I got to thinking about today. And just had to briefly break my blogging fast to sprinkle some brief recollections from my memory’s shaker. <\/p>\n
Youngest son home for the day<\/p>\n
Youngest daughter here for several days for a change<\/p>\n
Good (I thought) men’s Sunday School class, despite the teacher (who was I) being the least prepared he’s been all month<\/p>\n
My turn teaching that class for a month is done (and I was given the opportunity to teach another month — I love teaching, but no more for now)<\/p>\n
A very good message, preached by my own Dad<\/p>\n
Middle daughter and youngest daughter happily holding their newest niece<\/p>\n
Happily, gleefully, gingerly, joyfully, satisfied-ly holding granddaughter<\/p>\n
A wonderful meal time with (only \ud83d\ude41 ) some of our children and one of my brothers-in-law<\/p>\n
Watching and listening to my wife with our littlest grandchild<\/p>\n
A really good nap<\/p>\n
Sitting a bit with my folks before the evening service started<\/p>\n
An enjoyable singing program by two of our children (with the local youth group, of course), directed by one of my best friends (who invited me out for breakfast yesterday morning)<\/p>\n
An upbeat, energized visiting speaker with a God-ward devotional<\/p>\n
Post service, a kind, gratuitous, “nice tenor” compliment by the brother sitting in front of me<\/p>\n
A post-service, pleasant chat with the brother sitting behind me<\/p>\n
Oldest son and a nephew-in-law conniving after the service to get our Honda running again<\/p>\n
A nice text exchange with oldest daughter<\/p>\n
Evening wrapped up with beautiful, soothing music played by our youngest daughter on a loaner keyboard<\/p>\n
Youngest daughter gets to stay an extra day<\/p>\n
I really needed all that. Rejoice with me!<\/p>\n
(No, the day wasn’t all nice and peachy. Far from it, in fact.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
