daily life as life goes on . . .

Flexibility keeps you from getting bent out of shape.  My appointment calendar changed as the day progressed.

So today, I spent time with two people who surely are the salt of the earth.  Ann farmed with her husband in small town Saskatchewan.  Recently she has moved to Kindersley.  Her accommodations are nice.  The view is nice.  The people are nice.  And she is adjusting.

The second person is a Salvation Army officer.  Mike first came on my radar in 1994.  He had been in Prince Albert for a year.  We both ended up just over a decade in Prince Albert.  The friendship continues and our coffee time was enjoyable.  We even started talking the “retirement” word.  Funny, when we first met we were just settling into our 40’s and considered young bucks! 

Now look at us!  Young at heart and older in body.

And now I settle in to prepare a devotional for tomorrow for the seniors at Caleb Village.  This is one of those very enjoyable groups that inspire me!  And they always provide tea time following!

May your day be ordered as God sees fit.  And often that means the unexpected tucked into the scheduled!

The fun in in the being together.

After our morning service we invited people to stay.  Join us for soup and sandwiches.  And put in a bit of money to support our youth to go to a youth conference at our denominational college.  Middle of March – so we have a bit of time to get finances together.

15 kids prepared the meal (and their mothers!).  They were loud and had fun.  I loved just listening.

And then around the tables they chatted.  I love to hear the decibels rise.  I walked away thankful for soup and sandwiches!

Looks like our son will be flying in the next few days.  Probably Sunday, or maybe Monday, depending on the flight schedule Royal Caribbean is able to put together.  About eight months ago he left to continue his job as theatre stage manager.  Now, a few contracts later he’ll be back to the winter weather of Canada.

The climate will be a cool one, but a change may be as good as a rest.  We’ll see!

For the last day or so I’ve been in Regina.  There were denominational meetings related to our senior pastor’s network.  8 hours of driving over the last day or so has tired me out.  So, off to bed and trust you have a good rest as well.
