching an elective Sunday
School class at our church. It’s a short term class – just a few weeks – but I
am having the BEST TIME preparing for it. Last week we learned about verse
mapping, which is something one of our previous small groups did for an entire
year. It’s a beautiful way to explore small sections of Scripture, and I loved
trying my hand at it again!
We took Lexi to visit her grandparents this week.
She was so excited for a car trip and to hang out with her grandpa for a
while. (Honestly, I’m not sure which one of them gets more excited…Lexi or my
Dad!)
Ryan and I spend time each week prepping for our
role in helping to lead GriefShare at our church. Yes, it takes some time to
prep, and yes, it’s an extra commitment each week, but oh my goodness, the
information we are learning in this group is so valuable. The program
itself is so well done, and I’m scribbling a billion notes about it, but I’m
also learning so much from the participants in the group. They share their
hearts SO bravely, and I’ve learned so much that I never considered about
grief. What a rich experience!
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with
meetings. Part of the hate side of that could be traced back to meetings that
were totally unnecessary in content or length. Hours of my life I’ll never get
back. But I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying the meetings I attend for
this job. Sure, coffee helps, but even that aside, I just enjoy all I’m
learning from the conversations in the meetings!
Spring started in a calendar-official way this week.
It’s really too bad the weather did not get that memo. Here was the view
outside my window on the first day of spring. Sigh.
You know what is a good part in ANY day? Meeting a
sweet new baby. Got a chance to spend some time with this cutie this week, and
it made my whole day. Lots of smiles and giggles and yawns. (From the baby, I
mean. I wasn’t yawning!)
Ryan surprised me with a coffee and some fresh
flowers this week. Such a sweet gesture of love. Thank you, Ryan!! It really is
the littlest things that make the biggest impact!
